Cebu, Philippines – Spearheaded by the Cebu Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCCI) the Cebu Business Month (CBM) 2025 continues its legacy as a key driver of Cebu’s journey towards global competitiveness. From its humble beginnings as “Cebu Business Day” in 1991 and evolving into “Cebu Business Week,” CBM was officially declared “Cebu Business Month” by former President Fidel V. Ramos in 1996 through Presidential Proclamation No. 748.
As it celebrates its 29th year, CBM 2025 proudly carries the theme Padayon Cebu, focusing on resilience, growth, and innovation across industries. This year, CBM will span three months, bringing together business leaders, entrepreneurs, and key stakeholders to foster collaboration, drive global competitiveness, and accelerate the success of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in an ever-evolving market.
