The Iloilo Convention Center (ICC) is a state-of-the-art convention center in the Iloilo Business Park in Mandurriao, Iloilo City,
Philippines which is expected to be completed in 2015 in time for the APEC 2015
hosting. It is built on a 1.7-hectare of lot in the district of Mandurriao
donated by the Megaworld Corp.[1] The Tourism Infrastructure and
Enterprise Zone Authority allocated P200 million for the construction of the
convention center, while another P250 million was sourced from the Priority
Development Assistance Fund of Senator Franklin Drilon.[2]
The state-of-the-art convention center
designed by architect William Coscoluella is constructed based on a design
inspired by Iloilo’s Dinagyang and Paraw Regatta festivals. It is a two-storey
structure with a total floor area of 11,832 square meters. The main hall on the
ground floor has a 3,700-seat capacity and 500-seat function rooms on the
second floor. A rooftop of 1,500 sqm is available for outdoor functions.[3]
As of
the moment, ICC is now 80% complete and is expected to hold side meetings of
the APEC summit in October this year.
