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.

𝗟𝗢𝗢𝗞: 𝗥𝗠𝗦𝗠𝗘𝗗𝗖 𝗟𝗔𝗨𝗡𝗖𝗛𝗘𝗦 𝗖𝗜𝗥𝗖𝗟𝗘 𝗛𝗨𝗕 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗦𝗧𝗥𝗢𝗡𝗚𝗘𝗥 𝗠𝗦𝗠𝗘 𝗦𝗨𝗣𝗣𝗢𝗥𝗧

The Regional Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprise Development Council (RMSMEDC) officially launched the Cagayan Valley Integrated Regional Center for Local Enterprises (CIRCLE) Hub today, 8 October 2026 at Carig Sur, Tuguegarao City, Cagayan. The launch, marked by the blessing of the Hub and unveiling of its official logo, opens a shared space where government, academe, the business sector, and other partners can make their programs, resources, and expertise easily available to MSMEs.

The idea for this hub started during the MSME Development Plan Cascading in October 2025 in Santiago City, Isabela, where RMSMEDC members discussed ways to make MSME support more coordinated and accessible. Recognizing that entrepreneurs often navigate various agencies and programs to find assistance, the Council envisioned a common platform for collaboration, making it easier for MSMEs to access the support that suits their needs.

During the launch, DTI R2 Regional Director and RMSMEDC Chairperson Ma. Sofia G. Narag, CESO V, emphasized that the Hub is more than a physical facility. It is designed to assist MSMEs in identifying the right programs, partners, and resources based on their specific business needs. Additionally, it provides Council members with a venue to enhance referrals, linkages, and collaboration.

One key highlight at the launch was the signing of an agreement between DTI Region 2 and Cagayan State University (CSU). This agreement aims to support small and medium-sized food businesses in the region by combining government support with the university’s knowledge and resources. It shows how collaboration can effectively assist food businesses with technology and product development needs. The operational framework of the CIRCLE Hub was also presented, detailing how participating partners can contribute their programs and services and collaborate through the Hub.

In his closing message, Acting Assistant Regional Director, Atty. Michael B. Paggabao emphasized that the launch is just the beginning of CIRCLE’s work. He noted that its success depends not only on the Hub but also on partner institutions' willingness to share resources, coordinate, make referrals, and respond to MSMEs' actual needs. With the CIRCLE Hub now officially open, the RMSMEDC looks forward to strengthening the participation of its member-agencies and partners and building more collaborations that can provide entrepreneurs with the right connections to assistance, technology, training, market opportunities, and other support they need to grow and advance their businesses.

Present in the activity were Regional Director Troy Alexander Miano of the Department of Tourism, Bank Officer Elena Madriaga of Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas, University Director for Extension Roje Marie C. Rosqueta of Cagayan State University, Dean Dolores Galvez of Nueva Vizcaya State University, IDQAO Director Harrison T.
