As Cebu is celebrated for its rich culinary heritage, the Worldbex Services International (WSI), the leading event organizer in the country, holds the 13th edition of the Cebu Food and Beverages Expo (CEFBEX).
As CEFBEX 2023 unfolds, it promises to captivate, inspire, and ignite fervor for excellence, transcending boundaries and showcasing the finest innovations in food, agriculture, and aquatic resources.
While Cebu City is set to become the epicenter of food innovation in SouthEast Asia, CEFBEX highlights myriad flavors, talents, and innovations in the food and beverage industry. But not just that, because after a three-year hiatus, CEFBEX is back even bigger and better this time.
If you want to know what’s cooking, CEFBEX 2023 is co-located with two other mega expositions—the Philippine Building and Construction Expositions (PHILBEX) and the Cebu Auto Show (CAS). On its own, CEFBEX is already grand. But with PHILBEX Cebu and CAS, it is grander!
An opening ceremony was held on September 14, 2023, spearheaded by WSI Founding Chairman Joseph Ang, BFAR 7 Regional Director Allan Poquita, and DOST 7 Regional Director Engr. Jesus Zamora Jr. This opened the doors to every food, design, and automotive enthusiast on an unforgettable experience that transcends boundaries, celebrates progress, and showcases remarkable advancements in the realms.

Ang said, “Once again, we are happy to bring back Cebu Trio after three years—PHILBEX Cebu, CEFBEX, and CAS in one big day. This remarkable day celebrates the progress of the Philippines in this historic exposition that has no boundaries.”
CEFBEX 2023 brings the “Fully Loaded Flavor” experience to all the Cebuanos! A culinary adventure awaits visitors as they traverse a landscape of flavors, from time-honored traditional recipes passed down through generations to daring culinary experiments. This exposition celebrates the rich tapestry of taste that adorns our palates.
With top chefs, restaurateurs, and food aficionados gathering under one roof, this event is set to tantalize taste buds, inspire gastronomic creativity, and connect businesses with discerning food enthusiasts.
In a collaborative effort with the Department of Agriculture, BFAR and the Cebu Famers’ Market, CEFBEX 2023 aims to shed light on the importance of sustainable agriculture and responsible seafood practices. Guests can explore the significance of local farming, aquaculture and their vital role in the culinary world.
Booths also sell a wide range of organic produce, Filipino side dishes such as shrimp paste (bagoong), fermented fruits (bruo), Danggit, local harvest veggies and many more that will satisfy your Filipino tongue.
