The biggest and most anticipated construction trade show series in the country happened on 3-6 November 2022, as PHILCONSTRUCT Manila held the 2022 Hybrid Edition simultaneously at two locations — the SMX Convention Center Manila within the SM Mall of Asia Complex and the World Trade Center Manila. The event could also be accessed virtually through the VX Events platform.

PHILCONSTRUCT completed three regional rounds before to its Manila leg: PHILCONSTRUCT Luzon was staged in Clark, Pampanga last June; PHILCONSTRUCT Visayas in Cebu last July; and PHILCONSTRUCT Mindanao in Davao last September—all in hybrid editions for the first time.

"Through the years, PHILCONSTRUCT Manila has opened different opportunities for the construction sector and has led to several successful projects within the country and abroad," said Engr. Ronaldo "Junn" Elepano, chairman of Philconstruct 2022 Hybrid Series, the organizing team of the Philippines Constructors Association and the main organizer of PHILCONSTRUCT Manila 2022 Hybrid Edition.

"Our goal is to connect people in the building and construction industry, making this an annual gathering for new discoveries, learnings, and opportunities," he added. Entrance to PHILCONSTRUCT 2022 was free.

The event showcased the biggest assembly of brands and products on display at both physical venues, including construction materials, air conditioning systems, heavy equipment and software, home appliances and kitchenware, refrigerants, power tools, water pumps, and electric wirings.

The PHILCONSTRUCT Manila 2022 Hybrid Edition facilitated opportunities to meet and network with the industry's best brands and suppliers in the construction industry, such as Pacific Paint (Boysen) Philippines, Holcim Philippines, Wilcon Depot, Inframachineries Corporation, Samsung Electronics Philippines, Ingco Philippines, Procore, and many more.

The four-day trade show also featured several learning sessions and seminars, among them a technical symposium ​by the Philippine Society of Master Plumbers and Plumbing EngineersInc., a seminar on "Shell Construction and Road Integrated Solutions for the Decarbonization of the Construction Sector" by Pilipinas Shell Petroleum Corporation, a product presentation on "Digital [R]Evolution in the Infrastructure Industry"  by Bentley Education, and a seminar on "Basic Principles of Formwork and Falsework" by the Association of Carriers and Equipment Lessors.

Estilo De Vida, the annual inter-school interior design competition, was also staged at  the event. The competition has grown into an industry staple, gathering the most promising student designers in a show of creativity, passion, and ingenuity.

The PHILCONSTRUCT Manila 2022 Hybrid Edition was supported by the organizers' other partner organizations, including the Philippine Society of Ventilating, Airconditioning, and Refrigerating Engineers and the Association of Carriers and Equipment Lessors.

"The show had over 1,000 booths and 500 equipment on display — the most massive event we have had to date," said Elepano.
