PRAGUE 09 December 2019 –– Philippine mango products - dried fruit, candied, juice, slices in syrup, and freshwater and south sea pearls - were sold at a brisk pace during the 2019 International Christmas Festival of the Diplomatic Spouses Association (DSA) in Prague at the Hotel Hilton on 01 December 2019.
Customers raved about the candied mangoes with tamarind having been intrigued with the taste and look of the mixed tropical fruits. The said product was the first to be sold out.
The Philippine Embassy in the Czech Republic participated in this year’s edition of the Christmas Festival, with two separate stands: one, for Philippine mangoes at the main hall and two, for Philippine pearls at the adjacent Salon Roma. Hotel Hilton ensured a secure space for the Philippine pearls due to their value.
At separate times during the event, Czech Foreign Affairs Minister Tomáš Petříček and Mrs. Monika Babisova visited the Philippine stand for mangoes.
This year, the Philippine Embassy contributed Kc47,950 from its total sales to the DSA Prague, which will in turn donate the sum to selected charity organizations in the Czech Republic. END
