DAVAOEÑOS AND TOURISTS alike flocked to the exhibits of Zamboanga City during the four-day Mindanao Trade Exposition (MTE) held at the Abreeza Mall in Davao City.
The local government of Zamboanga through its Investment Promotions and Services Division sent 5 exhibitors to the annual expo which offered a glimpse of the city’s rich cultural heritage and colorful history.
The MTE coincided with Davao City’s Kadayawan Festival and Zamboanga’s exhibitors attracted a huge crowd. Among them were Angie’s Yakan Handloom Weaving that showcased arts and crafts handmade from Yakan cloth on Basilan province; KGD Infinite Fashion whose fresh water pearl jewelleries are most sought-after.
And Alexis Artworks which is well-known for its multimedia framed artworks; Gab Creation Handcraft which showcased dolls made from discarded objects and materials; and RK Trading Enterprises whose Gourmet Tuyo, Spanish Sardines, Sardine Pate, Pickled Cucumber, and Peanut Brittle were all sold out.
Zamboanga City also generated some P90 million worth of investment during a separate Investment Priorities Plan Roadshows in the Zamboanga Peninsula.
The Board of Investments (BOI) said some 180 participants attended the roadshow spread across several locations in the region covering Zamboanga City and the provinces of Zamboanga del Sur, Zamboanga del Norte and Zamboanga Sibugay.
Zamboanga del Sur Provincial Trade Director Jamir Omar Abubakar lauded the BOI for bringing the roadshows to all the provinces of Zamboanga Peninsula to communicate investment opportunities and information on fiscal and non-fiscal incentive to local businessmen as these small businesses will be linked and become contributors to the attainment of the national development agenda.
