It was on the 29th day of May 2020 that we decided to bring Halal food products in our community in Marawi City, Lanao del Sur, Philippines. We were only offering our products online through Facebook. At first, it was only to contribute additional income for the family but we were overwhelmed by the good feedbacks that we were receiving. It became our mission to make halal food products accessible to every Muslim Filipino household especially in our hometown in Marawi City. As you all know, it has been three years now since the war has taken place in Marawi. The center of the commercial area became the epicenter of the war thus business establishments were heavily affected. It becomes more difficult for the Maranao (People of Lanao) when the pandemic strikes in since not everyone has the capacity to go to neighboring cities where basic necessities are readily available.
To help with our fellow townsmen, we partnered with various suppliers that have the same perspectives with us. Our main products are Ayamas Malaysia frozen foods and Mubaarak Fresh Food (a local food manufacturer).
On the 16th of July 2020, we opened our first store to the public. We were very much grateful for how people support and patronize our products. Customers were thankful for bringing Halal Food products near to them. Some suggested that we should also offer other halal food products thus we look for other products that could be beneficial to our fellow Muslims. From frozen products, we are now offering a variety of products like noodles, spices, sauces, cooking needs, and alike.
We will continue to develop and look for other halal products that could be beneficial to our fellow Muslims.
With this being said, we are very thankful for the continued support and patronage that we are receiving.
