DTI’s Bagsakan initiative continues to support local retailers, consumers amid COVID-19 The Department of Trade and Industry - Bureau of Domestic Trade Promotion (DTI-BDTP) continues its series of Bagsakan installments to assist local crop growers and retailers in selling their products.
Held at the DTI Head Office parking area in Makati City last 27 and 29 April, the Bagsakan, fourth and fifth of the series so far, shortly follows the success of the first few Bagsakan initiatives which had successfully sold three tons of Guimaras mangoes and 4.18 tons of Bataan mangoes, respectively. The succeeding installment sold out 4.7 tons of kalabaw variety mangoes from Bataan farmers, generating a total of P843,152 in sales. Aside from mangoes, the two-day Bagsakan sales proper featured other products from Bataan, Bulacan, and other areas from Central Luzon. Among these included preserved marine products, local goods, delicacies, and produce, which were actively marketed on social media and made available for online orders prior to the event proper.

The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) held the continuation of its Bagsakan initiatives last 27 and 29 April 2020 at the DTI Head Office parking area in Makati City, featuring local fruits and other food products to help local farmers, fruit growers, and manufacturers across the country reach more customers amid the Luzon-wide enhanced community quarantine brought about by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
Cookies, Mama Cili Bangus Sardines, and Joyful Garden Farm Organic Farmers Association, Inc., among others.
DTI-BDTP continues to work with DTI Regional and Provincial Offices in support of Filipino MSMEs, and in adherence to the Bayanihan to Heal as One Act. Through sustained collaborative efforts such as the Bagsakan initiative, the Department enables more local enterprises, farmers, and fruit growers to showcase their products. First launched following the postponement of the National Food Fair (NFF) last 12 March 2020 due to Proclamation No. 922, or the declaration of a state of public health emergency, the Bagsakan marketing initiative seeks to extend support for local micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) affected by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The Bagsakan installments also aim to provide consumers with a steady supply of food and medicinal products as the country transitions from the enhanced to the general community quarantine arrangement. The next Bagsakan is set to launch on Thursday, 7 May 2020 at the DTI Head Office in Makati City, featuring Zambales mangoes, Pampanga watermelons, salted eggs, and fried itik, Bulacan organic rice, Nueva Ecija dairy products, Tarlac vegetables, Bataan araro cookies, bagoong, nilasing na hipon, ready to eat dilis, pusit cashew nuts, and other Filipino delicacies.
Aside from kalabaw variety mangoes, the succeeding Bagsakan series of initiatives held last 27 and 29 April at the DTI Head Office parking lot in Makati City featured other local vegetables, fruit and herbal preserves, native cookies and delicacies, marine, plant, and nut products manufactured by farmers and fruit growers across central Luzon.
