Senator Pia Cayetano (inset, upper photo) who just dropped by during the occasion truly appreciated Bicolano craftsmanship. Former Board Member Ernie Verdadero (upper right photo) who represented Governor LRay Villafuerte said that the success of OTOP here in the province complements the tourism thrust of the provincial government. The province is now number one among key tourist destinations of the country in terms of the most number of tourist arrivals. Ms. Edna S.
