The long-term vision of “A Home for Every Filipino” being advocated by the Chamber of Real Estate and Builders’ Associations Inc. (CREBA) has gained ground and support from government and industry icons.
Senator JV Ejercito, chairman of the Senate Committee on Housing, Urban Development and Resettlements, will lead government officials who will grace the three-day CREBA national convention and housing expo slated from September 26 to 28, 2023 at the SMX Mall of Asia and Conrad Hotel Manila.
The event is expected to draw the attendance of most of the major real estate industry players from all over the country as the group celebrates its 50th founding anniversary. CREBA is touted as the ‘oldest and largest’ umbrella advocacy group in the housing sector.

There will be free seminars on housing for OFWs, seafarers, teachers, employees and uniformed personnel as well as CPD sessions and accreditation for real estate brokers and salespersons.
Day 1 of the convention will focus on unlocking investments and affordable home financing.
Day 2 will cover topics and expert speakers on building the future through infrastructure innovations and green practices.
The culminating day on September 28 will tackle sustainable solutions by navigating through global best practices.
