Mangio named chair of PCCI’s 46th expo

MANILA, Philippines — The Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI) has named Korean Sangyupsal owner Enunina Mangio as chair of the 46th Philippine Business Conference and Expo (PBC&E), making her only the second woman to steer the biggest gathering of businessmen, policymakers and thought leaders in the country.

A licensed engineer by profession, Mangio is chairman of the board and president of Choosers Choice Food & Development Corp., Mawell Chemical Corp. and Servcare Int’l Corp., an international group engaged in mining, resorts, hotels and casinos and property management with subsidiaries in the US, Asia and Dubai.

Mangio has been an active member of PCCI serving as chair of the Philippines-Korea Business Council and Philippines-USA Business Council.  She is an honorary consul of the Republic of Liberia in Manila and charter president of Rotary Club of Fort Bonifacio West.

“I am honored with the appointment. My chairmanship is exciting and challenging at the same time as it is happening while the country is in a health crisis. We aim to be able to impart innovative solutions to businesses especially on how they can navigate their ecosystems in this new normal,” Mangio said.

The PBC&E is a venue for policymakers and business and industry captains to meet and exchange ideas on current and pressing issues, as well as on potential business opportunities. One of the significant highlights of the PBC&E is an audience with President Duterte where the business community will present a set of policy resolutions that resulted from national and regional consultations.

This year’s conference will have innovation@ph as its theme. It will look closely into the country’s innovation ecosystem and deep dive into how executives in government and across industries are leading digital transformation across different aspects of government and business operations.
