About the Likhang Filipino Exhibition Halls
Philippine Products, Global Standard
A Dynamic Creative Hub
Likhang Filipino is the Philippines’ premier year-round showroom, marketplace, and incubation hub for world-class, Philippine-made products. It serves as a national “show-and-sell” platform that showcases a carefully curated selection of culturally grounded, export-quality products across priority industries, including fashion, textiles and accessories, furniture and lighting, home décor, gifts and holiday décor, food, health, and wellness.
Designed as a dynamic creative hub celebrating Filipino craftsmanship and design excellence, Likhang Filipino showcases the depth, diversity, and excellence of Filipino creativity, where cultural heritage meets contemporary design and innovation, through its six curated galleries. It provides visitors, buyers, tourists, and industry partners with a comprehensive view of the country’s globally competitive creative industries.
Likhang Filipino is specially curated to support the Philippines’ chairship of the ASEAN Summit in 2026, serving as a key platform for showcasing the country’s creative industries, export capabilities, and cultural identity to regional and international partners.
Supported By
Operated by the Center for International Trade Expositions and Missions (CITEM), the export promotion arm of the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), Likhang Filipino is supported by the Office of the President under His Excellency President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. and First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos. This reflects the national government’s commitment to strengthening Filipino enterprises, promoting creative industries, and advancing global competitiveness.
Rebirth of a Legacy
Likhang Filipino is also considered a rebirth of the PhilTrade Center, which was launched in 1979 under the leadership of former First Lady Imelda R. Marcos. The PhilTrade Center housed the country’s top export products, including furniture and furnishings, gifts, toys, houseware, apparel, fashion, accessories, food, and industrial goods, through the support of the then Ministry of Trade and Industry.
