The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Office of Special Concerns, led by Assistant Secretary Dominic R. Tolentino, Jr., met with key figures from the Halal industry on September 11, 2024 in Makati City.
The meeting focused on exploring potential collaborations between the Kadiwa ng Pangulo Fair and the Halal Industry.
Present at the meeting were Aleem Guiapal, Project Manager of the Halal Industry Development and Nasser Deeb of Halal Expo Philippines.
The discussions revolved around integrating Halal-certified products into the Kadiwa ng Pangulo Fair, an initiative aimed at providing affordable and accessible goods to Filipino consumers.
The meeting explored ways to promote Halal products through the Kadiwa ng Pangulo Fair, ensuring that more Filipino Muslims can access Halal-certified options while also introducing these products to a broader audience.
This potential collaboration aligns with the DTI’s ongoing efforts to support the growth of the Halal industry in the Philippines, which has seen increasing demand both locally and internationally.
Further details on the collaboration will be announced as discussions progress.
