The upcoming 10th Bagsakan is being organized by the DTI-BDTP in coordination with the DTI Central Luzon regional office, particularly the DTI-Bulacan and DTI-Bataan provincial offices.
Since the 1st Bagsakan Sale last March, the DTI-BDTP has helped generate over PHP 2-million in cumulative sales for farmers, fruit growers, and other MSMEs by promoting their products on social media to reach consumers and buyers. At the same time, the Bagsakan Project helped ensure the availability of food supplies for the public even during the enhanced community quarantine, in adherence to the “Bayanihan to Heal as One Act.” The project has helped MSMEs and farmers from the provinces of Pangasinan, Tarlac, Pampanga, Bulacan, Bataan, Zambales, Laguna, Camarines Sur, and Guimaras.
