ANGELES CITY, PAMPANGA — Nueva Vizcaya’s products reached a wider audience as “NVyond Borders: Pampanga – A Lako ti Vizcayano Trade Fair” generated ₱4,026,658.00 in sales and assisted 41 micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) during its six-day run at the Activity Center of Ayala Malls MarQuee from September 21 to 26, 2026.

Organized by the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Nueva Vizcaya Provincial Office, in partnership with the Naturally Vibrant MSME Gawang Vizcayano Association, Office of Congressman Atty. Timothy Joseph E. Cayton, Provincial Government of Nueva Vizcaya, DTI Region 3, DTI Pampanga, and Ayala Malls MarQuee, the trade fair carried the theme “Celebrating Authentic Crafts, Creating Lasting Connections.”

The trade fair featured a diverse lineup of Novo Vizcayano products namely: coffee, cacao, coconut products, processed food, wines, furniture, woodcraft, wearables, agricultural products, and other locally made goods.

Beyond sales, NVyond Borders opened doors for MSMEs to engage with potential institutional buyers and business partners such as Ody Franco Tuano, Ling Food Products Corp., Media Group, Theya Enterprises, and Lighthouse Cooperative. These linkages created opportunities for supply arrangements, partnerships, and expanded market reach.

The six-day event also celebrated the province’s culture and creativity through special activities:

• CO-CA-NUT Special Event – highlighted coffee, cacao, and coconut as key commodities and sources of innovative products
• Craft Demo – showcased the skills and craftsmanship behind Nueva Vizcaya’s handmade products
• Flavors of Nueva Vizcaya – offered free tastings of selected local food products to mallgoers

Visitors also discovered unique coffee blends from Novo Vizcayano entrepreneurs, featuring flavors like citrus, ginger, honey lemon, and katmon. The fair was further energized by a performance from the Marian Dance Troupe of Saint Mary’s University, which brought the official NVyond Borders theme song to life.

These activities reinforced the fair’s core purpose: not only to sell products, but to tell the stories behind them and create meaningful connections between Novo Vizcayano MSMEs and new markets.

With over ₱4 million in sales, 41 MSMEs assisted, and new business linkages established, NVyond Borders showed that bringing Gawang Vizcayano beyond provincial borders is possible, and it fulfilled its promise to celebrate authentic crafts and create lasting connections.

🎉 IT'S OCTOBER 8 🎉

HAPPY "YOU" DAY, MS. JEZREEL RUTH PUMARAS! 🎂

If there’s one thing we’ve learned about you, it’s this: never ask “Tara?” unless you’re actually ready to go, because chances are, you’re already saying YES! 😂

A true lover of roads, travels, and spontaneous adventures, you somehow make every “quick gala” feel like a full-blown road trip. And when you’re in the office, we get an added bonus: our very own instant barista, serving great coffee and even better company.

Beyond the adventures and coffee runs, you’re someone we know we can depend on—reliable, game, and always ready to show up when needed.

May you always have good roads ahead, beautiful places to discover, and people worth taking the long way for. May you never lose that adventurous spirit that says yes to new experiences, and may life give you plenty of reasons to pull over, take a picture, grab a coffee, and say, “Worth the drive.” ❤️

Here’s to more miles, more memories, more coffee, and definitely more spontaneous gala! 🥳

Love,
Your DTI NViable Family ❤️

SAFE PRODUCTS. CONFIDENT CONSUMERS.

A celebration of awareness, action, and shared responsibility!

The 2026 Consumer Welfare Month (CWM) Kick-Off in Nueva Vizcaya brought together government agencies, partner organizations, businesses, and consumers united by one goal: to build a marketplace where consumers are informed, protected, and empowered.

From the lively motorcade and Zumba to tree planting and meaningful messages from our partners, the celebration was more than just a kick-off—it was a reminder that consumer protection is everyone’s responsibility.

Because when consumers know their rights, make informed choices, and speak up, we create a marketplace that is safer, fairer, and better for everyone.

Know your rights. Choose wisely. Speak up. Be a responsible consumer.

🎥 Relive the moments from the 2026 CWM Kick-Off!

IT'S OCTOBER 4 🎉🎂

🎉 HAPPY "YOU" DAY, MR. ARJAY MAR NOVIDA!🎂

October 4 is the day we celebrate one of the people who has been part of DTI Nueva Vizcaya’s story for many years, and if anyone asks what happened way back when, we already know who to call. 😂

Quiet most of the time, but every now and then, you’ll drop a joke completely out of nowhere and catch everyone off guard. And when it comes to work, you’re someone we can count on, especially whenever technology decides to give us a headache. 😂💻

But beyond the records, files, and years of experience is something even more valuable: the knowledge you have quietly accumulated and generously share with those who ask. You carry pieces of DTI Nueva Vizcaya’s story that help the rest of us understand not only where we came from, but why some things are the way they are.

May you continue to find fulfillment in knowing that the things you patiently preserve, explain, and help fix make the work easier for the people who come after you.

Here’s to more meaningful years, more stories from the good old days, more unexpected jokes, and hopefully fewer technology emergencies for you to rescue us from. 😂

Thank you for being one of the steady people behind the team. ✨

Love,
Your DTI NViable Family ❤

The celebration highlights the importance of product safety in protecting consumers and promoting informed and responsible purchasing decisions.
