Founded by pioneering gas station owners, the General Trias Business Club emerged from shared goals of unity and growth, becoming a vital voice for local entrepreneurs and the city’s evolving business landscape.

The group gained recognition as a trusted partner of the LGU, helping shape local commerce through advocacy, community projects, and responsible business practices

As General Trias grew, membership opened to more industries—professionals, traders, and manufacturers—broadening collaboration and promoting shared learning among business leaders.

The group re-registered as the GTC Businessmen Association, Inc. (GTCBAI), marking its official recognition and continued role in advancing inclusive business growth.

GTCBAI joined city councils such as CPMC, CPOC, and LZBA, becoming a strong partner in governance and advocacy for policies that promote sustainable and responsible commerce.

Amid the pandemic, GTCBAI united members through relief drives and recovery initiatives, reinforcing solidarity and compassion within the local business community.

With new leadership and direction, GTCBAI revitalized programs, expanded training, and deepened civic involvement—continuing its mission to empower entrepreneurs across General Trias.
