Pormal nang binuksan ang OTOP Hub sa Santiago Public Market 1 sa pamamagitan ng isang ribbon-cutting ceremony, na naglalayong mas ipakilala at mapalaganap ang mga Santiagueña Heirloom Products kung saan bida ang mga pagkain at produktong ipinasa sa mga salinlahi at gawa mula sa all-natural ingredients, Agosto 19.

Tampok sa OTOP Hub ang iba’t ibang lokal na pagkain at produkto na sumasalamin sa tradisyon at pagkakakilanlan ng mga Santiagueño, habang binibigyang pagkakataon ang mga lokal na producers na mas mapalawak ang kanilang merkado.

Dumalo sa isinagawang seremonya si Mayor Atty. Sheena P. Tan, bilang pagpapakita ng suporta sa pagsusulong ng mga lokal na produkto at kabuhayan sa lungsod.

Sa pamamagitan ng OTOP Hub, layunin na mas mapalakas ang pagkilala sa mga produktong Santiagueño at maitaguyod ang mga produktong gawa ng mga lokal na producers para mas marami pang mamimili ang makilala at tangkilikin ang mga ito.

Today, Isabela State University (ISU) formalized a partnership with the Provincial Government of Isabela and the Local Climate Change Adaptation for Development (LCCAD) through the ceremonial signing of a Framework Agreement (FA) held at Balai, Provincial Capitol, City of Ilagan, Isabela.

The partnership seeks to advance the establishment and development of the Creative Industries, Innovation, and Sustainability Policy International Institute (CRIISPII), envisioned as a platform for technical collaboration, knowledge generation, capacity development, and policy support in the areas of culture and creative industries, innovation, sustainability, climate resilience, and related climate services.

Under the Framework Agreement, the Provincial Government of Isabela, ISU, and LCCAD will strengthen cooperation and complementation in technical collaboration, capacity development, modernization and digitalization, creative industries development, sustainability, and climate-related initiatives. These efforts will extend support to national government agencies, local government units (LGUs), local state colleges and universities, the academe, private sector, development partners, civil society organizations, and vulnerable sectors of society.

The agreement also aims to promote, institutionalize, and strengthen Local Culture and the Arts Councils (LCACs) across the Province of Isabela as key platforms for cultural governance, creative industries development, and community participation. It seeks to integrate LCACs into local development planning, climate resilience strategies, and sustainability initiatives in accordance with relevant national laws and policies.

As a key academic and technical partner, ISU will contribute its expertise and institutional resources through several areas of collaboration.

The University will provide technical expertise, research, and scientific support in climate science, environmental management, land use planning, sustainability, cultural mapping, and heritage conservation. It will also lead the development of knowledge products, including studies on culture-based development, creative industries, and the role of LCACs in promoting sustainable local governance.

ISU will further deliver capacity development and extension services for LGUs and LCACs, including training in cultural documentation, creative economy development, and the integration of culture into local planning processes.

The partnership will likewise support the integration of academic, scientific, and local and Indigenous knowledge systems, strengthening the contribution of culture and heritage to sustainability, climate resilience, and community development. It will also facilitate the engagement of students, faculty, and the University as an institution in cultural preservation, creative innovation, and community-based cultural programs in partnership with LGUs and LCACs.

𝐂𝐚𝐛𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐧, 𝐈𝐬𝐚𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐚 𝐄𝐧𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐬 𝐌𝐈𝐓𝐇𝐈 𝐎𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐋𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐲

CABAGAN, ISABELA — The Municipality of Cabagan has made history as the first municipality in the Province of Isabela to pass an ordinance promoting and developing the Creative Industry, or Malikhaing Industriya para sa Trabaho, Husay, at Inobasyon (MITHI).

The landmark ordinance recognizes the creative industry as an important contributor to local economic development, employment generation, entrepreneurship, innovation, tourism, and cultural preservation.

💡 What's in store for Cabagan's creatives?
✅ A Local Culture and Arts Council (LCAC) to lead implementation
✅ A Creative Industry Database to register local creatives and creative enterprises
✅ Priority access to municipal projects, exhibits, trade fairs, and grants
✅ A Creative Incentives and Grants Program for creative startups
✅ Annual Philippine Creative Industry Month celebration every September

As the first municipality in Isabela to institutionalize a local policy specifically focused on the creative industry, Cabagan sets a pioneering example for other local government units to recognize creativity as a strategic component of local economic development.

The initiative is led by Hon. Mila T. Albano-Mamauag, Municipal Mayor, and Hon. Ferdinand R. Fugaban, Municipal Vice Mayor, together with the members of the Sangguniang Bayan of Cabagan. The ordinance was sponsored by Hon. Erasmo T. Guingab, Chairman, Committee on Trade, Industry, and Investment; and Hon. Sheila Marie B. Aggabao-Sia, Chairman, Committee on Tourism, Arts, and Culture.

The MITHI Ordinance is more than a policy—it is a commitment to empower people to transform their talent into opportunity, creativity into enterprise, and innovation into inclusive economic growth.
