PHILIPPINE EMBASSY PARTICIPATES IN THE 58th ANNUAL DIPLOMATIC BAZAR
The Embassy of the Republic of the Philippines in Amman successfully participated in the 58th Annual Diplomatic Bazaar held on 15 October 2022 at Al Hussein Youth City, under the patronage of Her Royal Highness Princess Basma Bint Talal of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. The International Diplomatic Bazaar is held annually for the benefit of the orphaned children housed at the Mubarrat Um Al-Hussein Children’s Home.
The Philippine Embassy featured Philippine food products, traditional handicrafts, accessories, and textiles at its colorful booth adorned by a makeshift jeepney head. One of the highlights of the bazaar was the visit of HRH Princess Basma to each booth, commending the diplomatic missions for putting up such a diversified but united effort to make the bazaar a success. This year’s bazaar is its comeback after two-year online editions due to the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.
The event showcased diplomatic goodwill and dedication among the around 30 participating diplomatic missions including China, Japan, the US, Australia, Bangladesh, Italy, Iran, Iraq, Palestine, India, Panama, Sudan, Ukraine, Austria, and Romania, among others. All ASEAN Embassies also participated in the event. It was indeed a fruitful occasion for a good cause that enabled the bazaar goers to travel the world and experience different cultures in one day.
