Meanwhile in the discussion, some trending issues and concern floated, some of which are: the interest of millennials or children in the present millennium – they have the tendency to disregard their business empire when their parents are gone; another is while it was reported by Pampanga Chamber that by next year, the 4^th SM Mall will rise in Pampanga, being the only province in the country with the most number of SM Malls, they fear the lack of employees to qualify in the different positions because of “mismatching” and breach training.

The business tycoons also unanimously admitted that topping the concerns of employees nowadays is the stability of the company rather than their salary. Hence, in the meeting, they agreed to conduct further studies in the dynamics of the different industries in relation to the different factors that hamper businesses and chamber activities.
