Nature's Essence products manufactured in Kiamba, Saragani Province have great potentials.

BEFORE GOING home today, I dropped by the Fabli Gu Ni, a tribal trade fair at the Sarangani Provincial Capitol Park. Local ptoducts, specifically those under the One Town One Product Program (OTOP) were displayed there.

Alabel has it’s aquaculture products, specifically the Sarangani Prime Bangus which is exported to various countries and is nationally recgonized. Aside from bangus, Alabel is also producing Pomapano, Talkitok, Sea Bass, among others.

Malungon has its corn and mango products. Malapatan has Tinagtag ang local fabrics. Maitum has marinated dried fish and other agricultural products. By the look of the booth of Maasim, I could see that the town has not recovered yet from the effects of the security problems in the past few months.

But probably the winner is the municipality of Kiamba and its abaca products.

WITH A great number of pending cases in the backlog of Philippine courts, people question whether justice is really served in the country.

The Supreme Court of the Philippines and the Provincial Government of Sarangani has an answer — setting justice in motion. In the literal sense of the phrase, Sarangani has put wheels on its court allowing it to serve people better.

SWEET SIXTEEN.

That was how Vice President Noli de Castro described Sarangani as he graced the opening ceremonies of the 16th Foundation Anniversary and 6th MunaTo Festival.

De Castro told the crowd that despite being young, Sarangani is already comparable to other provinces in the country, citing the different achievements of the province.

He congratulated Gov. Miguel Rene Dominguez for the housing project being put up in Alabel and also appreciated the various projects to be launched such the the Justice on Wheels.

The Vice President also visited the Fabli Gu Ni, a trade fair that showcases the different wordl-class products of the seven towns of Sarangani.

IT WAS almost a case of ungratefulness. I hadn’t been visiting my old blogger friend, Sir Avel, for centuries until last night. It was only then that I learned I won in Bariles Republic’s Blogoversary Contest.

The very truth about why I was taken by surprise was that I didn’t think I was part of the contest. The contest rule was for blogger to write a comment on his blog — I wrote a short note there, though, but it wasn’t an entry. What I did was write a post here in awe of his great achievement as a newbie in the field.

Gov. Migs Dominguez explains at a presscon as Michelle Solo, Tourism and Industry president watches.

THE CELEBRATION of Sarangani’s MunaTo Festival is shorter this year de to security reasons, but it definitely doesn’t mean less fun. In fact, I have a few signs that it would be well attended.

For one thing, it is conducted back-to-back with the provincial athletic meet. Both activities are expected tro draw more people to the Capitol Park, Alabel.

The opening program tomorrow will be graced by the Vice-President of the Republic of the Philippines, Noli de Castro, and on Friday, Chief Justice Reynato S. Puno will be here for the Launching of Justice on Wheels (Tamdanan sa Balaod).
