Indang, Cavite’s One Town, One Product

One Town One Product (OTOP) is an initiative of the Philippine government that supports start-ups and small companies. It strives to promote the goods and services of Filipino towns, cities, and regions.

The Kalamay Buna, also called the Kalamay Indang, is one of the many products promoted in the province of Cavite. It is originally produced in Indang, specifically in Buna Lejos, for almost a century.

Of course, through the help of the Department of Labor and Employment Regional Office IV-A (DOLE) and the local offices in the province and the municipality of Indang, the “Samahan ng mga Magkakalamay ng Buna Lejos” has been sponsored and assisted in improving their livelihood programs. And because of its rich history and delectable flavor, this delicacy has made its way into several national television shows and publishing houses.
