More than 40 Albay-based entrepreneurs are set to showcase their craftsmanship at the Sa’Od Albay Trade Fair 2025, happening from November 19 to 23 at Shangri-La Plaza in Mandaluyong City.
Organized by DTI–Albay, the event serves as the province’s flagship marketing platform, highlighting the creativity, resilience, and innovation of local MSMEs while boosting market expansion and job generation.
The fair features a wide array of products—from handicrafts and pili-based delicacies to fashion pieces and other proudly Albayano goods—giving local businesses a prime opportunity to reach a broader consumer base.
“Albay is home to exceptional artisans and world-class, proudly local products,” said DTI Albay Provincial Director Noel B. Bunao. “We aim to highlight the entrepreneurial spirit and resilience of Albayanos through this trade fair.”
Bunao expressed confidence that MSMEs can surpass their ₱10-million sales target in the five-day exhibit. He reaffirmed DTI’s commitment to supporting small enterprises through tools, training, and sustained market exposure.
FAST Logistics Group is also supporting this year’s event by providing end-to-end logistics—from product drop-off in Legazpi to delivery at Shangri-La Plaza—ensuring product quality upon arrival.
“Our partnership with Bicol MSMEs is built on mutual trust and a shared commitment to elevate local enterprises,” said FAST CEO for Logistics Manuel L. Onrejas Jr.
Participating MSMEs include ABACA Trading, Albay Pilinut Candies, Alcaldeza Native Products, C.O.P. Pili Sweets & Pastries, Jopay Pili Nuts Candies, Noveno’s Pilinut Candy, RLM Native Products, Oragon Fave Food Products, Oarde’s Bakery & Foodhauz, and The Rain Handicrafts.
