KAWIT, Cavite -- If you are craving for "tapsilog" (beef, served with fried rice and egg) or taste a variety of "kakanin" (sticky rice cakes), or just considering buying metal works from blacksmiths for home use or unique gift this Christmas season, then bring your eco-bag, some cash and head out to this town's Liwasang Aguinaldo (Aguinaldo Shrine) located at Kaingen village here.

This town's four-day local expo, dubbed #OneLoveOneKawit, which offers a variety of things, events and leisure spots, food delicacies and much more, opened Wednesday with Mayor Angelo Emilio Aguinaldo leading other local officials in the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Local Tourism Officer Rhouz Camposanto, in an interview, said the event is one of the town's aggressive approaches to make known the other interesting offerings, aside from the countless heritage and historical sites, with the iconic Aguinaldo Shrine serving as a backdrop.

The event will also "help promote these local products to a bigger, wider market and our way to pay tribute to local individuals who have worked so hard for economic sustainability," he said.
