00:11That's the center of the news, Gav Villegas.
00:16Marikina City is known for its high quality shoes.
00:20But did you know that the city is slowly becoming known for its coffee shops?
00:24The news team asked, why do they like to drink coffee?
00:28It's delicious to taste and it wakes me up when I do my schoolwork.
00:33How about you?
00:34I was just encouraged.
00:38Marikina LGU invited the first-ever Marikina Coffee Festival
00:44to be held by the SK Federation and Marikina Tourism Office.
00:47This is where the various coffee shops in the city are located
00:49where the best sellers of coffee are the stars.
00:53According to Marikina City Mayor, Marcy Teodoro,
00:55the activity of many visitors in the city,
00:59plus the mayor,
01:00will also help in the production of coffee in the country.
01:03Many of these coffee shops were established during the pandemic
01:11as an alternative livelihood.
01:14So the entrepreneurial spirit of our coffee shop owners
01:21can be significantly felt at this point.
01:26I'm very happy that we have this opportunity.
01:30According to the Marikina Business Processing and Licensing Office,
01:34there are 220 coffee shops in the city.
01:37The coffee shop owner, Shelly,
01:39is happy that more customers are coming to her place.
01:43I think we haven't started yet,
01:45but there are already a lot of people coming
01:47because of the design.
01:48The lineup of our drinks is our signature drinks,
01:53so it's unique for the taste of others.
01:56Marikina LGU and SK Federation hope
01:59that more coffee booths will be held at the coffee festival
