Find out what awaits you in this year's most exciting agricultural event
Today marks the start of the three-day celebration of the Philippine Harvest where farmers across the country proudly brought their local products closer to our homes.
Now on its 2nd run with the Department of Tourism, this event highlights farm tourism, local food, and travel destinations around the country with the hopes of promoting the support of our country's gorgeous food, and the hard working people behind it all.
With the event entitled, “Philippine Harvest: Sustainable Living, Food, and Travel” the gathering also aims to promote sustainable farm tourism through mini-lectures organized by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) Philippines.
“At the core of our programs and projects in the Department is our sustainable and responsible tourism advocacy which we aim to promote with this edition of Philippine Harvest,” shared DOT Secretary Bernadette Romulo-Puyat. “We hope to develop sustainable farm tourism as a dependable source of income for Filipinos in line with implementation of the Farm Tourism Development Act of 2016, which serves as one of our strategies for countryside development.”
