Описание: January 14, 2026 Episode

Get ready for thought-provoking conversations that challenge your views and sharpen your opinions.

Join Atty. Trixie Cruz-Angeles and Relly Fajardo on #TheSpokes as they tackle both sides of today’s most pressing political and governance issues.

As the Philippine government unveils the 2026 national budget, the private sector is decoding whether the fiscal plan prioritizes economic stability or short-term political gains.

Joining us to provide the perspective of the nation’s largest business group is Ferdinand "Perry" Ferrer, President of the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI).

We discuss the business community's reaction to the latest budget signals, the significance of the presidential veto on unprogrammed funds, and the critical need for digital governance to eliminate the hidden costs of corruption.

In this deep dive, President Ferrer reveals why inefficient processes—rather than policy—are the primary drivers of investor caution and how systemic reform is the only way to safeguard MSMEs and national competitiveness. From the "pain process" of reform to the threat of permanent capital flight, we explore whether the 2026 budget truly supports the survival and growth of the Philippine economy.

Watch the full interview to understand the PCCI’s stance on the national budget and the future of Philippine business.
