Philippine Mayor Pushes Forward Legacy Project to Transform City into Convention Capital.
_
The project, a comprehensive development program anchored on international cooperation, is being pursued in partnership with a global consortium of investors and experts from Vietnam, Korea, Japan, Germany, and Spain. The initiative is expected to create modern facilities, sustainable infrastructure, and world-class amenities that will attract both domestic and international conferences, exhibitions, and cultural exchanges.
“The Legacy Project is more than just tourism development,” Mayor Bayron emphasized. “It is about preparing Puerto Princesa to become a global destination for business, culture, and international collaboration. This is a milestone not just for the city but for the entire Philippines.”
As part of the global rollout, the initial presentation of the Legacy Project will take place in Prague, Czech Republic, on October 2,3, and 4 at the Ministry of Trade and Industry. The high-level event will be attended by government officials, business leaders, and representatives from participating countries. The Philippine delegation will include senior officials, with the presence of the Philippine Ambassador to Prague and the Czech Minister of Trade and Industry expected to formally attend the program.

The Prague presentation aims to foster greater cooperation with European investors and other Asian Countries, Korea, Japan, and Vietnam, who have already initiated meetings with the Mayor past few months, ensuring that the project aligns with international standards in sustainability, culture, and economic growth.
With Puerto Princesa already renowned as the home of the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Underground River, the city is poised to build on its reputation as a premier destination for natural wonders by expanding into the global convention and events market.
Analysts see the Legacy Project as a bold move to diversify Puerto Princesa’s economy, generate employment opportunities, and position Palawan as a hub for tourism, business, and diplomacy, Noubikko, CEO of RPConnect said, who was among the calibered financial analysts tapped by Mayor Bayron.
If successful, Mayor Bayron’s initiative could solidify Puerto Princesa’s place on the world map—not only as a paradise for travelers but also as the Philippines’ foremost convention and cultural capital.
