MARKETING PLAN

1.1 Description of the Product

Pastillas is one the favorite food being consumed by most of the Filipino. Their

sweet tooth craves for the milky and flavor taste engraved at the pastillas itself. Different

flavors and styles have been used from time to time to attract more people and create a

link between the consumer and its producer. It is commonly eaten as snack or as a

pika-pika on some of the events.

The Philippines, an agricultural economy is abundant in ampalaya vegetable

which is known as a very nutritious vegetable but has a bitter taste. The ampalaya is

sometimes mixed-up with some other dishes such as eggs and other vegetable just to

lessen its bitter taste.

That’s why the researchers came up of a project which uses ampalaya as the

main ingredient and lessening its bitter taste. This business project can help improve

the health condition of the country which is slowly deteriorating because of the

widespread of non-nutritious foods consumed by people.
