Thanks Ganda Negosyo for the ticket complement, the fondness of going to an expo sparked anew. Going to the expo is more than a sensory engagement
but rather a sensible journey on how the food industry evolves with market
trends, and technology aside from traditional delicacies upgraded with new
presentations.

A
gathering crowd was forming on my way out. A figure emerged out of the selfie
chasers. It's a lady reemerging from a familiar time and it’s such a pleasant surprise to see Senator Imee Marcos in
the house. But not without a loot of goodies or budols, taking advantage of its
marked-down price.
