For almost seven years now since 2006, the city’s dried fish (Uga) and other marine products have proven to be the best selling products in the whole province as Cadiz maintained its unbreakable record as TOP GROSSER during the 19th Panaad Sang Negros Festival on April 9-15.
The one- week celebration had incurred consolidated sales of P762,347.75 as compared to last year’s gross sales of P746,812.60.
