Thursday, November 08, 2007 Mati launches 'Madayaw Mati'
TO MOTIVATE its people to become more entrepreneurial, the City Government of Mati, through the City Investment and Tourism Office, has organized a project dubbed as "Madayaw Mati."
The local government unit (LGU) of Mati expects that this project will augur well for entrepreneurship, livelihood, and domestic tourism in the province of Davao Oriental.
One of the highlights of "Madayaw Mati" is the staging of a mini-trade fair tagged as, "Market-Market", which will be conducted every weekend starting September 15 until December of this year at the Mati Park and Baywalk.
The "Market-Market" project was conceptualized by Louis N. Rabat, president of the Davao Oriental Eastern Chamber of Commerce and Industry Inc. (DOECCII) and concurrent chair of the provincial Small and Medium Enterprise Development Council (SMEDC).
The project is implemented by the DOECCI, Mati City Investment and Tourism Office, and Department of Trade and Industry -Davao Oriental Provincial Office (DTI-DO).
"We are envisioning the Market-Market to be among the many crowd-drawing activities of the Madayaw Mati project," Rabat said.
The organizers jointly said the "Market-Market" is conceptualized in order to provide brisk marketing opportunities for micro entrepreneurs who are engaged in manufacturing and processing of resource-based products.
Booths will be provided and no participation fee will be collected.
The organizers are urging all producers of Davao Oriental who are into manufacturing or processing to participate in the trade fair.
