PhilBex: Foundation of progress

The last couple of years saw the resilience of the Visayan region shine through. Against all odds, it continues to emerge as one of the country’s most promising economic force. In particular, the region’s construction industry has been experiencing unprecedented growth—embodying hope and unity as it strives to build toward a brighter future for its people.

Taking i nspiration from the intrinsic value of solidarity, Worldbex Services International announced the return of the 13th Philippine Building and Construction Exposition Cebu, or simply Philbex Cebu, on Sept. 15 to 18 at the SM City Cebu Trade Hall. Heralding the theme of “Uniting Strong Foundations,” this year’s Philbex Cebu will be all about uniting the best and brightest of the region’s construction and building industry for a groundbreaking trade exposition.

Aiming to address the needs of building and construction enthusiasts and professionals alike, this year’s Philbex Cebu will encompass a total of 1,158 square meters of exhibition space to showcase the most extensive range of product and service presentations from local and international exhibitors alike. To date, 100 participating companies are expected to take part in the four-day expo while an estimate of 25,000 visitors are anticipated to attend.

In line with its thrust to unite the movers and shakers of the trade, taking center stage at this year’s show are the pillars of the industry who have, in their own ways, shaped the landscape of Philippine construction and design into the dynamic and prolific sector that it is today.

A compelling lineup of event highlights such as the Furniture Gallery, which will showcase new and innovative furniture as helmed by Murillo’s Furniture and the Architect’s Gallery, will turn the spotlight on Cebu’s most influential architects.
