The week-long trade fair also includes business matching sessions, buyers’ programs, sustainability-focused learning activities, the launch of the Padday na Lima Website 2.0, and the debut of the official Padday na Lima jingle, strengthening market access and digital visibility for participating MSMEs.

As one of the country’s premier regional trade fairs, Padday na Lima continues to empower Filipino entrepreneurs by promoting sustainable entrepreneurship, preserving cultural heritage, and expanding business opportunities for local enterprises.
