THE Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), in collaboration with the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI) Makati, unveiled a strategic initiative during the PCCI’s Second General Membership Meeting at the Makati Diamond Residences Legaspi Ballroom. 

Under the partnership, it aims to establish a Halal Hub in Makati City and position the Philippines as a pivotal player in the rapidly growing global Halal market.

Secretary Alfredo E. Pascual emphasized the significance of this partnership in supporting the development and promotion of the Halal industry within the Philippines. 

The collaboration, formalized through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), is designed to enhance the industry’s infrastructure and increase its global market reach.

The envisioned Makati Halal Hub is set to be a central point for innovation and business in the Halal sector, spanning a variety of industries including food production, financial services, and more. 

This initiative is expected to provide substantial opportunities for Filipino entrepreneurs and international investors alike, fostering a robust economic ecosystem.
