MANILA, Philippines - The Chamber of Real Estate & Builders’ Associations, Inc. (CREBA) will hold its first international convention in the island-city of Macau on Oct. 25-27 with the theme “Go Global with CREBA.”

Florentino S. Dulalia Jr., CREBA national president, said that for the last 18 years of its 37-year history, CREBA has been holding an annual national convention every October, declared by government as the national housing month. The past conventions had been attended by some 500 industry stakeholders and policy-makers from all over the country.

Cognizant of the pump-priming effects of tourism, housing, infrastructure and real estate construction and development, the chamber has chosen Macau, known as the “Las Vegas of Asia,” as venue of this year’s confab, where a CREBA chapter is set to rise through the efforts of at least 18 Filipino community associations organized by the CREBA International Foundation.

The event will be held with the support of the 11-country Asia-Pacific Council of the International Real Estate Federation, more popularly known for its French acronym, FIABCI.

Dr. Reynaldo A. Carpio, CREBA executive vice-president and chairman of the convention committee, said events will include a major housing fair for overseas Filipinos; sight-seeing and tour of development models which are products of the world’s best practices; and globally-renowned speakers to share new ideas vital in harnessing business opportunities.
