A Terminal Worth Celebrating

Big news, friends! Sapang Dalaga just leveled up. On August 21, the town proudly opened its new Integrated Bus Terminal and Public Market in Purok Rosal, Barangay Poblacion.

Consequently, commuters and vendors now have a modern, organized space to call home. It's more than concrete and steel—it's progress you can walk through.

Partnership in Action

This milestone didn't happen alone. Governor Henry S. Oaminal, Mayor Dawn Animas, and Rep. Jason Almonte united behind this vision, while Rev. Archbishop Martin S. Jumoad blessed it all.

Ultimately, teamwork built this terminal. #asensoSapangDalaga #AsensoMisamisOccidental

Barakah in Business: How Halal Is Becoming the Philippines' Next Big Opportunity

COURTESY:  PIA 10

More Than a Label

So, what comes to mind when you hear the word "halal"? Probably just food that's permissible under Islamic law, right? Well, according to the National Commission on Muslim Filipinos (NCMF), that idea is way too small nowadays.

At the Halal Trade Expo 2026 in Iligan City, NCMF Secretary Sabuddin N. Abdurahim explained that halal has grown into a global industry. It's now a market, a quality standard, and honestly, a real shot at inclusive economic growth.

Why Northern Mindanao Matters

Here's the thing: Northern Mindanao is sitting on a goldmine. Between its agriculture, food industry, tourism, and strategic location, the region has everything it needs to become a halal powerhouse.

But resources alone won't cut it. Abdurahim stressed that the whole value chain needs work, from education and certification to financing and trade access.

Everyone Has a Role to Play

Local governments, businesses, and communities all need to step up together. Local governments must back local industries, while the private sector brings innovation and investment.

Meanwhile, communities protect what makes halal meaningful in the first place: integrity, quality, and trust.

Building Toward Bigger Markets

Ultimately, NCMF wants an industry that creates jobs and lets Filipino products compete globally. That vision also supports President Marcos Jr.'s push for food security and inclusive growth.
