It aims to promote and increase the sales of the MSMEs during the holiday season.

“Sa kabuuan, 14 entrepreneurs ang nakilahok sa trade fair na ito upang ibenta sa mababang halaga ang kanilang mga ipinagmamalaking produkto. Magandang pagkakataon para sa kanila ito, lalo na ngayong magpa-Pasko, mas in demand yung kanilang mga produkto,” Yutuc said.
