BACOOR CITY, CAVITE — The spotlight is shining bright on Cavite's finest homegrown talents! In a vibrant celebration of local ingenuity and community pride, the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Cavite, in close collaboration with the Provincial Government of Cavite and the City Government of Bacoor, officially unlocked a treasure trove of local craftsmanship at the OTOP Philippines Trade Fair 2026.
Unleashing the Power of Local MSMEs
Running from September 30 to October 4, 2026, the grand exhibition has completely transformed the bustling Activity Center of SM City Molino into a marketplace of innovation and homegrown excellence. Centering around the empowering theme, "Elevating Local Excellence Through Innovation and Market Readiness," this year's trade fair serves as the ultimate launching pad for the newest OTOP MSMEs Batch 2026 alongside dedicated entrepreneurs from Bacoor. These micro, small, and medium enterprises are stepping out of the local neighborhoods and onto the big stage, giving shoppers a golden opportunity to discover market-ready goods built with pure passion. Visitors wandering through the pavilion can expect an array of unique Cavite-made creations, ranging from artisan food delicacies to intricate non-food items. Among the early crowd-favorites are irresistible local snacks like Manzano Yema Spread, uniquely repurposed crafts from Kimmy's Handmade, and healthy options from the City Processing Center.
A New Chapter: 'One Barangay, One Product'
This year's event carries an extra layer of significance. Beyond the trade stalls, the venue hosted the grand launching of Bacoor's highly anticipated "One Barangay, One Product" initiative. This forward-thinking program dives deep into the heart of Bacoor's local communities, giving individual barangays a platform to showcase the distinct resources, creativity, and cultural stories that make them unique. When you buy a product at this fair, you aren't just taking home a high-quality item—you are supporting sustainable livelihoods and directly fueling the economic growth of local communities.
