Marc Gorospe, PMP (PMI Philippines Chapter - President)

As we look back on 2025, one thing stands out above everything else: the strength of our community.


This year gave us so much to celebrate. We launched the PMI Philippines Cebu Branch, brought the Global Summit Series and Leadership Institute Meeting to Asia for the first time, deepened our nationwide partnership with Philconstruct, launched our PMI PH Newsletter, co-hosted the International Agile Symposium, rolled out new professional development programs (Risk Management in Projects and Foundations of IT Project Management), welcomed members through Rocketfuel, and grew our digital presence like never before.


These milestones were possible because of you, our volunteers, members, partners, clients, sponsors, and the entire project management community. Your dedication made this one of our most impactful years yet!

But 2025 was not only about our victories. It was also a year that tested many of us in our work, personal lives, and the communities we care about. Our Cebu community, along with other affected areas, suffered devastation from earthquakes and typhoons. And yet, even in difficulty, we saw project managers offering support, checking in on colleagues, and showing up with quiet courage.


In every high and every low, our PMI Philippines community chose resilience, compassion, and unity.


As we prepare for 2026, we move forward with hope.

Next year brings the National Symposium on Project Management in Cebu, expanded programs through Philconstruct, the launch of our AI Project Management course, and a milestone celebration — 30 years of the PMI Philippines Chapter. It will be a year of bigger dreams, braver conversations, and deeper purpose.

Let’s continue lifting each other, learning together, and advancing project management in the service of our nation.


Thank you for being part of this remarkable journey. May this season bring peace, joy, and hope to you and your loved ones.


Maligayang Pasko at Manigong Bagong Taon, PMI Philippines!
