The 2nd Filipino Expo in Dubai 2009 - the Grand Opening Day
The time is already 11:50 AM but complains from the users are still coming plus the backup job is still running but thank God when the time reaches at exactly 12 noon everything became peaceful and my Boss agreed that he’ll do the changing of the backup tapes so that I can attend the Grand Opening and the Cutting of Ribbon of the 2nd Filipino Expo in Dubai 2009.
When I reached Hall 3 of Dubai World Trade Center, there were already a number of Filipinos standing outside, waiting for the grand opening. During this time (12:30 PM) several members from the press geared with either DigiCam or VideoCam start to flock the area looking for the best position for the ribbon cutting.
At exactly 1:00 PM, the Grand Opening ceremony started and the Ribbon-Cutting also took place headed by the Philippine Ambassador to the UAE, Mr. Libran Cabactulan and just like that the 2nd Filipino Expo 2009 in Dubai is now open to everyone.
Below are some of the photos that we took during the event.
The FilExpo will not be complete without the original products of the Philippines and it is indeed everybody’s favorite, the “Dried Sea Foods”.
For more festive mood and Pinoy style, colorful banderitas will be seen inside the FilExpo.
Signage as big as shown above will surely take the attention of anyone who pass by the corridors of Dubai World Trade Center.
I usually see the flag of the Philippines sticked on a Filipino owned car, but during the event a new way of showcasing of being a true “makabayan”, Flag on the Sleeve.
Giant size Crocs at the FilExpo! If you missed the sale of Crocs a month ago then don’t get dismayed because they’re still here, a perfect pasalubong item for our family members and friends in Pinas.
Missed our local sweet products? Crave no more because they are waiting for you in Hall 3 of the Dubai World Trade Center.
Summer time is here and if you want to look cool in your short pants then why take one of these cool sandals, to cool your day?
Can’t get close to your favorite celebrity? No problem because giant screen is there to make them larger.
