 Having won the bid to host the MICECON 2024 at the Clark Freeport Zone in Pampanga, Clark Development Corporation (CDC) formally sealed its partnership with the Tourism Promotions Board (TPB) Philippines through the signing of a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) to stage the largest gathering of Meetings, Incentive Travel, Conventions, and Exhibitions (MICE) professionals in the country next year.



The ceremony was led by TPB Chief Operating Officer Maria Margarita Montemayor Nograles and CDC President & Chief Executive Officer Agnes VST Devanadera. They were joined by other key officials including TPB Deputy COO for Corporate Affairs Atty. Vince Manuel, CDC Vice President for Business Development and Business Enhancement Group Atty. Noelle Mina Meneses, CDC Tourism & Promotions Division Officer-in-Charge Elenita S. Lorenzo and CDC Legal Affairs Group Officer-in-Charge Atty. Anna Gayle T. Barin.


As the Metro Clark area prepares to host the conference for the second time since 2014, MICECON 2024 will provide an opportunity for Clark and its adjacent communities to showcase again the areas’ rich history, culture, and heritage to local and global MICE delegates. 


The event is also envisioned to usher in new investments and business opportunities that will contribute significantly to the city’s economic growth.


Clark is set to highlight its strengths as a first-rate destination to host world-class conferences, with its modern infrastructure facilities, beautiful attractions and strategic location at the heart of growing markets in Asia Pacific that make it attractive for meetings, business transactions and hosting events. There are popular international hotel chains with modern, large capacity rooms, access to several Industrial and Technology Parks within the zone, and Clark International Airport (CIA), a state-of-the-art premier gateway to the Philippines offering a seamless experience for all types of travelers.


With its dynamic efforts to be the country’s first smart, resilient and sustainable city, Clark will soon also open the Malolos-Clark Railway in 2025, which is designed to streamline travel between Clark in northern Pampanga province and Manila via high-speed train. This will not only cut regular commuting time but also contribute to the lowering of greenhouse gas emissions by more than 60,000 tons annually.


Devanadera thanked the TPB for choosing Clark as the official host of the MICECON 2024 and expressed optimism in hosting the event.


“We are thrilled to have been given the opportunity to showcase the unique features, rich culture, and state-of-the-art facilities of Clark and its adjacent communities. This event will undoubtedly help to solidify Clark's position as a premier and highly sought-after destination for investments and tourism in the Asia Pacific Region. We look forward to demonstrating the warmth and hospitality of the Metro Clark area, and to providing attendees with an unforgettable experience,” she said. 


“Holding MICECON next year at Clark will further cement the Philippines' standing as a top MICE destination in Asia. With the city’s stunning natural landscapes, iconic and historical destinations and modern infrastructure projects with great innovation and sustainability initiatives, we will be able to draw in more tourists and investments, and contribute to the reinvigoration and revitalization of the tourism industry,” said TPB COO Nograles.


To be held on July 10 to 12, 2024, MICECON 2024 is a must-see event to discover and experience the wonders of Clark, network with other MICE players and strengthen ties with local and international stakeholders.

The shrine is home to the 3rd tallest statue of the image of Jesus Christ in Asia and 5th tallest in the world measuring 360 feet above sea level. It is said to the be tallest in the Philippines and the sculpture was designed to depict Jesus Christ stoping incoming typhoons heading towards the province.





St. Martin de Tours Church in Dumalag



Dumalag's first church and monastery was built between 1600 and 1720 and the parish was dedicated to Saint Martin, Bishop of Tours. A five-story bell tower towered majestically on the left side of the church. The design of the church is shaped like a cross.







Christ the Redeemer in Ivisan



A five-storey tall white-painted replica of the world’s largest Art Deco statue in Rio de Janeiro. Heading to this site only takes a short hike. You don't need to go far to see an image of the Christ the Redeemer.



Healing Chapel at Meditation Hills in Sapian 



A 5-hectare hilly and forested property that is home to the site of the Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes. The Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes is located at the top of a hill, and the healing chapel is located at its foot. The site also features different kinds of saints that pilgrims can explore and pray while climbing its stairs.





In conclusion, Capiz's churches and pilgrimage sites are not only significant religious landmarks but also cultural treasures that showcase the province's rich history and architectural heritage. Whether you're a devout Catholic or a curious traveler, these churches and pilgrimage sites are definitely worth a visit.

The abundance of our OFWs in this region provides many possibilities for Middle Easterners to learn more about the Philippines and its must-visit attractions,” said TPB Chief Operating Officer Maria Margarita Montemayor Nograles. 





The Philippine delegation is headed by Department of Tourism (DOT) Undersecretary Shereen Gail Uy-Pamintuan, TPB’s Chief Operating Officer Maria Margarita Montemayor Nograles, together with DOT Region III, Philippine Retirement Authority, and lawmaker representatives from Batangas, Bohol, Cebu, Quezon City, and Surigao del Norte.
