MANILA, Philippines - Enjoy freshly-brewed mountain coffee while shopping for unique crafts and gift items from the Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR) at the Cordillera Products Expo set on Nov. 28 to Dec. 7, at Festival Supermall, Alabang, Muntinlupa City. The biggest trade fair yet for the region, Cordillera Products Expo showcases over 70 exhibitors of the region’s top products such as silvercraft, ethnic novelty items, houseware, furniture and furnishings, fresh and processed food, hand-woven products, woodcraft, bamboo crafts, and collectible antiques manufactured by the hardworking upland people. Formerly known as Impakabsat Fair, the expo features products from the six CAR provinces: Abra, Apayao, Benguet, Ifugao, Kalinga and Mountain Province, as well as the cities of Baguio and Tabuk. In Ilocano, “kabsat” or “kinnabsatan” stands for kinship or brotherly ties, pointing to the history of the trade fair, which was first organized by the Department of Trade and Industry-CAR with the new regional government offices in 1991 to help boost the economy in the earthquake-stricken region. The Cordillera Products Expo will also feature the Philippine Exporters Confederation- Cordillera Administrative Region (PEC-CAR).
