The University of the Philippines Baguio’s arts and crafts fair served as a venue to showcase works and products of local artists and artisans as part of the Cordillera Day Program 2020 held on 15 July 2020.
The artisan’s market called “Mandeko Kito!” which has been running since 15 June 2020, was held at the Sunshine Park in celebration of the 33 rd founding anniversary of the Cordillera Administrative Region.
