Smarting from the success of last year’s MaTahum nga Paskwa, the bright minds behind the Tahum Pop will once again set up shop. This time it will be at Iloilo Convention Center for shop loving Ilonggos. The letter dates are Feb. 2, Friday, to 4, Sunday.
Now on its sixth year, the pop-up event promises to be a shoppers’ haven. It will over again feature local products and foodies of pioneer, regular and new exhibitors to raise funds for scholars.
