Ambassador and Madame Endo attend the Re-Opening of the PICC

On 30 September 2025, Ambassador ENDO Kazuya, along with Madame ENDO Akiko, attended the Re-Opening of the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC) at the PICC Complex. Also gracing the event were H.E. President Ferdinand Marcos, Jr. and First Lady Louise Araneta-Marcos.

The PICC, as Asia’s first international convention center, has witnessed countless milestones of Filipinos across decades and will now re-open to the public in October 2025. Over the past year, it had undergone renovations in preparation for the Philippines’ hosting of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Summit in 2026. Declared a National Cultural Treasure in 2022, the PICC will also mark its 50th anniversary next year as it continues to stand as a marvel of Filipino architectural excellence.
