  • Naga Smiles Magazine
    The first of its kind in the country Great Naga Sale By PAUL JOHN F. BARROSA THERE’S nothing more that delights a shopper than when her favorite store goes on sale. On that special day, people rush to the mall or tiangee offering products at great discounts, making them buy more for less, especially in these hard times. Now, what happens when all the malls and business establishments in the city simultaneously declare a sale for, say, six days? The city government here led by City Mayor John G. Bongat kicked off the First Great Naga Sale on August 27 until September 1, in collaboration with the Department of Trade and Industry, the Metro Naga Chamber of Commerce and Industry and all the business establishments in the city. Mayor Bongat said the trading event is aimed at perking up local business and sales through private and public partnership especially during the lean month of August when everybody is looking forward to the celebration of the Penafrancia fiesta every September, which incidentally this year marks the 300th year of the Bicolanos’ devotion to the Blessed Virgin of Penafrancia, patroness of Bicolandia. Over 3 million visitors, pilgrims and devotees are expected to flock to Naga to be part of that grand historic celebration that will last from the first week to the third week of September. “Great Naga Sale” is all about business establishments in the city offering sales discounts from 10% to 50% and even more on their goods and services. Customers and shoppers from all over Bicol and beyond will have more to fill their shopping bags while being lavished with various special events lined up for the duration of the trading extravaganza.
