Tabo sa Plaza resumes
The “Tabo sa Plaza,” one of the activities of the Provincial Government of Bohol (PGBh) facilitated by the Office of the Provincial Agriculturist (OPA) will resume operations on March 18, 2020, in its new location at the back of the new Capitol Building.
Latest developments came after the previous “Tabo” was temporarily stopped since February last year due to the on-going renovation of the Plaza Rizal in front of the old capitol.
Dr. Larry M. Pamugas, Officer-In-Charge, OPA said that the purpose of this endeavor is to assist farmers market their farm products and set up link with institutional buyers.
Pamugas stressed that this will also cater to the needs of the Boholano buying public to include capitol employees to buy the farm products at a lower price compared to that in the market.
He said that in the Tabo sa Plaza, “we can buy the naturally grown vegetables and pork meat, Boholano favorite delicacies (suman, budbod, poto, bingka, galang-galang) and rice among others from our exhibitors which are the following: Kapunungan sa mga Bol-anong Organikong Mag-uuma (KBoOM), Association of Individual Moving (AIM) for Progress in Balilihan, FCB Foundation, Bohol Association of Natural Livestock Growers (BANaLiG), Jagna Small Enterprises Development (JSED) and other individual entrepreneurs”.
Pamugas thanked Gov. Art C. Yap for granting the use of the back portion of the capitol where the tents are installed as the venue for the display of farm products from the exhibitors every Wednesday.
To date, there is no assurance yet if the operation of the Tabo sa Plaza will be backed at the Plaza Rizal once the renovation has been completed as preferred by the exhibitors because it is accessible for the buying public especially to the churchgoers. (Atoy Cosap)
