Through their continuing engagement with coffee farmers, processors, enterprises, and other industry stakeholders, they highlighted local initiatives, livelihood opportunities, and the potential for further developing the province’s coffee sector.

Published through the official DTI Kalinga page, the contest entries introduced a wider audience to the province’s coffee-producing communities, products, and tourism experiences, strengthening local product promotion and public appreciation of Kalinga’s coffee industry.

The activity also built on insights gained during the 2nd Kalinga Invitational Coffee Quality and Sustainability Congress held on September 8–9, 2026, allowing DTI-Kalinga personnel to translate their learnings into creative promotional content.

The awarding ceremony recognized the winners for their contributions to promoting Kalinga coffee. The 𝗣𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗲 𝗚𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱, 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝘆 𝗠𝗮’𝗮𝗺 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘁𝗮 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗿, sponsored the prizes in support of the initiative. The winners and their respective prizes were:

Beyond the competition, “BEYOND THE CUP” reflects DTI Kalinga’s continuing commitment to strengthening the competitiveness of coffee stakeholders, expanding market opportunities, and supporting the growth of the local coffee industry. By highlighting the people, processes, and cultural heritage behind every cup, the initiative contributes to the province’s aspiration to reach broader markets and establish Kalinga coffee as a distinctive product worthy of wider recognition.

Ultimately, every story shared through the contest reinforces a message that goes beyond the cup: Kalinga coffee represents local heritage, hard work, and community pride. Building on the success of this initiative, DTI Kalinga looks forward to opening the contest to the public, encouraging more individuals and communities to share the stories behind Kalinga coffee.
