These were all initiated with the help of the private sector, Garcia shared with the judges, adding that these innovative programs brought huge impact to the lives of the people.

Products of local traders are also highlighted in the annual One Cebu exhibit which showcases the province’s world-class products. The academe, meanwhile, is also involved in a Capitol program where students work with entrepreneurs from the towns to help market their products.
