Avid homebuilders in Cavite now have a new one-stop shop with the recent grand opening of Wilcon Silang, the brand’s fourth branch in the province of Cavite and 43rd in the country. What started as a modest hardware store has grown in leaps and bounds, thanks to the remarkable leadership of Wilcon founder and chairman emeritus William Belo, SEVP-COO Rosemarie Ong, president and CEO Lorraine Belo-Cincochan and EVP and chief product officer Careen Belo.
At the store blessing were Silang, Cavite Mayor Emilia Lourdes Poblete along with loyal suppliers and steadfast friends who, for years, have trusted the company for materials in building, constructing and decorating.
Guests were also reminded that the Wilcon Win-a-Ride promo is still ongoing, giving them the opportunity to win six brand new units of Toyota Fortuner. It was a wonderful afternoon of celebrating all that Wilcon has become and will continue to be.
Wilcon Silang is located at Purok 9, Brgy. Lalaan II, Silang, Cavite. The Win-a-Ride is Back! promo will run until June 30.
Congratulations!
