In a bid to make available options for Halal food and souvenirs for athletes, guests, and visitors of the 2019 South East Asian Games (30th SEA Games), the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), represented by the Export Marketing Bureau (EMB), Bureau of Domestic Trade Promotion (BDTP), and Regional Operations Group (ROG), has installed a temporary facility at the East Commercial Center, New Clark City, Tarlac in collaboration with Bases Conversion Development Authority (BCDA) and Philippine Exporters Confederation, Inc.

“This is an independent facility close to the main venue to make available food (including Halal and Muslim-friendly) and non-food products (souvenirs - Likha ng Central Luzon, Go Lokal, Bangon Marawi) in time for the 30th SEA Games. We are here to provide support and this is our way of contributing to the needs of this occasion,” DTI - Trade Promotions Group (TPG) Undersecretary Abdulgani M. Macatoman said.

This DTI initiative aims to collaborate with the private sector to make available Halal, Muslim-friendly concessionaires, and other Philippine products for the opening of the 30th SEA Games.

Featured concessionaires include La Rose Noire (Aqua Panem), Bricks and Copper, Asian Food Cuisine, Rajput Halal Pak Cuisine, Ate A Halal Food Services, and Hen Lin.
