IN WHAT LOOKS more like an effort to promote southern cuisines, the Manila City government hinted on the idea of coming up with the so-called Halal Town in Quiapo, Manila.
To begin with, Manila City Mayor Isko Moreno took Department Budget and Management (DBM) Secretary Amenah Pangandaman to a field inspection along the Arch of Globe De Oro at the Quiapo Mosque to discuss and present plans for the proposed Halal Town.
At the same time, they tasted food served to Muslim brothers and sisters in the area. Among those in attendance were Vice Mayor Chi Atienza and Cristal Bagatsing Head of the Department of Tourism Culture and Arts of Manila. (ITOH SON)
