Wazzup Pilipinas!
All I could say was "Wow!" when I saw how really vast the usage of the coconut was. The free event celebrating the versatile coconut and its various usage confirmed the facts that the coconut indeed is the most useful fruit ... or nut!
Sampling some of the coconut food products were appreciated and buying some non-food products for take-home souvenirs made my day. The lectures on the latest technologies related to the coconut industry was also a worthwhile reason why I stopped to sit down and listen intently.
The Philippine Coconut Authority (PCA) in coordination with the private sector spearheaded the celebration of the 27th National Coconut Week and 12th Coconut Festival at the Mega Trade Hall of SM Megamall, Mandaluyong City a few weeks ago.
This year's theme was "Biyaya ng Niyugan, Kaunlaran ng Bayan", an apt label to the benefits derived from the coconut and its contribution to the country's economy.
