ABRA MSME EMERGES AS TOP SELLER AT WOMEN STRONG NETWORK TRADE FAIR

A proud moment for Abra’s loomweaving industry!

Trixie Dhels Loomweaving, owned and managed by Mrs. Brigilda Belisario of Bulbulala, La Paz, Abra, emerged as the Top Seller in the Non-Food Category during the Women Strong Network Hybrid Trade Fair at SM Megamall.

The recognition highlights the quality, craftsmanship, and market potential of Abra’s loomwoven products, while showcasing the determination of our women entrepreneurs and artisans.

Trixie Dhels is based in Bulbulala, Abra’s declared OTOP Village, where loomweaving remains an important source of livelihood and pride.

The achievement is even more meaningful as the community recently experienced flooding that caused losses to farms and livestock. The opportunity to sell in Manila provided a much-needed boost as they work to recover and rebuild.

From flood losses to a top-selling success—Trixie Dhels shows that when resilience meets opportunity, Abra’s MSMEs can rise and thrive.

Congratulations, Mrs. Belisario and the Trixie Dhels team!
