Visit Davao Fun Sale to feature ‘Pomelo Festival’

Posted on April 9, 2015

DAVAO CITY, April 9 (PNA) — The first ever Davao Pomelo Festival will be launched Friday (April 10) to be led by SM Lanang Premier in support to the six-week citywide sale and events extravaganza Visit Davao Fun Sale (VDFS).

SM Lanang press relation manager Acey Puno-Reyes said the event will be co-presented by the Davao Pummelo Stakeholder’s Association, Inc. (DPSAI). It aims to promote and support the production and export of pomelo, one of the foremost fruits grown and harvested in Davao City.

“As a food tourism effort, it also intends to create increased awareness and appreciation for the fruit people love for its sweet, juicy and tangy taste,” she added.

Among the leading pomelo producers participating in the Davao Pomelo Festival are Nenita Farms, Davao Golden Pomelo, Inc., Hellen Cabalida, Sheba Marie Elefante and Rosemarie Ambay.

She said foreign and local tourists are invited to visit and get a taste of Davao’s favorite fruit at the Pomelo Market from April 10 to May 17; and, “once hooked to the mouthwatering goodness of pomelo, they can join the fun at Eat-All-You-Can fest happening all Saturdays and Sundays during the period.”

On April 18-19 and 25-26, the public is invited to witness Pomelo Dishes and Drinks Chef Demos at the festival. Featured chefs will show how the fruit can spice up and enhance the flavor of food and beverage with a dash of creativity and imagination.

The Davao Pomelo Festival is part of the Flavors of the Philippines campaign of the Department of Tourism (DoT) for VDFS. It is supported by the Davao City Government, the Department of Science and Technology DOST), the Department of Agriculture (DA), Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) and REDD-Ltd. (PNA)
