Eid'l Fitr Celebrations to Promote Tourism in the Philippines

Wazzup Pilipinas!

The Department of Tourism (DOT) is very much involved in promoting Eid'l Fitr celebrations in the Philippines as another tourist attraction in the Philippines.

Events promoting Eid'l Fitr festivities are lined up at the Atrium of The Block at SM City North EDSA until August 18 to highlight the amazing culture and crafts of our Muslim brothers.

A mini-exhibit started the celebrations at the Podium in Ortigas Center last August 2 to 8 and then August 9 began the opening of the Eid'l Fitr Festival to greet everyone Eid Mubarak.

The Eid'l Fitr Festival is organized by the Magbassa Kita Foundation led by it's chairperson, former Senator Santaniuna Rasul is featuring a variety of activities from country displays by the different Islamic embassies in the country; institutional exhibits by LGUs, government agencies, and donor agencies working on peace and development initiatives; trade fair products from Mindanao; fashion exhibit on traditional Muslim attires; interactive Salam villages; and cultural presentations.

The sights, sounds and even the food during the opening of the festivities was remarkably fascinating. Do check out the details of the event from my previous blog:
