Pinococo is now at the Sandugo Trade Expo 2011 in Tagbilaran, Bohol up to July 24.
Bohol is one of the most beautiful, exotic islands of the Philippines. Bohol is famous for its chocolate hills, beautiful beaches, forests and mountains, home to the endangered tarsiers, and exhilarating rivers and waterfalls. The people are friendly and hospitable.
We are now a part of their celebration of the annual Sandugo Festival. A variety of products are shown here from Bohol baskets, woven buli mats and home decors, banig from Samar, fashion accessories from Cebu, more from different provinces including delicacies from different parts of the country.
Here are some photos of our booth and the Sandugo Trade Expo:
