00:00The Philippines is very active in various products, such as rice, coconut, and other foods, including seafood.
00:07On July 1, the National Food Fair was held by the Department of Trade and Industry, or DTI,
00:14to highlight the local products that can be used in other countries.
00:20That's why this morning, we will be joined by Sir Emerson Labang.
00:24Sir Em is the Supervising Trade and Industry Development Specialist from the Department of Trade and Industry
00:29We are also joined by Ms. Olive Santa Juana and Ms. Thelma Hecule, the exhibitors of the Food Fair.
00:36Good morning!
00:37Good morning!
00:38Good morning, Rise and Shine Philippines!
00:39Okay, good morning, Sir!
00:40Sir, you choose businesses from each region, right?
00:43How many exhibitors are we expecting to bring to the upcoming events?
00:48This is DTI, Bagong Pilipinas National Food Fair.
00:51So, we are featuring more than 250 exhibitors from Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.
00:57And for five days, July 3 to 7, they will bring the best food products.
01:01So, our visitors and buyers can expect a lot of variety of best products from different provinces of the Philippines.
01:09So, when we come here, we should be hungry?
01:12Yes, this is the National Food Fair, right, Sir?
01:15That's right, Sir!
01:16There are a lot of exhibitors and food.
01:18It's like a food tourism, right?
01:20Exactly, Ma'am!
01:21You can travel.
01:23Without going to provinces, because it's a bit tight,
01:26they can experience the best, their favorite, from different provinces.
01:31So, this is with the help of our MSMEs.
01:34Okay, speaking of MSMEs, we are also with the exhibitors from this Food Fair.
01:39So, tell us your journey.
01:40How did the Department of Trade and Industry help you to expand your market for your products?
01:46DTI helped us a lot with our MSMEs.
01:51Just like us who make our own products,
01:54we are given an opportunity to showcase our products in different locations in our country.
02:03We are given an opportunity to sell our products and expand our local products.
02:10It's good that they have a platform like this, right?
02:12That's right.
02:13And Dian, it's great to think that we have innovative products made by Filipinos and non-Filipinos.
02:18So, it's very proud, right?
02:19Ma'am Tell, what is your reaction?
02:21Because there are people who are inspired, many are like your products.
02:25Yes, it's very inspiring to be given the opportunity by the Department of Trade and Industry
02:32and other countries of the government.
02:34Because we, at Star Cafe, benefited from different activities.
02:41And just like here in the trade fairs,
02:43we are given the opportunity to showcase our products made by Filipinos.
02:50Some of their products are here, right?
02:52What is this, ma'am?
02:54This is our product.
02:55This is our latest product, Papa Ping's Bangus Shumai.
02:59Bangus Shumai? That's different.
03:01It's different.
03:02We are the first to make it.
03:05We launched this in January 2024.
03:09Because we are active in connecting bazaars,
03:13this is what we offer to our customers.
03:18Let's steam it later.
03:20This is okay, ma'am Tell.
03:22We are the first to make chocolate drink instant with coconut sugar.
03:27The glycemic index is low, so even if you have diabetes,
03:31you can drink it slightly or low.
03:34It's also good for children, adults, and our parents.
03:38It's good for the family.
03:40That's good, right? The products are very innovative.
03:42So when you season it, you don't need to add sugar anymore?
03:45Yes.
03:46And this is the safest drink if you want a healthier alternative.
03:51That's good, right?
03:52The new products are beautiful.
03:54There are also health benefits.
03:56How do you help our exhibitors?
03:59The products are for export.
04:01That's right.
04:02That's what we want.
04:03We want our products to go to other countries.
04:08With our national food fair,
04:10we are partnering with several government agencies.
04:13So we have FDA, IPO field.
04:16They will help us in terms of branding, packaging,
04:20and compliance with various requirements.
04:22And we're also partnering with several private organizations
04:27to help MSMEs
04:29with best strategies to upscale their products and services.
04:34So we're looking for buyers, supporters, distributors,
04:41even family.
04:42Our national food fair,
04:43they would definitely enjoy our event next week.
04:47Sir, do you have social media pages for those who want to go to the national food fair?
04:53Yes, for them to be updated on the activities.
04:55When is this?
04:56Actually, our event will be streamed through our social media channels.
05:01So we have a lot of activities.
05:03We have business talks, cooking demos, wine mixing shows,
05:06special features of coffee, coconut.
05:09You can see all of that and upcoming updates
05:12on our social media channels at dti.bdtp,
05:16on Facebook, IG, and YouTube.
05:19Since we're with the exhibitors,
05:21maybe a small tip for those who want to start a business,
05:24to partner with DTI,
05:26so that you'll be able to participate in food fairs like this
05:30to expand the market.
05:32For those who want to start a business,
05:34like us, who started back then,
05:36when you start a business,
05:39you need to have a heart and dedication
05:41because business is not easy.
05:44And if you have your own product,
05:46make it big because this is a Filipino product
05:50that we should share with others.
05:53Ma'am, tell them.
05:55I agree with what my colleague said.
05:58You really need determination
06:01and you need to have a Filipino product.
06:04Because we grow our materials,
06:08our ingredients are made in the Philippines.
06:10Because we need to grow our Filipino products,
06:14helping our fellow communities
06:18and farmers to grow.

06:25And MSMEs, you're the backbone of the Philippine economy.
