PCCI-Iloilo stages Iloilo’s biggest trade fair this Dinagyang 2022

The Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry-Iloilo Chapter is taking trade fair to the next level as it stages the biggest business expo here on January 17-23, 2022.

To be held back-to-back at the Festive Walk Iloilo and SM City Iloilo, the Dinagyang 2022 Iloilo Business Expo (ILOBEX) gathered close to 100 exhibitors showcasing various products from local delicacies, fresh produce, garments, accessories, native products, and a lot more.


“We are celebrating Dinagyang Festival in a more meaningful way this year. As part of our thrust of helping Ilonggo MSMEs bounce back, we are holding the ILOBEX. This is a good venue for our local entrepreneurs to showcase their products and connect with their fellow MSMEs to widen their network,” said PCCI-Iloilo Chapter President Engr. Fulbert Woo.


“It is undeniable that the pandemic has affected the business industry, most especially our MSMEs. That is why we are very delighted that ILOBEX has become possible as it also means that our economy is also flourishing once again,” Woo added.

With ILOBEX, we are giving them the stage and the spotlight to reach their target consumers,” PCCI-Iloilo Chairman Dr. Sandra Gomez noted.


Dinagyang 2022 ILOBEX was made possible in partnership with the Iloilo City Government, Iloilo Provincial Government, Department of Tourism Western Visayas, Department of Agriculture-Region VI, and Iloilo Festivals Foundation, Inc.

The area around the town of Bingawan, the edge of the central portion of the province is where it ends and the town of Tapaz, Capiz province begins and is very much another unsung corner of Iloilo with warm, friendly, welcoming people. Bingawan has some rich farming land and farming is at the heart of its village life. The landscapes are gorgeous here; with gentle pastures, to the high mountains.

St. Joseph Chapel at Festive Walk Iloilo's The Deck

While most malls around the country host Sunday masses in some obscure hallway filled with plastic chairs with a makeshift altar, some malls have built niches or transformed unused spaces into places of worship. And Ilonggos should be proud that one of the newest malls in Iloilo City has actually a chapel located in a prime spot and one that boasts both beauty and serenity.  The St. Joseph Chapel at Festive Walk Iloilo is located in one of its al fresco areas known as The Deck located  at the 3rd level. While this open air area also has a mini plaza and dog park (and soon - cafes and restaurants) it is the chapel that highlights this al fresco part of the mall. Eucharistic mass services are held every Sunday at 11am while first Friday masses at 5pm.  It is open to the public everyday for personal moments of silence and solitude. The Deck and everything in it is open from 10am to 10pm with the entrance located betwee...
