|June 09, 2025
Cebu is set to reinforce its status as a regional construction and innovation hub as it hosts the 14th edition of PHILCONSTRUCT Visayas, the country's premier industry trade event, from June 19 to 21, 2025.
Organizers see the exhibition as a key driver of decentralized growth in the Philippine construction sector, aligning with broader national efforts to stimulate regional economies.
Unveiled at the Waterfront Hotel in Lahug on Wednesday, June 4, 2025, the event will occupy 6,000 square meters of exhibition space and feature more than 300 brands from both domestic and international markets.
Backed by the Philippine Constructors Association (PCA), in partnership with the Cebu Contractors Association (CCA) and event manager Philconstruct Events, Exhibitions and Conference Corp. (PEECC), the trade show is expected to attract over 7,000 professionals from across the infrastructure value chain.
The work we do today shapes the resilience of our industry tomorrow, said PCA President Engr. Jerry Pancho. He pointed to the organization's Industry 2030 Roadmap a policy and strategy framework that centers on regional development, sustainable construction practices, and workforce upskilling.
The momentum behind Cebu as a strategic player in the national construction landscape is gaining institutional support.
Cebu is more than a host city it is a critical innovation node, said CCA Vice President for Internal Affairs Engr. Kevin Lim.
