The Provincial Government of Bulacan, through the Provincial Agriculture Office (PAO), in coordination with the Provincial Veterinary Office (PVO) and the Provincial Cooperative and Enterprise Development Office (PCEDO), met with the Philippines Partnership for Sustainable Agriculture (PPSA) on September 1, 2026 at the PAO Building to explore possible collaboration in strengthening the province’s coffee and poultry value chains. The meeting was led by PAO Head Ma. Gloria SF Carrillo, together with Leandro “Dax” Gazmin, Executive Director of PPSA, and representatives from the concerned provincial offices.

Discussions focused on potential interventions to improve the competitiveness, sustainability, and market access of Bulacan’s coffee and poultry producers. Among the opportunities explored was the possible use of the Competitiveness Enhancement Measure Fund (CEMF) to support appropriate projects, including a proposed poultry waste treatment facility that can promote better waste management while creating value from its outputs. PPSA may also assist in linking producers to appropriate technologies and potential markets or off-takers.

For the coffee sector, the group discussed strengthening the value chain through improved producer profiling, identification of potential partners, and appropriate technical and market support. The collaboration aims to bring together the resources and expertise of the provincial government and PPSA to develop practical interventions responsive to the needs of local producers.

The meeting concluded with an agreement to further consolidate producer profiles, identify potential partners, and continue discussions toward developing viable projects. The initiative reflects the Provincial Government’s continuing effort to build partnerships that can provide Bulacan farmers and poultry raisers with opportunities to become more competitive, sustainable, and market-ready.

The Provincial Government of Bulacan, through the Provincial Cooperative and Enterprise Development Office (PCEDO), joined the Opening Ceremony and Ribbon Cutting of the 14th Bulacan Food Fair and Exposition (BUFFEX 2026) on September 1 at The Pavilion, Hiyas ng Bulacan Convention Center, City of Malolos, reaffirming its commitment to strengthening local micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) and cooperatives. Now on its 14th year, BUFFEX, themed “Flavors Without Borders: Empowering Local MSMEs – Local Flavors. Global Opportunities,” has grown beyond a food exposition into a platform for MSME development, market access, innovation, entrepreneurship, and the promotion of Bulacan’s rich culture and local products.

Highlighting the opening was the presence of Governor Daniel R. Fernando, who underscored the Provincial Government’s continuing support for Bulacan’s MSMEs and cooperatives. In his message, the Governor emphasized the importance of sustaining programs and activities that create opportunities for local entrepreneurs, while encouraging everyone to continue serving, innovating, and supporting initiatives that help Bulakenyo enterprises grow. His message of “tuloy lang ang paglilingkod” reflects the province’s continuing commitment to provide meaningful support and opportunities for its entrepreneurs and cooperatives, recognizing their vital role in creating livelihoods and strengthening the local economy. Also gracing the occasion was Vice Governor Alexis C. Castro, who highlighted the importance of promoting Bulacan’s own products, enterprises, and culture through initiatives such as BUFFEX and Explore Bulacan.

The opening likewise brought valuable perspectives on taking Bulacan products to wider markets. Ma. Lourdes D. Mediran, Deputy Executive Director of the Center for International Trade Expositions and Missions (CITEM), the Philippine government's export promotion authority attached to the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), challenged local entrepreneurs to bring the best of Bulacan products to the global market. Her message also called for Bulacan to establish a Bulacan Pavilion in CITEM activities in 2027, giving local MSMEs a stronger platform to showcase their products and explore international market opportunities. Meanwhile, Leandro “Dax” Gazmin, Executive Director of the Philippines Partnership for Sustainable Agriculture (PPSA), highlighted the value of sustainable agribusiness, learning, and knowledge-sharing among the government, private sector, and other stakeholders. PPSA’s participation further strengthens the event’s focus on practical learning, innovation, and market-oriented approaches for local enterprises and agricultural value chains.

As BUFFEX 2026 continues, the event stands as a testament to the growing potential of Bulacan’s entrepreneurial community. Through the continued partnership of the Provincial Government, PCEDO, Bulacan Chamber of Commerce and Industry, national government agencies, and the private sector, local entrepreneurs are given opportunities not only to showcase what Bulacan can produce, but also to learn, connect, innovate, improve their competitiveness, and reach bigger markets. After 14 years, BUFFEX carries a bigger purpose: to transform Bulacan’s local flavors, products, and enterprise stories into opportunities that can reach beyond the province—and, ultimately, the global market.
