ANGELES CITY, Pampanga, Sept 20 (PIA) -- A total of 24 Central Luzon-based micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) will be joining the upcoming One Town, One Product (OTOP) National Expo. | |||
Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) regional information officer Wilfred Carbonell disclosed that the September 21-25 bazaar will be held in Trade halls 1 and 2 of SM Megamall in Mandaluyong city. | |||
The five-day fair will carry the theme “Great Choices. Great Value. Philippines’ Best!” | |||
It shall feature an array of distinctive products made by the residents of Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao such as processed foods, home furnishings, ceramics, holiday decors, jewelries, fashion accessories, footwear, textiles, garments, and semi-processed raw materials. | |||
Carbonell added that Region 3’s booths will be bannered by the hats and bags of Aurora, tuyo and tinapa of Bataan, barongs and gowns of Bulacan, longganisa and tocino of Nueva Ecija, lanterns of Pampanga, bamboo-engineered products of Tarlac, and dried fruits and fruit jams of Zambales. | |||
Carbonell explained that the OTOP was conceived in 2004 and patterned after Japan’s highly successful One Village, One Product (OVOP) program. | |||
Its primary mission was to stimulate economic activity in both the urban and rural areas of the archipelago through the development and promotion of a particular product associated with a given locality. | |||
Figures from DTI reveal that OTOP has created approximately 33,000 MSMEs in 1,518 municipalities and cities from 2005 to 2010. | |||
Moreover, the program generated over P10 billion in investments during that period as well as sales up to P15.5 billion domestically and US$650 million through export. | |||
The MSMEs have likewise provided employment to more than 400,000 Filipinos nationwide. (WLB/CLJD-PIA 3) | |||
