LOCALLY GROWN MILK FISH, PROCESSED BANGUS PRODUCTS TAKE CENTERSTAGE AT GUIMARAS’ BANGUS FAIR.

Organized by the Provincial Government of Guimaras in partnership with Sibunag Fish Producers’ Association, the Bangus Fair set for December 16, is one of the highlights of “Paskwa sa Isla”, the Guimaras’ way of celebrating the Christmas season.

From 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., milk fish or bangus produced by local fish farmers in the province will be sold at the Capitol Grounds.
Its purpose is to promote the local bangus industry of Guimaras which recorded a 7.35 percent growth.

The one-day activity features fresh bangus selling, demonstration on bangus deboning, selling of bangus processed products and cuisine, relleno and marinated bangus, and the bangus deboning competition.

This activity is also a way to pay tribute to the local fish farmers and to strengthen the milkfish aquaculture industry in Guimaras to increase their income. This is a proof that indeed, Guimaras is Mangoes and More!

“Paskwa sa Isla” organized by the Provincial Government of Guimaras aims to support the recovery of the micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), farmers, and fisher folks by generating tourism receipts and market opportunities.

Aside from Bangus Fair, “Paskwa sa Isla” also features trade fair, food festival, Light a Tree contest, Zumba dance contest, video making contest, mango selling, children’s Christmas costume party, Governor JC Rahman NAva 120KM Tour de Guimaras Cycling Challenge and live bands/busking.
