Sweet prospects for Filo chocolates and artisan crafts: “WE have a great selection of products that can be customized to a care package, home baking sets, chocolate bars gift sets, chocolate drinks and tableya gift sets.” Such is the promise of Filo Artisan Trade on its website, and they’re committed to deliver, according to its proprietor Christopher Uson (right) who recently visited the Consulate. “We support SMEs of our kababayans in their efforts to venture into the Australian market,” enthused Consul General Maria Lourdes Salcedo. The cacao products are mostly sourced from Mindanao. Also in the photo with a Philippine-handcrafted stainless steel silver jug and wooden stirrer for hot choco drink is Deputy Consul General Anthony Mandap.
