RestoPH, on the other hand, led by its president Eric Teng, is a group of more than 180 restaurant owners in the Philippines working together to hurdle the challenges that face each and every restauranteur to ensure best practices are shared across all members to all work together in uplifting and restarting the F&B business. The group was formed in May 2020 during the COVID-19 nationwide lockdown.

Iloilo City Mayor Jerry Treñas has emphasized that “as members of the community, it is imperative that we do our own littleo share that the New Normal will be very safe for all of us. Let us patronize the products of our farmers. “

The event has officially opened last September 11 until the 13th. Another run will be September 18-20 at SM Southpoint of SM City Iloilo.
