The Department of Science and Technology (DOST) Regional Office No.11 (DOST-XI), in partnership with the Philippine Women’s College (PWC) in Davao City, is set to launch the first Halal Kitchen in the country, which will serve as an innovation, research center, and demonstration site for Halal industry.

According to Mayan Jane J. Inni, Assistant Regional Director for DOST-XI, the agency saw that there is still a gap in promoting Halal and tourism, despite the past initiatives they have conducted like the Halal Verification and Laboratory and the research and development (R&D) component, where they also partnered with different higher education institutions (HEIs) and state universities and colleges (SUCs).

“The problem is we have very few halal-certified hotels and restaurants here in Davao. Recognizing that Davao is the potential hub or location for events like this in Mindanao and the Southern part of the country becomes a limitation for us. So that’s why through this partnership, we established the halal kitchen facility at PWC to provide the innovation and research center for the industry to know more and learn more and to adapt Halal and the provision of services especially for tourism and education,” Inni said.
