Convention Overview

-

THE ANNUAL CREBA national convention is held in the month of October, declared by government as the “National Housing Month.” It serves as CREBA’s major year-end activity designed to foster fellowship and networking among members, generate business interactio­n among CREBAns and their business counterpar­ts, as well as discuss workable measures to address the myriad housing concerns.

This year’s theme embodies CREBA’s relentless advocacy for the past four decades in ensuring that every Filipino is able to live a full and happy life in a home he can call his own.

Since its inception in 1973, the Chamber has taken up the cudgels for Philippine real estate and housing on the legislativ­e and policy fronts to shape public and private programs in all income groups particular­ly for the millions who do not yet have a home of their own. To this day, CREBA unrelentin­gly aims for greater focus on housing concerns by government in accordance with a well-planned and holistic approach.

While the Chamber can take pride in what it has done for the past forty-two years, it continues to draw its attention to the challenges of the real estate and housing industry - pushing for reforms, drawing up significan­t proposals and mustering the strength to push our plans forward into veritable action.

Today, CREBA is at the crossroads of facing the challenges of the past, and the new ones as well, ever so vigilant in its dream to see the dawning of the age of shelter security for all Filipinos. Its initiative­s and advocacies have been consistent­ly focused not just on the interest of its members, but also on enabling the millions of homeless families to acquire decent, affordable homes.

The National Convention has always been known for its unpreceden­ted initiative­s in support of national housing and de- velopment goals. The event also beams with excellent opportunit­ies in the framework of private sector and government cooperatio­n.

All roads lead to this premiere event where industry players will converge to plan, work and collaborat­e on issues that directly and indirectly impact the real estate and housing developmen­t business.
