What pops into mind when one mentions the province of Pangasinan? Bagoong, patis, and salt. The province, after all, is derived from the word “asin,” and is the country’s top producer of (solar) salt.
“We’ve always been thankful of how nature has sustained us through and through,” says Pangasinan Gov. Ramon V. Guico III. “But for the province to be more competitive and progressive, we have to transcend beyond salt. We have to level up and be part of the international stage.”“I’ve always admired the never-say-die spirit of my kababayans. They’re not only the warmest and most dedicated people I know. They’ve also been the most resourceful and creative,” he enthuses.
“In conjunction with all these efforts, the province of Pangasinan acknowledges that micro, small and medium enterprises play a vital role in ensuring inclusive economic growth in the province,” Gov. Guico says.Furniture pieces from Erastus and woven wonders by Joy, B6 and Cawayan The AEA, under the ABOUND project, selected and trained 10 MSMEs for their world-class and export-quality artistry and products, were presented to the media recently at The Peninsula Manila.
Promoting the province’s diverse creative industries through prestigious trade events like Manila FAME is a key part of the economic growth initiatives in Pangasinan.• Herwin Buccat, also known as Hermitanyo, is an artist from Bolinao, who’s known for his surrealist and nature- and fantasy-inspired artwork.

Guico proudly says.Catch these top Pangasinan MSMEs and see their incredible artisanal creations up close at the Manila FAME on October 19-21, 2023 at the World Trade Center.
