MARAWI
CITY, Lanao del Sur, March 12 (PIA) --- Local bakers and chefs
showcased their talents in baking and cooking during 1st Food Bazaar and
Exhibit at the Provincial Capitol Tuesday, March 10.
The
1st Food Bazaar and Exhibit in this province was organized by the
Provincial Government in coordination with the Rotary Club to give local
bakers and chef an avenue to market their products.
Rotary
Club chairperson Raifa Rakiin-Adiong said the activity was intended to
help entrepreneurial women promote their own products.
“Lanao
del Sur constituents don’t actually need to go to other cities to buy
cakes and pasta. We have many local bakers and chefs who are highly
competitive. As you can see, they have delicious products,” she lauded.
The
bazaar and exhibit was the first of its kind in the province. It was
conducted in line with the celebration of the National Women’s Month
with the theme “Juana, Desisyon Mo ay Mahalaga sa Kinabukasan ng Bawat
Isa, Ikaw na!”
ARMM Vice-Governor Haroun Al-Rashid Lucman
lauded both the provincial government and exhibitors for forwarding
women empowerment and for showcasing their uniqueness in baking and
cooking, respectively.
“It’s great to see women as
forefront entrepreneurs because indeed they are important in the concept
of modern development,” he said.
Lucman boasts that the products are delicious and all well-made.
AnakMindanao
Representative, Sitti Djalia Turabin-Hataman, also graced the bazaar
and encouraged all women to use their passion, talents and skills in
money-making.
She emphasized that March is not the only
month for women to celebrate their rights and talents. “It is only a
reminder that throughout the year, we deserve the care, support, love,
attention, honor, and the recognition of our rights” she shared.
The
14 exhibitors garnered hundreds of visitors and buyers. The exhibit
happened simultaneously with the 1st Lanao del Sur Women Council
Orientation. (JNY/APB/PIA-10)
