WORLDBEX 2020:
A Legacy Built on Excellence
The Philippine World Building
and Construction Expo has
certainly come a long way from its
earnest beginnings. Debuted 25 years ago,
WORLDBEX was borne out of the daring
vision of Founding Chairman, Joseph L. Ang
who sought to prove that the Philippines was
indeed ready for topnotch expositions that
can rival its international counterparts.
A Groundbreaking Vision for the Filipino Future
Having spent some time abroad in search for new avenues of economic growth, Ang was inspired by the
various international exhibits and expositions he had attended. This stimulus, coupled by his belief in the
potential and capacity of the country to thrive given the right platform and opportunities, led to his vision
of establishing the first-ever Philippine World Building and Construction Expo.
In 1996, the first-ever WORLDBEX, was held at the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC).
A far cry from the 80-booth running rate of local trade shows at that time, the show was no less than
groundbreaking as it surpassed industry standards with a whopping 156 booths and a significant
percentage of international exhibitors. It is no wonder that the show attracted some 30,000 visitors who
were all eager to take part in the momentous event.
Further attesting to the pioneering appeal of
the show, then President of the Philippines
Fidel V. Ramos, even visited the installment
which then prompted the Malacañang Palace
to declare March 26 to 29, the duration of the
show as “Construction Week”. Presented in
cooperation with the Philippine Institute of
Architects and the Philippine Institute of
Interior Designers, the compelling success of
WORLDBEX 1996 indelibly paved the way for
a perennial tradition of championing
excellence and innovation in the Philippine
construction and design industry.
