CITEM@3O Through its 30 years of existence, The Center for International Trade Expositions and Missions has become synonymous with design and style.

It has pioneered several industry programs for export design and development, such as the “Best in the World” program and “Movement 8”, leading to the global recognition of the Philippines as “The Milan of Asia”.

CITEM is the proud owner and organizer of two signature events and two institutional programs: Manila FAME (design driven sector), International Food Exhibition or IFEX Philippines (food sector), Design Week Philippines (celebration of design), and Hall One (permanent showroom for export).

Harnessing Artisanal Talent for Progress Food Philippines Textures and Flavors

The Philippines’ wealth in artisanal talent is a competitive advantage of the country. The innate creativity of the Filipino people, borne out of diverse cultures and history, is now being nurtured and stimulated by the government through design education, intellectual property protection, and the promotion of the local design industry.

In a region known to lead the market in global food production, the Philippines stands out as Asia’s most exciting food business destination with its strategic location as the Gateway to Asia.

It is a robust, dynamic, and growing market for imported food and beverage. Its large and talented workforce is gifted with the ability to manufacture high-quality, high-value products out of local and imported raw materials for differentiated or niche-markets.

As the country’s export marketing authority, the Center for International Trade Expositions and Missions (CITEM), takes on the role as the purveyor of Philippine design through Manila FAME and Design Week Philippines.

Manila FAME, "The Design and Lifestyle Event", is Asia's premier sourcing show for home, holiday décor, and fashion, bringing together under one roof, a collection of furniture and furnishings, holiday décor, gifts, and fashion wearables that reflect the dynamic fusion of Philippine culture and enterprise.

CITEM is strengthening the country’s emerging role as a regional staging area for foreign food manufacturers seeking access to the lucrative East and Southeast Asian food markets through IFEX Philippines, its signature food event. Since 2004, the show has provided a key platform for food and beverage companies to promote their products globally and to establish and strengthen links with both international and local trade buyers.

CITEM has also taken the lead in the launch of Design Week Philippines, a celebration of DESIGN through programs and events that foster creativity among Filipinos and strengthen the country's positioning as Asia's Design Destination. Proclamation No. 277 signed

by President Benigno S. Aquino III declares the third week of March and October each year as Design Week Philippines.

As a biennial event starting in 2013, IFEX is positioning the Philippines as the premier international sourcing hub for the finest ethnic Asian food, ingredients, and raw materials.

With these efforts to harness the highest standards of creativity and productivity among Filipinos, the Philippines will ultimately reach its dream of being second to none as Asia's Design Destination.

The Philippine fashion accessories industry grew out of Cebu’s shellcraft business in 1960s when shell-based products and accessories were exported from the province.

After the simple stringed-shell necklaces fad died down in the early 1980s, manufacturers developed new designs, explored other materials like semi-precious stones, and expanded product lines to earrings, rings, brooches, bags, and hair accessories.

WEAVES OF THE PHILIPPINES Reflective of the Philippines’ rich culture, indigenous fabrics like the T’nalak of South Cotabato, Inabel of Ilocos, Balud of Lanao, and Hablon of Iloilo showcase distinctive weaving techniques that are unique to their origin and have been passed on from generations. The appeal of hand-woven Filipino fabrics is carried on to modern times as accents on fashion products ranging from apparel to minaudières.

SKILLED PRECISION Prior to the arrival of Spanish colonizers, early Filipinos were skilled in plying gold into jewelry, ornaments, dagger handles, and even tooth plating, which were evident in the artifacts found in

excavations in Batangas, Butuan, Mindoro, Samar, and Surigao. The Filipino jewelry artisans’ precision in craftsmanship has earned the admiration of international designers who now employ them to create customized pieces for luxury brands.

ECO–CHIC

Manufacturers of Philippine costume jewelry have adapted the eco-fashion trend even before the eco-friendly movement became popular globally.

For over 30 years now, “green jewelry” has been produced in Cebu from sustainable, natural, and biodegradable materials like shell, leather, seeds, natural fiber, and wood.

The Philippine-made eco-chic pieces have found their way to international fashion houses in the United States, Japan, and Europe.

SHELLCRAFT As an archipelago surrounded by rich marine life, Filipino traders in the southern provinces of Cebu and Zamboanga were among the first to benefit from its range of ornamental shells harvested from the Philippines’ tropical waters.

Collections of shellcraft in dynamic patterns and shapes have been transformed into trendsetting vases, chandeliers, accent pieces, and even countertops and wall paneling.

WOODCRAFT The Filipino's mastery in woodwork is expressed in colonial style furniture pieces that reflect Hispanic and American influences combined with contemporary technique and vivacity in design.

Skilled craftsmen, who are found mostly in Manila, and in the provinces of Pampanga and Cebu; answer the constant demand for top-of-the-line Philippine furniture.
