ANGELES CITY -- The 17th Likha ng Central Luzon (LCL) Trade Fair posted P12.05-million in initial sales.

“A Pampanga seller of homemade nuts topped the first four days with P1.5- million followed by a handicraft maker with P1.38 million, and a bagmaker from Bulacan with P600,000,” Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Regional Director Judith Angeles said.

About 110 micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) participated in the 2015 edition of LCL which was held at the Old Glorietta Activity Center in Makati City.

“The event highlighted fresh ideas and premium products of MSMEs coming from Aurora, Bataan, Bulacan, Nueva Ecija, Pampanga, Tarlac, and Zambales, each one supporting their provincial brand that ensures only best quality products,” Angeles added.

The September 23 to October 1 fair featured regionally produced Christmas decors, processed foods, home furnishings, ceramics, jewelry, fashion accessories, bags, footwear, and other novelty products.

“LCL is also the culmination of MSME development activities for the participants as they apply all that they have learned from capability enhancement trainings and seminars conducted by DTI and all that they have done to improve their product,” Angeles said.

DTI-3 and Philexport-3 jointly organized the event with the full support of the Regional Development Council-3, Philippine Information Agency and Central Luzon Growth Corridor Foundation Inc.
