Discovering Sorsogon's Hidden Gems

Last month, we joined DTI-BMDPO’s buying mission in Sorsogon to discover what the province has to offer. We visited various locations across Sorsogon Province, including Bulan, Casiguran, Bulusan, Barcelona, Irosin, and Sorsogon City along with other potential partners from Roots Collective and Tesoro’s. 

Showcasing Sorsogon's Best

Over two days, MSMEs showcased their unique community products, including abaca items, jewelry, pili nuts, pastries, and wellness products. All of us got to see firsthand how these products are made in factories and workshops. It was a fun time trying out the different products. Sorsogon really has a wealth of offerings made by local artisans and manufacturers.

What's Next?

Initiatives like this are crucial for empowering local businesses and driving economic growth in Sorsogon. With more partnerships and collaborations, the potential for growth is huge. We are excited to onboard some of the brands and their community products into our store!
