Junior Chamber International (JCI) Manila, a leading leadership development organization in Asia, alongside the Angeles City Culiat chapter, has been granted the esteemed hosting rights to the JCI World Congress in 2026. This prestigious event is expected to attract thousands of young leaders from around the globe, providing a platform for dynamic talks from pioneering businessmen, networking, and collaborative projects.
The event aims to connect Filipino JCI members with their global counterparts, fostering the exchange of ideas and best practices. It’s an initiative that not only promotes international collaboration but also strengthens local chapters through valuable relationships. By doing so, JCI Philippines ensures it remains a vibrant and innovative community of young leaders.
“Securing this hosting right is a testament to the exceptional organizational capabilities and dynamic spirit of these two esteemed chapters. As preparations gear up, the anticipation builds for a conference that promises to leave a lasting impact on all participants and further elevate the Philippines' standing in the global community,” said Luis Angelo Sevilla, appointed 2026 JCI World Congress Director.
Founded to empower young people to create positive change, JCI Manila and JCI Angeles City Culiat have been actively involved in various initiatives that address community needs and foster leadership development. Their projects range from disaster relief and educational programs to environmental sustainability and public health campaigns.
For instance, JCI Angeles City Culiat has a proven track record of organizing impactful events that uplift communities. Following the Mt. Pinatubo eruption in 1991, JCI Angeles City Culiat launched "Tigtigan Terakan Keng Dalan" (TTKD), a street party event aimed at boosting community morale and revitalizing the local economy. Over three decades later, JCI Angeles City Culiat continues to spearhead TTKD, which has grown into the largest street dance party in the country. This annual event has garnered JCI prestigious recognition, including the Best Civic Involvement Program award.
Through their dedicated efforts, these chapters not only provide immediate benefits to their communities but also inspire future leaders to take action, contributing to a culture of active citizenship and impactful service.
JCI Manila and JCI Angeles City Culiat are ready to embrace their role in such a prestigious event after 28 years, following the historic 1998 conference held in the Philippines. Opportunities like this highlight the hospitality and potential of Filipinos on a global scale, reinforcing the country’s position as a hub for leadership and innovation.
The conference will be held at the Clark Freeport Zone, Pampanga, in partnership with the Clark Development Corporation. Recognized as a premier MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conventions, Exhibitions) destination in the Philippines, Clark offers world-class facilities and an ideal setting for international gatherings.
JCI Philippines members are encouraged to attend and engage in this pivotal event. Stay tuned for further information.
