Rosemarie Bosch-Ong, SEVP- COO of Wilcon Depot, shares profound insights about the Retail Industry’s outlook in the Philippines as a key industry speaker at Meralco Enterprise Commercial & Conglomerate on October 4, 2023, at the Meralco Lopez Building, Pasig City, and 2023 Retail Asia Forum Manila at the Shangri La The Fort, Taguig on October 5. Her participation at both events represents a significant opportunity for businesses and individuals to gain key insights and a competitive edge in the dynamic world of retail.
These engagements serve as a unique platform for industry leaders, entrepreneurs, and decision-makers to gain a comprehensive understanding of the retail landscape and the most pressing issues and trends shaping the future of the retail industry in Asia. Meralco Enterprise Commercial & Conglomerate – Key Industry Expert Engagement was hosted by Meralco, the largest private sector electric distribution utility company in the Philippines, committed to providing reliable and affordable energy, while the 2023 Retail Asia Forum Manila is presented by Charlton Media Group’s Retail Asia, the industry magazine serving Asia’s dynamic retail industry.
Bosch-Ong commenced her presentation with the introduction of the Philippine Retailers Association, a prominent organization of which she had previously served as President and now as the current Chairwoman. PRA stands as the paramount national organization representing the “Pulse and Voice of the Philippine Retail”.
For the year 2023, the Retail Industry’s outlook in the Philippines centers on the significant impact brought by COVID-19 pandemic. As the Philippines is now making progress toward recovery, the industry continues to face several difficulties that necessitate smart and innovative approaches. “The key to progressing is taking that initial step” – Martin Luther King Jr., Bosch – Ong connects this quote to how Wilcon Depot bounces back from unprecedented changes in the retail sector.
