"We have products from various countries, and these products are very unique. They're not easily available in the market in the Philippines," Baluyot-Jimenez said during a press conference in Pasay City on Monday.

"We also have Philippine-based booths that will be showcasing Philippine products," she added.

Among the embassies participating in the International Bazaar are from the United States, Singapore, India and Indonesia.

The Women's Board of St. Luke's Medical Center will also join this year's International Bazaar with products such as the 25-inches real Christmas tree with handcrafted bead ornaments and the hand-painted bibs.

The event aims to generate charitable capital and provides services that contribute to the health and well-being to its beneficiaries.
