00:00 The Halal industry is continuously flourishing, not only in the Philippines, but also around the world.

00:06 This is also a source of employment and opportunities for Filipinos.

00:10 Let's watch this.

00:12 The Halal industry is not only flourishing in the Philippines, but also around the world.

00:27 What you can actually take from Halal is that it's not just about it being a religious practice.

00:34 Look at it as an additional assurance of quality.

00:39 In 2022, the global Halal food market size increased to P121.2 trillion.

00:45 This means that the industry is experiencing many opportunities and jobs.

00:51 Malaysia is one of the most important Halal industries in the world.

00:55 The Malaysia International Halal Showcase or MIHAS is held every year here.

01:00 This is a big event that contributes to the flourishing of small businesses.

01:07 Talking about SMEs, definitely we are actually helping them to be prepared.

01:17 Looking outside there as the potential market for them to expand their business.

01:23 MIHAS is a perfect platform to help the MSMEs.

01:27 This also strengthens the economic partnership between the Philippines and Malaysia.

01:32 Of course, the Philippines and Malaysia enjoy a very long relationship.

01:37 They are both members in ASEAN.

01:41 I myself have been to the Philippines a few times and I see there's a lot of interest.

01:47 Not just in Halal, but even in the general other products as well.

01:53 First of all, we can see quality products here because it's a government-initiated activity of the Malaysian government.

02:03 And we're very thankful for them in terms of supporting the businesses in the Philippines.

02:09 This also helps to lower the prices of goods in the country.

02:13 The important thing is to lower the prices of medicines.

02:17 But it's quality and affordable in the market and it helps Filipino consumers.

02:25 The consumption of Halal products is not only to fulfill religious obligations, but also to ensure the quality of these products.
