It is truly a humbling achievement to be part of Filipino homeowners and builders' journey in making their dream homes and projects into reality," said Wilcon Depot Founder and Chairman Emeritus William T. Belo on recalling how the company started and grew.

Wilcon aims to build its stores and be part of the dynamic and growing key cities and localities in the country. It currently houses 16 branches in Metro Manila while 44 of its stores are spread in key cities and municipalities of Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.
