MAKATI CITY - Lito Villanueva, Founding Chairman of FinTech Alliance Philippines, has been inducted as a member of the Department of Trade and Industry’s Supply Chain and Logistics Group (DTI-SCLG). Villanueva took his oath joining 32 other industry leaders tapped to provide advisory support aimed at improving the quality, affordability and reliability of the country’s logistics sector, particularly for micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) and businesses in remote areas.
He was selected by the SCLG in recognition of his contributions to the growth of the Philippine fintech and digital finance ecosystem. As Founding Chairman of FinTech Alliance PH, the country’s largest and premier digital industry association, Villanueva represents over 140
corporate members that collectively account for more than 95% of the nation’s digital retail financial transaction volume. Under his leadership, the Alliance has been instrumental in advancing policy dialogue, industry standards, and innovation partnerships that accelerate inclusive digital transformation.
The DTI-SCLG serves as a public-private advisory body supporting national efforts to strengthen supply chain systems amid the continued expansion of trade and digital commerce. DTI Secretary Ma. Cristina A. Roque and Undersecretary Mary Jean T. Pacheco led the induction ceremony.
Villanueva said closer collaboration between digital finance and logistics stakeholders will help businesses participate more competitively in global trade.
“As Founding Chairman of FinTech Alliance Philippines, I believe that integrating digital finance solutions into supply chain ecosystems is critical to empowering MSMEs and enabling them to scale beyond borders.
Stronger alignment between fintech and logistics will unlock faster payments, improved liquidity, and greater transparency across the value chain,” Villanueva said. “We thank the DTI-SCLG for the trust and recognition. The FinTech Alliance stands ready to work with both government and industry partners to help Filipino enterprises leverage digital innovation as a competitive advantage in the global supply chain,” Villanueva added.
