Last April 23 to May 09 2010 Pangasinan celebrates its Provincial Pista’y Dayat (Sea Festival). And Part of the Celebration was the Trade Expo. The Expo named: Aliguas ed Turism tan Ekonomiya” It is open to all Pangasinan LGUs and MSMEs (Micro-Small-Medium Enterprise) to showcase their prime tourist destinations, tourism services and local products. This is the first time LGU-Mabini joined the Trade Expo and garnered 3rd Prize in the Best LGU (Local Government Unit) OTOP (one town one product) booth category. LGU of Mabini transforms its 3 x3 meter nipa booth into a replica of a cave. This was to promote their caves in their place and to promote Balincaguin Conservancy (BC), a caving group based in Mabini as well. The booth was decorated as a cave entrance complete with cave walls, stalactites, and vines. Inside the photos of Mabini caves were displayed along with cave survey maps by BC. A popular display for photo ops was BC Buddy, a rice straw stuffed mannequin donning climbing equipment needed to go into vertical caves.
The 1st and 2nd places for the LGU OTOP category went to the Municipalities of San Fabian and Bautista respectively. The cash prizes were P10,000 for 1st, P7,000 for 2nd and PhP5,000 for 3rd places. Awarding of prizes was held last May 07 2010.
