By MBrand
Padday na Lima paints the metro with Cagayan Valley's hues of heritage, opening the trade fair with a vibrant showcase at Festival Mall Alabang on Sept. 19, 2025. Brimming with culture and tradition, Padday na Lima—the Ybanag term for “made by hands”—serves as the prime venue for highlighting the region’s finest offerings.
Welcoming the guests was DTI Region 2 Regional Director Ma. Sofia G. Narag, CESO V, who invited attendees to witness the dazzling spirit of Cagayan Valley through its colors, flavors, and artistry. DTI Regional Operations Group Assistant Secretary Grace Baluyan, together with LGU officials and private partners, praised the fair as a powerful testament to the region’s vibrant heritage and the resilience of its MSMEs.
Guests were treated to a splash of colors through the Hibla’t Habing Rehiyon Dos fashion show, complemented by an impressive display of the region’s best products in the provincial pavilions. Each creation told a story of tradition, ingenuity, and the hardworking communities behind it.
Alongside the launch of the 19th Padday na Lima Regional Trade Fair was the unveiling of PaddayNaLima.ph, a digital platform designed to expand the visibility and market reach of Region 2’s MSMEs beyond the physical fair.
Come and experience this extraordinary festival of colors firsthand! Padday na Lima runs from Sept. 25 at the Upper Ground, Carousel Court, and East Hall of Festival Mall Alabang, Muntinlupa City.
