The Likhang Filipino Exhibition Halls have finally reopened, unveiling a refreshed, permanent, and year-round space that celebrates local craftsmanshipand creativity across design, fashion, food, and the arts.
The reopening, led by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and First Lady Louise Araneta-Marcos on Jan. 15, 2026, marks the restoration of the former PhilTrade Center. The move highlights the government’s commitment to supporting homegrown brands and the country’s creative industries as they expand their presence and attract global markets.
Designed as both a showroom and a retail space, the Likhang Filipino Exhibition Halls brings together the best of local home and lifestyle pieces,fashion and accessories, traditional crafts, food and beverage, and wellness products all in one location. All participating brands are regular exhibitors at the Center for International Trade Expositions and Missions (CITEM)’s flagship short-term trade shows, such as Manila FAME and IFEX Philippines.
The venue is set to welcome international buyers, tourists, and visiting ASEAN delegations, while also inviting locals to engage and support Filipino-made designs, products, and crafts — positioning the space as a cultural showcase and marketplace for Filipino creativity.
The Likhang Filipino Exhibition Halls are open to the public for free and will be open from Tuesdays to Sundays from 10 AM to 7 PM.
