One afternoon in One Visayas

This afternoon, the good daughter..(ehem, that's me *wink*) went with her mom to CICC to see the ONE VISAYAS EXPO. Despite a tiring morning in school, the good daughter (ehem..me, remember?) drove her mom and her aunt to check out the exhibits, crafts, delicacies and shows in CICC. It was not what she expected..not many people actually took time to see the various exhibits prepared the CEBU PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT and other agencies.
Inside the CICC hall were various booths representing all key provinces in the Visayas and towns in Cebu. Each booth displayed their very own produce, product, delicacies which they are known for. The booth also showcased their must-go places to inform prospective tourists where to go and what to see. Delicacies like buwad from Bantayan, Dulong and Guava Jelly from Bohol, Bibingka in mandaue, Titay's from Lilo-an, Chicharon and ampao from Carcar, Peanut kisses in bohol also were a bounty and for sale at reasonably lesser price. Crafts like abaca bags and pina barong from Antique, wood furnitures from Bohol, bags and placemats from negros, sungka-an from bohol, decorative lamps were up so sale to anyone who can afford.. (a bit expensive but worth it). Blings like bangles, necklace, rings etc were selling like hotcakes for the fashionistas who ventured the hall and bargained with the sellers for a good price... The good daughter rewarded herself with a big bracelet made of precious stones and lava like gems sold at a reasonable rate of P200.00 only..
As the good daughter exited the exhibit hall, the Loboc Childrens Choir were busy preparing for their show inside the CICC main hall lobby.. outside the parking area, street dancing and festive drumbeat filled the entire CICC Complex as the ONE VISAYAS expo comes to a conclusion tonight.
It was a quick tour and a sneak peek of the beautiful VISAYAS... It may not be that impressive but it is after all a first of its kind. The good daughter went home satisfied and brought home, Dulong, Buwad,Guava Jelly and her new bracelet.
