Suiseki World

There is excitement all over the country
brought about by the holiday spirit and the
ongoing bonsai and suiseki exhibitions.
PBSI has come a long way since its humble
Pemphis acidula (Bantigue) beginnings in 1973, continuously spreading its
104cm, Semi Cascade, mission and vision from North to South, East
From the collection of and West of the archipelago.
Alfredo Manarang The organization’s grand culminating
activity-the annual PBSI National Exhibition
& Competition with over three hundred trees
and stones on show-is the highlight anticipated
by members and the curious public. Miniature
gems arrive by land,sea and air, carefully crated
to preserve their sublime charms.
This amazing scene plays out in 2016 on
a bigger stage as the Phil. Bonsai Society and
the Natural Stone Society of the Philippines
host the BCI Convention and Exhibition 2016
Philippines. The international event isn’t just
a convention-it is a celebration of the art of
bonsai and suiseki. It also offers a glimpse at
our country’s unique culture and trademark
hospitality that welcomes people with open
hearts and friendly smiles.
A post Convention Tour of Palawan is being
planned, so delegates can relax and take in the
captivating surrounds of a destination that was
voted as “World’s best island” by Conde Naste
Traveler for a second year in a row.
We would love to share this experience with
you, please come and join us.
