00:00 Let's find out the details of the National Trade Fair 2023
00:04 organized by the Bureau of Domestic Trade Promotion
00:07 of the Department of Trade and Industry
00:09 and DTI, Regional and Provincial Offices.
00:12 Let's watch this.
00:14 From native Filipino delicacies,
00:24 favorite souvenirs,
00:26 display items,
00:28 furniture, various handicrafts,
00:30 to traditional clothing and accessories,
00:34 and many other local products,
00:36 we will see at the National Trade Fair this year.
00:40 The National Trade Fair is organized by the Bureau of Domestic Trade Promotion
00:46 of the Department of Trade and Industry
00:48 with the help of DTI, Regional and Provincial Offices.
00:52 This is one of the largest trade fairs in the country
00:56 because it involves food and non-food products manufacturers
01:00 and MSMEs from 17 regions in the Philippines.
01:04 More than 257 exhibitors are invited to this fair
01:10 and 72 of them are first-timers.
01:13 This is also a hybrid,
01:15 so for those who cannot go personally,
01:17 they have an online catalog
01:19 where we can see the exhibitors and their products.
01:25 One of the main attractions of this trade fair
01:28 is the Philippine Sustainability Pavilion
01:30 where eco-friendly items such as
01:33 products made from coconuts, cows, natural fibers, and grass can be found.
01:39 This is also in line with their theme,
01:41 "Go Local, Go Green."
01:43 Go local because we encourage our consumers to buy local
01:48 and support our economy.
01:50 And go green because we have so many problems
01:53 with regards to the environment.
01:55 We have problems with plastic pollution,
01:57 problems with climate change,
02:00 so we want to address those concerns.
02:04 So we would like to promote green, sustainable products.
02:11 Here, you can also see the products of the beneficiaries
02:15 of the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program of DTI
02:19 and the Department of Agrarian Reform
02:21 and this event also highlights
02:24 the other programs of DTI
02:26 for Filipinos who want to start a business.
02:29 One town, one product program.
02:32 So every town has a special product
02:37 that is a pride of place.
02:39 They also have a package of assistance
02:41 that is given to micro, small, and medium enterprises
02:45 so that they can grow more.
02:47 There is one for productivity, costing,
02:51 for product development, labeling,
02:54 there is also a loan, so there is mentoring.
02:57 So all the package of assistance is given
03:00 to our micro, small, and medium enterprises.
03:03 The National Trade Fair started on Wednesday, August 23,
03:08 and will last until August 27.
03:11 That is why they are encouraging everyone
03:13 to go and support Filipino products.
03:17 We are also nearing the bear month,
03:20 so we have to take this opportunity
03:23 to buy local, direct from our manufacturers.
03:28 The prices are affordable, so take advantage.
03:33 Long live the Philippines!
03:35 Let's buy local, go local!
