Boracay Central, a nature-inspired lifestyle mall rooted in Filipino identity, proudly participated as co-organizer and sponsor of the 2025 Society of Filipino Foresters, Inc. (SFFI) National Conference held at the Iloilo Convention Center. The three-day event brought together over 1,400 forestry professionals, environmental advocates, and design leaders to advance the national dialogue on wood self-sufficiency, biodiversity conservation, and sustainable development.
As a destination that blends commerce, culture, and ecological consciousness, Boracay Central’s involvement reflects its commitment to building spaces that honor both people and planet. Through curated exhibits, collaborative programming, and design-forward storytelling, the mall showcased how retail environments can serve as platforms for environmental education and community engagement.
“Our vision has always been to create spaces that feel distinctly Filipino—where nature, design, and identity converge,” said a spokesperson from Boracay Central. “Partnering with SFFI allows us to deepen that mission, supporting the forestry profession while inspiring more sustainable practices across industries.”
The conference featured keynote speeches, technical sessions, and interactive exhibits focused on forest management, climate resilience, and the role of local communities in conservation. Boracay Central’s presence highlighted the potential of retail and hospitality developments to contribute meaningfully to these efforts—not just through green architecture, but through storytelling, sourcing, and guest experience.
As Boracay Central continues to evolve as a coastal hub for lifestyle, leisure, and local pride, its participation in SFFI 2025 marks a milestone in its journey toward becoming a model for sustainable, culturally resonant development in the Philippines.
