PINOY FOOD IBIBIDA SA CALGARY

MATAPOS ang matagumpay na kick-off sa Vancouver, dadalhin ng Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) ang “Flavours of the Philippines” In-Store Promotion sa T&T Supermarket sa Pacific Place Mall, Calgary, Alberta simula Hunyo 8 hanggang Hunyo 10, 2018.

“It is very timely to showcase the quality of Filipino brands to celebrate our Filipino heritage in time with Independence Day,” wika ni DTI Senior Trade Commissioner Maria Roseni M. Alvero.

Sinimulan ng  T&T Supermarket na ipakita ang Filipino food sa mga stalls para sa Flavours of the Philippines sa pamamagitan ng pallet displays at  food tasting stations. Susundan ito ng seremonya sa Hunyo 9 sa Filipino-Canadian community kung saan ang mga dadalo ay hahandugan ng lively music at cultural performances ng Philippine Cultural Center Foundation.

Inaasahang sasalubungin ni Hon. Consul General Gilberto Asuque ang Filipino-Canadian at mainstream community sa Calgary sa naturang event.

“The event, considered to be a centerpiece trade and cultural program with the Philippine Consulate General in Calgary and the Department of Tourism in San Francisco, aims to reconnect Filipino-Canadians with the motherland in time for the celebration of the anniversary of Philippine Independence. It also aims to increase the consumer awareness and appreciation for Philippine food products among Canadian consumers.”

Ang long weekend festivities ay kabibilangan din ng cooking demonstrations ng masasarap na Filipino dishes at malaking discounts sa mga kilalang Filipino product.

“We hope that this event will contribute in raising the popularity of Philippine cuisine along the levels enjoyed by other internationally accepted Asian cuisine, ultimately towards increasing the level of Filipino food exports into Canada,” dagdag ni Alvero.
