SAN PABLO CITY, Philippines — The City Tourism Office recently conducted a special sampler tour for officers of the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI) – San Pablo Chapter, in preparation for the 2nd PCCI San Pablo Game Fowl, Pets, and Livestock Expo happening on November 28–29, 2025 at the San Pablo City Convention Center.

The Expo is expected to draw an estimated 6,000 visitors to the city—participants who are not only attending the trade fair but are also eager to explore San Pablo’s vibrant arts, heritage, and culinary experiences.

The tour featured samples of three guided routes: the San Pablo Art Circuit, the Heritage Architecture Circuit, and the Culinary Circuit—with stops at Lakehouse Art Gallery & Suites, Casa San Pablo’s Native Cooking Tour and Art Gallery, the San Pablo Heritage Zone, Ben’s Halo-Halo, and the Fule-Malvar Mansion Heritage Center for Culture and Arts. These circuits will be among the official offerings for Expo guests, with additional recommendations for independent travelers.

According to Ricky Tan, Head of PCCI’s Committee on Public Relations and lead organizer of the Expo,

“We really enjoyed the tour. More people from San Pablo should experience these tours—it makes us proud to be from San Pablo.”

Niela Medina, Head of the PCCI Tourism Committee, added, “The offerings will surely be enjoyed by our guests. The partnership with the Tourism Office gives visitors a chance to experience San Pablo beyond the trade halls.”

Tourism Officer for Special Projects An Mercado Alcantara expressed her gratitude to PCCI for its strong partnership with the City Tourism Office:

“This collaboration shows what can happen when government and business work hand in hand—creating opportunities for local enterprises, enriching visitor experiences, and strengthening pride of place. Together, we’re putting San Pablo on the map as a city of culture, creativity, and community.”

With local hotels, cafés, and tourism establishments now preparing to host thousands of guests, the partnership between PCCI and the City Tourism Office marks a bold and forward-looking step toward positioning San Pablo as a premier destination for trade, travel, and creative tourism.
