OKB @ 18: Don't miss the Bicol Regional Trade Fair at SM Megamall on October 2-5,2014

Orgullo Kan Bikol (OKB) is getting bigger every year! Now on its 18th year, the Department of Trade and Industry Region 5 will once again showcase the pride of Bicol and the best products through the OKB Regional Trade Fair on October 2-5, 2014 at Megatrade Hall 2, 5th Level Bldg. B., SM Megamall, Mandaluyong City, Philippines. 

Pandan Vice Mayor Ninfa Namata gave me a durable native bag made by traditional weavers in Pandan, Catanduanes. This is part of their OTOP.

According to the DTI blog, (OKB) 18th edition brings forth the best of their handcrafted products* distinctly hewn by skilled artisans under the National Industry Cluster Capacity Enhancement (NICCEP) program. They will also showcase Bicol's splendid food specialties, finely processed by our local entrepreneurs under our Food Business Development (BIZDEV) program. 

I'm excited to check the Galleria Artisana and Pili Possibilities special settings where the best product development outputs will be showcased. They said that the Bikol Pili G.I. will also be launched in this year's trade fair.
