The last day of the Grade 12 Students' Trade Fair still has the sweetness and fun as if it is just getting started! Although the trade fair approaches its conclusion, the energy of Grade 12 ABM Students in APEC Ortigas Extension while selling their goods remains high. The enthusiasm in their voices was still there as they welcomed the last batch of students from the March 2 PM shift. The room that they used, 301, was decorated in bright colors to match the products of the three groups. The Sweet Home, Morderno PastillaZ, and Jelly Tubs of Love had their products sold out before the afternoon shift break ended!

While the products the ABM students were selling were all delicious and left you wishing for more, we can't hold it against them if they sold out or if many people purchased from them.A couple of them made comments about the high cost, but this didn't stop them from buying the food owing to its appealing packaging, and delightful flavor.Furthermore, they mentioned that they enjoyed tasting all the different foods.

Wrapping up the Trade Fair, the Ates and Kuyas have shown a good example to clean as you go as they remove the designs that they prepared. They were also giving away some of their designs like balloons to the passing students so they wouldn't go to waste. The Grade 12 students also stated that it was enjoyable to sell to other grades, but it was also exhausting due to the large number of people purchasing food.

How was your overall experience at the fair? Are you one of those who weren’t able to buy the Graham Balls of Sweet Home? Were you able to taste the isaw pastillas from Morderno PastillaZ? How about the Mango Tapioca and Buko Pandan from Jelly Tubs of Love? 

Hope everyone had fun at this year’s Trade Fair!
