The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Region 2 headed by Regional Director Ma. Sofia G. Narag, CESO V, and Acting Assistant Regional Director Atty. Michael B. Paggabao, proudly showcased the best of Cagayan Valley through the Padday na Lima Booth at International Food Exhibition (IFEX) Philippines on 22-24 May 2025 at the World Trade Center Metro Manila, championing local products and supporting homegrown Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) on the international stage.



This achievement is a result of collaboration and commitment. It would not have been possible without the industriousness and hands-on assistance of the DTI R2 Provincial Trade Promotions Officers, who have worked tirelessly to guide their provinces’ MSMEs and ensure their products take the spotlight — not only within the region, but also on the global stage:
- Regional Office: Ms. Desiree S. Angolluan
- Cagayan: Ms. Pauline Clare C. Taguibao
- Isabela: Ms. Maria Corazon C. Mamuri
- Quirino: Ms. Shiela A. Nera and Ms. Kristal Anne L. Pera-Postre
- Nueva Vizcaya: Mr. Richard C. Suiagan
Center for International Trade Expositions and Missions Executive Director Leah Pulido Ocampo expressed her support to the delegation. She had a brief yet meaningful exchange with the DTI R2 – Small Medium Enterprise Development Division Marketing Team, led by Ms. Desiree S. Angolluan, Marketing & Promotions Unit Head, and other DTI R2 personnel.
Congratulations to DTI R2 for being recognized as the Top 2 Performing Trade Promotions Officer (TPO) at this year’s IFEX — a testament to the team’s unwavering dedication to uplifting Region 2’s MSMEs.
Experience the distinct flavors, creativity, and innovation of Cagayan Valley!
