I missed the Negros Trade Fair, and it breaks my heart so much. Where in manila can i still get some of the negros handicrafts. The last time i went home to bacolod i almost hoard all items at Handmaid gallery store, all to be hand carried. Now the Negros trade fair was my only chance to avail again of some of the handicrafts that i wasnt able to take home with me then. Will there be a second wave of the fair again? If not is there any outlet here in manila that sells negros handicrafts?

Millet, you can also visit Virgie’s, Bong-Bong’s and Pendy’s for take home goodies….you can go around Bacolod and drop by Assoc. of Negros Producers (ANP Showroom) for some pasalubong
