FAST Logistics Group, the Philippines’ leading end-to-end logistics solutions provider, is supporting micro, small, and medium enterprises from the Bicol Region at the upcoming 33rd Orgullo Kan Bicol (OKB) Regional Trade Fair, happening October 15-19 at Festival Mall Alabang.
The OKB Regional Trade Fair is the flagship trade show of the Bicol Region, spotlighting 100 local entrepreneurs who embody their creativity and craftsmanship. FAST, through its nationwide logistics network and expertise, is ensuring that Bicol’s finest products reach the trade fair venue safely, efficiently, and on time.
This is part of the company’s many initiatives to empowering Filipino entrepreneurs to grow, connect, and compete in wider markets.
“FAST is honored to be a trusted logistics partner of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) from the Bicol Region,” said FAST CEO for Logistics Manuel L. Onrejas Jr. “Our mission has always been to move Filipino businesses forward, and that includes empowering local producers by giving them seamless access to wider markets.”
FAST has introduced its hub-to-door logistics solution — a convenient and cost-effective way to transport bottled products, handicrafts, and clothing proudly made by entrepreneurs from the Bicol Region. MSMEs in Bicol simply drop off their products at any of the FAST Full Service Outlets, and FAST takes care of ensuring safe, secure, and affordable delivery to customers in Metro Manila and nearby areas.
OKB 2025 will feature pili nut delicacies, coconut and cacao-based treats, woven and abaca goods, pottery, wellness items, and marine products. Local artworks are also available, offering visitors an authentic taste of Bicol’s culture and ingenuity.
Platform for Product Showcase
“OKB continues to be a platform where our local entrepreneurs can proudly present what Bicol has to offer,” said Mr. Dindo G. Nabol, Regional Director of the Department of Trade and Industry Region 5.
“Through this event, we reaffirm our commitment to helping MSMEs grow by connecting them with new opportunities, expanding their networks, and strengthening their capabilities.”
Ms. Erika Pereña, President of the OKB Association and owner of C.O.P. Pili Sweets and Pastries, emphasized this year’s trade fair aims to showcase not only the region’s finest products but also the stories behind each brand.
“Every item you’ll find at OKB 2025 carries a piece of Bicol: its people, culture, and passion,” Pereña shared. “We’re excited to bring our entrepreneurs to Alabang and share our homegrown talents with a wider audience.”
