DAVAO CITY -- The ongoing Mindanao Trade Expo (MTE) at Glorietta Mall in Makati City earned P1 million in sales when it opened on October 2.
This was disclosed by MTE Foundation, Inc. (MTEFI), which brought MTE to the nation's capital.
MTE is one of Mindanao’s most thriving market encounters, promoting Mindanao products to new local and foreign markets. A total of 32 exhibitors, including some of Mindanao’s best products and services, are part of the trade exposition.
The Glorietta event, which will run until October 5, signifies another major step for MTE, which is a result of a strengthened partnership between MTEFI and Ayala Malls. The latter offered a wider market for Mindanao products and services.
MTEFI president Dr. Rosevic del Rosario-Cembrano said the exhibit in Glorietta was carefully planned and they took this opportunity as soon as it presented itself because such venue has so much potential in market expansion.
“We wanted to maximize this opportunity from the Ayala Malls. It has always been the desire of MTEFI to provide all avenues where the Mindanawon entrepreneurs can promote their products and services and expand their markets,” Cembrano said.
The four-day MTE Glorietta 2017 highlights the following: (1) a showcase of Mindanao’s best highlighting the products qualified for DTI’s banner programs, Go Lokal and OTOP Next Gen; (2) a special setting of new product designs as an offshoot of the previously conducted design consultations; (3) business matching between Mindanao entrepreneurs and Manila-based companies; and (4) another special setting featuring the culture and products of the Matigsalug tribe of Davao City.
It can be recalled that the Matigsalug tribe’s products and their brand, “Nasabeka,” was two months ago at the MTE 2017 in Abreeza Ayala Mall, Davao City.
The project is a product of the partnership among DTI-Davao Region, AboitizPower subsidiary Therma South Inc., Aboitiz Foundation, Inc. and the Matigsalug Council of Elders Marilog District Davao City, Inc. (Macoemddci). (Jennifer Mendoza/PNA)
