The Birth of an Association
The Cebu Contractors Association, Inc. (CCA) traces its roots to the early 1960s, a time when Cebu was experiencing significant growth in infrastructure and business opportunities. Recognizing the need for a unified organization in the construction industry, notable figures such as Oscar Jereza and Engr. Horacio Franco, along with other pioneering engineers like Eli Hubahib, William Liu, Francis Sanchez, Luis Regner, and Peping Pages, came together to form what would later become CCA.
Understanding the vital role of suppliers in the industry, the association also welcomed their participation, with Florian "Nene" Colmenares of Amon Trading serving as its first treasurer.
Despite early challenges, such as difficulties in securing meeting quorums, the association remained steadfast. The turning point came in the early '60s when a cement supply shortage struck Cebu. CCA took a firm stand by presenting a position paper to Cebu Portland Cement Co. (CEPOC), showcasing its strength and unity as an industry force.

Growth and Expansion in the 1970s
By 1974, a younger generation of engineers took leadership, led by Engr. Vicente "Inting" Mancao, who brought renewed energy and commitment to the association. During his tenure, CCA adopted a Constitution and By-Laws, granting the association its legal personality.
Successive leaders like Architect Catalino "Taling" Salazar, Engr. Mario Suson, and Engr. Doroteo "Dodo" Salazar further strengthened the organization. The decade saw challenges such as supply shortages in construction materials, but CCA continuously proved its resilience, ensuring the stability of the industry.
The Passionate 1980s
CCA's influence grew beyond the industry as it actively participated in civic events. In 1980, members contributed to the setup for Pope John Paul II’s visit to Cebu. The association also joined the Sinulog festivities, cementing its role in Cebu’s cultural landscape.
During this time, CCA also gained significant recognition, securing the authority for the renewal and application of contractors' licenses, stabilizing its financial standing, and earning praise from both government and private sectors. Under the leadership of Engr. Nicolas Kalubiran, Engr. Julito Roden, and Engr. Danilo Bacay, the association continued to uphold integrity and quality performance.
Strengthening the Industry in the 1990s
The 1990s brought new challenges, from natural calamities to economic shifts. Under the presidency of Jose Ong, CCA played a key role in disaster response, contributing to rehabilitation efforts after typhoons and earthquakes devastated parts of the country. His leadership earned CCA the Outstanding Civic/Professional Club Award in the field of Humanitarian Service.
Engr. Peter Dy continued this momentum, spearheading initiatives such as the Heavy Equipment Training Center in partnership with Don Bosco Technical High School and the Japan International Cooperation Agency. His successor, Engr. Willy Go, reinforced industry education by organizing strategic management courses and hosting the ASEAN Construction Symposium.

Entering the New Millennium
With the dawn of the 2000s, CCA expanded its reach beyond industry concerns to community involvement. Engr. Pericles "Ricky" Dakay led efforts in fundraising, resulting in the construction of the CCA headquarters. The association also engaged in social responsibility projects, such as assisting the Juvenile Detention Center for Street Children.
Engr. Edwin Salazar faced challenges with fluctuating cement prices and successfully mediated discussions with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) to stabilize costs. He also spearheaded the revival of the Regional Skills Training Facility at Don Bosco to address labor shortages.
Engr. George Hong prioritized environmental and civic projects, leading the construction of a record-breaking 6,400-seater bleacher along the Sinulog grand parade route and initiating CCA’s first Coastal Cleanup Project.
Continuing the Legacy
Through the leadership of Charles Sy, Engr. Peter Paul Dy Jr., and succeeding presidents, CCA continued to advocate for industry development. Collaborations with the DTI, TESDA, and other institutions strengthened training programs for construction workers, ensuring that the local workforce remains competitive.
CCA’s commitment to excellence and service remains unwavering. From its humble beginnings to its present-day stature, the association continues to uphold its vision of fostering unity, innovation, and progress within Cebu’s construction industry.
