anyway, how about the current Trade Fair in the Capitol grounds? i did my shopping?! look around two days in a row already. now then who's brilliant idea si it of extending invitation to the rest of our neighbouring provinces to exhibit their products deserves a commendation! the mangoes of Guimaras is worth checking out as it's so irresistible, then the lowly? muscovado sugar from Hamtik is worth a fortune, perhaps not too many of us knows of it's nutritional value. mind you its the best kind of sugar for coffee, and speaking of which the organically produced blend from Negros is a gourmets delight! by inviting them it promotes commerce fosters cooperation understanding among our tribes? in our Region. i intentionally did not speak Hilonggo with them but on our own maeapuyot nga Akeanon! and mind you we fully did understand each other pretty well. so here's kudos to the organiser!
