History

OTOP was proposed by then-President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo as early as 2002[1] and launched in 2004. OTOP was originally scheduled to end in 2010. DBM dropped OTOP funding in spring 2011, however, current Filipino President Benigno 'Noynoy" Aquino has authorized the continuation of OTOP[2].

Examples of OTOP Products

OTOP products vary, and can include fruits, specialty dishes, or handmade products. Examples of OTOP products include Aribica coffee in the Cordillera region[3], cacao products in San Isidro in Davao del Norte[4], and brooms in Santa Fe in Nueva Vizcaya[5].
