Sarangani's Local Products are World Class
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. In fact, a MOA was signed with an exporter that will be sourcing out about 10,000 kilograms of abaca fiber and sinamay from Kiamba every month. The merchant says that there’s a great demand abroad but there is low supply. It’s a good thing that Kiamba had this opportunity. The Department of Labor and Employment has committed to help the local government of Kiamba in the acquisition of machines and conduct of trainings.
One more thing about Kiamba’s booth are its virgin coconut oil products called Nature’s Essence. There’s bath soap, shampoo, and conditioner that are manufactured in Kling Kiamba, Sarangani Province. The package is attractive and looks like that of the products familiar to us. I really think that these products can compete with commercial skin and hair care products.
That
I bought some of the Nature’s Essence products to try at home. I used it just now and I am really very positive that it will make good in the market. The soap is delicately scented and doesn’t make your skin dry. After using the shampoo and conditioner, I felt good about my hair. Although, some improvement could still be done about its packaging but it’s good already.
By the way, unexpectedly, I met Ate Amor in one of the booths. She’s now connected with the Conrado Alcantara Foundation. It was nice seeing her again.

I agree! Sarangani has so much great potential. What it needs is 100% backing from the government to help market its products and services.
Go silingan go!!!!
