Coconut products

Coconuts are one of the most important products in the Philippines, with it being one of our primary products exported to under countries. It is no surprise that many local entrepreneurs have come up with unique ways to use every part of the fruit ensuring nothing goes to waste.

Which is why one can easily find twists to classic coconut products such as spicy coconut vinegar, delectable coconut jam, and all-natural coconut sugar - guaranteed to be a delicious yet healthier alternative to the store bought items  that we've grown accustomed to.

Handwoven  items

The Philippines is currently the world’s top Abaca producer, with many local products making use of the flexible yet durable leaf to make a wide assortment of goods. 

Available in the bazaar are bags, slippers, and purses made entirely out of handwoven abaca leaves and other durable plant products. The simple yet elegant styles are distinctly local – but one can remain confident that these items will last for a long time. The best part is that they are very affordable only costing Php 150 - Php 200 each

Vinegar with a punch!
