OTOP CENTER INAUGURATED
Gov. Erico Aumentado led officials in inaugurating the One-Town-One Product (OTOP) Center of Inabanga town on October 14, 2005.
" I was not wrong in choosing Inabanga to be the beneficiary of the P1 million from the Office of the President under the Isang Milyong Piso, Isang Produkto program," Aumentado remarked after touring the display area, weaving section, dyeing and bleaching and raw material preparation area of the center.
Noting the fine finished products like placemats, raffia rolls, bags, throw pillow cases and others, a visibly impressed Aumentado said he realized that the wall decor in his hotel room in Tokyo, Japan and in New York City could be Inabanga products.
The inauguration was graced by government officials from DTI 7 headed by RD Asteria C. Caberte and PD Ma. Elena C. Arbon, representatives from cooperating line agencies, Congressman Roberto Cajes, mayors headed by the host Mayor Josephine Socorro Jumamoy of Inabanga, representatives of cooperating NGOs, and most especially the weavers representing the loomweaving groups in the municipalities of Tubigon, Danao and Inabanga.
The industry directly benefits 2,000 workers and over 5,000 support workers.
