The event marked the commencement of a 24-month venture-building accelerator program led by Upgrade Innolab Inc. under the European Unionโ€“Philippines Green Economy Partnership (EU-GEPP). The initiative is designed to support circular economy startups and micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) across Mindanao, particularly in Regions X, XI, XII, XIII, and the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM). Through venture-building support, financial subgrants, and capacity development opportunities, the program aims to transform sustainable innovations into scalable and investment-ready enterprises.

The launch began with a press conference moderated by Betsy Tulio and featured a distinguished panel composed of Dir. Romeo Castaรฑaga, Regional Director of the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) XI; Richard R. Day, President of Upgrade Innolab Inc.; and Fatima Pauline Malate, Founder of E3 Philippines.

(CCCII), the ASEAN Circular Economy Business Alliance (ACEBA), Quest Ventures, and Sustina. The launch underscored a collective commitment to promoting sustainability, innovation, and green entrepreneurship through strategic partnerships and collaborative action.

The afternoon session featured the dialogue titled โ€œScaling Circularity in Mindanao: A Conversation with the Philippinesโ€™ Key Green Economy Program Drivers.โ€ Insights were shared by April Ong Vaรฑo, Head of ESG at Quest Ventures, and Anna Reyes, Executive Director and President of Sustina PH. Moderated by Richard R. Day, the discussion explored strategies for accelerating green investments, strengthening sustainability practices, and enabling circular business models that create both economic and environmental value.

The event concluded with presentations from the programโ€™s seven selected subgrantee venturesโ€”Anitu, Envirotech, Espoir, Agrinex, Lesstics, GreenTayo, and Lilamaya. Each enterprise showcased innovative solutions aimed at addressing sustainability challenges and advancing circular economy practices, demonstrating the potential of locally driven innovations to contribute to a more resilient and sustainable future for Mindanao.

In today's rapidly evolving workplace, businesses face a common challenge: attracting, integrating, and retaining talent across multiple generations from Baby Boomers and Generation X to Millennials and Generation Z.

As part of its commitment to supporting the growth and competitiveness of the business community, the Davao City Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Inc. (DCCCII) successfully conducted its 5th General Membership Meeting on May 29, 2026, at the Grand Regal Hotel Davao.

With the theme "Workforce Integration Gap and Retention Strategies for the New Generation", the Chamber provided a valuable platform for business leaders, entrepreneurs, and industry stakeholders to gain practical insights on bridging generational differences, fostering collaboration, and building a more engaged and resilient workforce.

We were honored to have Dr. Marie Joyce Tupas, the COPERS Director of Ateneo de Davao University, as our resource speaker, who shared expert perspectives on how organizations can harness the strengths of every generation, from the wisdom and experience of Baby Boomers and Generation X to the innovation, adaptability, and digital fluency of Millennials and Generation Z.

At DCCCII, we believe that empowering businesses with relevant knowledge and meaningful connections is key to building a stronger, future-ready economy. Through initiatives like these, the Chamber continues to catalyze business growth, innovation, and workforce development in Davao and beyond.

Together, we bridge generations. Together, we build stronger businesses. Together, we build a stronger Davao.

On the evening of May 24, 2026, the Davao City Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Inc.

We also extend our deepest gratitude to our valued sponsors: Davao Light and Power Co., DITO Telecommunity Corp., Pocari Sweat (Philippines), and the Davao City Water District.

More than just a sporting event, the fellowship reflects the Chamberโ€™s continued commitment to promoting wellness, camaraderie, and stronger connections within the communityโ€”building relationships that extend beyond the workplace.

From exciting rallies to shared laughter and new friendships, the fellowship highlighted the growing community of people who love pickleballโ€”or those who simply wanted to try and enjoy the sport for the first time. Thank you to everyone who joined and made this milestone event truly memorable and successful!

Hereโ€™s to more opportunities to connect, stay active, and build stronger friendships through sports and fellowship.
