Kultura brings together specialties from the country’s different regions.
Luzon features homegrown delicacies with bold flavors that represent the highlands of the North and farming plains of Central Luzon. These include pili cookies from Bicol, Arrowroot cookies from Gourmet Pantry, as well as coffee, salad dressings and other farm-grown favorites from Gourmet Farms
The fashion section has classic and contemporary barong and Filipiniana woven from natural fibers by Barong Filipino, Mayumi, Nuevo Ystilo, and Rurungan sa Tubod.

In the Visayas, traditional favorites are raised to artisanal levels by Don Papa Rum and Cebu Best dried mangoes dipped in premium chocolate. There are also popular treats such as mango otap, gourmet tuyo and peanut kisses from Gourmet Pantry.
Treasures from the sea like Mother-of-Pearl and capiz shells are transformed into elegant pieces for the home – by Kristine’s Shell, Shell Arts Chilonia and Graceland.

Mindanao’s distinct flavors are sourced from its rich landscapes: Cacao de Davao, muscovado sugar from Healthy Sweets, and the multi-awarded Malagos Chocolates.
Multicultural Mindanao is also a great source of inspiration for arts and crafts. There are precious pearls by Khai Pearl and coral jewelry from Asron from its deep blue seas.
