I urge those in the area to visit as prices are most reasonable and way below Metro Manila quotations. The hardwood living room sets are bestsellers and a steal if you compare it with high-end shops with quality on a par if not better...And for those who have been following my other blog, http://everythingwaray.blogspot.com/, you can find in this fair the delicacies I've written about such as the pastillas of Mana Lumen; the moron of Abuyog, and the binagol of Dagami. No need to wait for pasalubong from visiting relatives. Catch it while you can, just drop yourself at the Shaw MRT station and take a walk for some good exercise on your way to SM Mega Mall mega trade hall where the fair will be held.
hi! this is a real nice blog. just explored it only now. i especially like the "banig" post. =) too bad we didn't catch you while you were here. would have wanted to see your little one, whom your sisters adore and cannot seem to stop talking about. see you na la in Tacloban, when I go home for vacation. =)
