The One Town One Product store of the city government here will host various trade fairs this Ber-season.
Mayor Carmelo “Pogi” Lazatin, Jr. wants to continue strengthening the promotion of local products which deserve the spotlight.
“We will fully support our local entrepreneurs to further introduce them not just nationwide but worldwide,” Lazatin said. “Lalo na po ngayon na nalalapit na naman ang Pasko, pwede po ang mga Gawang Angeleño products natin na pang-regalo o souvenir.”
Among the scheduled trade fairs are the following:
- 100 Days of Happiness, an Annual Christmas Bazaar by SM Supermalls on September 16 to December 15, 2022 at the Ground level of SM City Clark.
- Fiestang Kuliat trade fair on October 17 to 26, 2022 at the Museo Ning Angeles, Heritage District.
- Organic Agriculture Month in November, hosting a trade fair from November 21 to 23, 2022 at the Museo Ning Angeles, Heritage District.
Among the inauguration promises of Mayor Lazatin is to revitalize the OTOP and extend avenues to introduce it more to a larger market.
In fact, this year, the OTOP store has installed a new kiosk at the Prime City Hotel, where Gawang Angeleño products are displayed.
To date, there are 21 existing member-merchants in the OTOP store, from its 12 in 2019.
The OTOP store is being supervised by Executive Assistant IV Reina Manuel and Chief Adviser IC Calaguas, with Angeles City Economic Development and Investment Promotions Office led by Irish Bonus-Llego.
Apart from the physical store in Barangay Sto. Rosario, OTOP store has two more exhibit-kiosks found in the City Hall — entrance and exit doors. Online shopping is also available via Shopee and Facebook.
