Manankil, and Clark Development Corporation represented by OIC Manager Elenita Lorenzo in promoting the best of the Philippines in Japan, where the city government sent products of the OTOP store and its own coffee — the Kape Angeleño.
Dubbed as “Japan Tourism Roadshow”, this serves as a vital platform for showcasing the country’s tourism potential and forging connections between global travelers and enhancing destinations that are yet to be discovered.
Tokyo Ambassador Mylene J. Garcia-Albano is among those who received the OTOP souvenirs and the Kape Angeleño.
Part of the flagship programs of the Lazatin administration is to promote locally-made products, providing a venue to market it to a larger audience.
The city-run store OTOP and Café Kapebaluan are both priority projects of Mayor Lazatin, assisting local merchants and farmers in their livelihoods.
