MANILA, Philippines — The fourth Pioneer Epoxy National Bangkarera (PENB) will be held in Naga City, Cebu from May 31 to June 2, Pioneer Adhesives, Inc. announced through a recent statement.

Over P1 million in cash and product prizes are at stake in this fourth installment of the annual event.

This year’s Bangkarera, staged in cooperation with Angat sa Dagat Organization, will have four different categories that participants can join in:

“By staging this annual national event, we’re giving our local fishermen and boat makers a platform where they can showcase their skills,” said Alben B. Manuel, assistant vice president – marketing head for Philippines and International Market Group of Pioneer Adhesives, Inc., during PENB 2018 held in Iloilo City.

“It’s also our way of giving back to all the members of their community, who have been using our products for the past 60 years,” he added.

The 2018 PENB recorded the largest number of participants with 58 teams and 155 boats — a marked increase from the previous year’s turnout.
