The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) launched the National Halal Industry and Development Office (NHIDO) to drive the Philippines to the forefront of the global Halal industry by 2025.
File photo: Around 30 local merchants grace Manila’s first-ever halal food festival with their unique and authentic Filipino halal specialties at the Bonifacio Shrine or Kartilya ng Katipunan in Ermita, Manila. Some of the halal food offered in the festival were biryani, masala, pizza, smoked or grilled seafood, skewed beef and chicken strips and local desserts, among others.
According to DTI, this move aligns with the country’s aim to boost the domestic halal market and expand the export potential of Filipino products and services. The DTI explained that one of the key priorities of NHIDO is to simplify Halal certification and standards, ensuring easier access for medium, small, and micro enterprises .
“To achieve this, public awareness programs will be rolled out across various media platforms and through community outreach. These programs will emphasize the broader Halal landscape, correct misconceptions, and promote inclusivity.”
