The Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Muntinlupa expressed their confidence in Mayor Jaime Fresnedi’s administration, as he leads the local government to greater heights in trade and investments.
PCCI-Muntinlupa president Elvie Sanchez-Quiazon lauded Fresnedi’s initiatives in promoting innovations to streamline business processes during a Thanksgiving Banquet organized by the city government for members of the private sector on Wednesday.
“PCCI-Muntinlupa would like to express our utmost thanks Mayor Jaime Fresnedi’s leadership in championing ease of doing business with the government. Our continued optimism over Mayor Fresnedi’s commitment to bring real change has been credited to the implementation of innovations not only for the business community but also for all Muntinlupa residents,” Quiazon said.
