MARAWI CITY, Lanao del Sur--The best of Marawi's local products and government's livelihood and employment services take center stage again for this year's Kawigayan.
Kawiyagan, a Maranao term for livelihood, was launched by the Subcommittee on the Business and Livelihood of Task Force Bangon Marawi (TFBM) in August 2018 to showcase the convergence of different government agencies and private organizations to aid internally displaced persons to recover from the siege through livelihood assistance.
This year, Kawiyagan features a trade, techo, and job fair, TVET enrollment, Business One-Stop Shop, orientation on civil documentation, and free haircut, manicure and pedicure services.
Another highlight is the conduct of Peace Walk - a fashion show showcasing the many faces of langkit, a multi-colored fabric used by Maranao's to style their clothing.
The Kawiyagan will be held from January 26 to 27 at the Covered Court of Marawi City Hall.
