Junior Chamber International (JCI) Philippines, in partnership with JCI Manila and JCI Angeles City Culiat, hosted an exclusive VIP luncheon at the Juulchin Grand Ballroom during the recently concluded 2025 JCI Asia-Pacific Conference in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. The event was designed to build anticipation for the upcoming 2026 JCI World Congress, set to take place in Clark, Pampanga.
The luncheon welcomed over 150 Chief Delegates representing JCI chapters from Asia, Europe, the Americas, and Africa. Distinguished guests included JCI President Keisuke Shimoyamada, Executive Vice President Mark Joseph David, JCI Philippines National President Felix Venson “Thirdy” Chua, and JCI Mongolia National President Munkhbat Chinbat, among others.
“This luncheon was our way of extending a personal invitation to our JCI brothers and sisters across the region. We’re putting together a dynamic program filled with meaningful activities that celebrate leadership, collaboration, and culture. We can’t wait to welcome everyone to Clark come November 2026,” said 2026 JCI World Congress Director, Luis Angelo “LA” Sevilla.
Empowering global connections
The 2026 JCI World Congress is expected to draw over 5,000 delegates from around the world. The event will serve as a platform for young leaders to network, share ideas, and engage in dialogue about global challenges and positive change. It promises to foster unity, business collaboration, and cultural exchange among JCI members worldwide.
With JCI Philippines, JCI Manila, and co-host JCI Angeles City Culiat at the helm, the 2026 congress also seeks to rekindle the energy and legacy of the 1998 JCI World Congress, the last time the Philippines hosted the prestigious event.
Set for November 11-15, 2026, in Clark, Pampanga, the congress marks a significant moment for the Philippines, positioning the country once again as a global hub for youth leadership, innovation, and impact.
