00:00 The province of Cebu has organized an expo event that showcases local products and souvenirs for local and foreign tourists alike.
00:07 Jesse Atienza has more.
00:09 If you crave for local food, Cebuano-made products and souvenir items, come and visit the R-Cebu Expo.
00:19 One can see and taste various local food and handcrafted products like tablea, torta, handmade bags, and sarok.
00:28 Fresh fruits and vegetables harvested by local farmers are also available.
00:34 We are proud of the products we display here.
00:38 Yesterday, we went out of stock.
00:41 Now, we have reinforcements for delicacies and vegetables.
00:45 This is the symbol of our town. This is sarok.
00:49 Actually, all Filipinos know this as "salakot"
00:53 but in our Bisayan term, in our town, we call this sarok.
00:58 This is made from thin bamboo strips and dried banana leaves.
01:04 All of the displayed items drew the curiosity of an Australian vlogger
01:08 who now plans for a trip to a number of towns in Cebu province.
01:13 It's giving me some good ideas on where to go in the next couple of months traveling down south.
01:18 So, I wanted to discover what you can see and do down there.
01:21 It looks really good. Some of those resorts and the beaches and the mountains.
01:25 I'm looking for the waterfalls and all that. So, very interesting.
01:28 So, lots of ideas. I have to Google and research it more and then make a plan to go down there.
01:32 The R-Cebu Expo is a program of the Cebu Provincial Government
01:36 which plans to highlight the local products of the different towns and component cities
01:41 and put them on display in malls for greater exposure to locals and foreign visitors or tourists.
