CITY, March 10 (PIA) – The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Sorsogon
Office in coordination with the Provincial Government of Sorsogon through the
Provincial Gender Advocacy Council (PGADC) intensifies promotion of GAD and women
empowerment in the province through a mini-trade fair and skills competition
open to aspiring Sorsogon women entrepreneurs specifically in the marginalized
sectors.
As
member of the PGADC, the DTI under the leadership of provincial director Leah
Pagao spearheads the activity.
Ms.
Glenda Goingo, DTI’s GAD focal person, said that as women are once again
highlighted this March, they have prepared activities that would enhance and promote
the entrepreneurial skills of Sorsogon women especially from the marginalized
sector, and at the same time help augment their livelihoods.

"It
will feature an array of environmental friendly local crafts and food as well
as agricultural products developed and made by our very own women,” says Ms.
Goingo.
The
skills competition that will held on the first day will showcase identified
skills on “Pagsalad sin bayong” (bayong weaving) and “pagtilad sin pili” (pili
shell cracking) to stir the entrepreneurial awareness and cultural appreciation
on the essence of Women’s Month in line with the promotion of culture and
tradition of the province.
Buyers
can take pleasure of the local MSMEs products from the trade fair huts that will
be mounted near the Provincial Tourism Compound. Products to be sold will include include handicrafts, processed foods/native delicacies, agri-products
(fruits and vegetables), organic products, ornamental plants, and health and wellness
products. The three-day selling period will be from 9:00 am to 7:00 pm.
“We
have encouraged the local government units (LGUs) to select the best entry as
contestant in their area to stimulate province wide participation. And because
our main objective to this activity is to highlight our women’s entrepreneurial
skills and showcase our locally made products, we deemed not to collect any participation
fee,” Ms. Goingo articulated.
This
year’s theme of the Women’s Month celebration is “Kababaihan: Gabay sa Pagtahak sa Tuwid na Daan”. (BARecebido, PIA
