Filipino Trade Exibition is disappointing

When I heared of the Filipino exibition I was so excited up to my bone marrow! LITERALLY! I even bought the ticket to the shows, both the POOH and Yeng. I even announce it to every Filipino that I see to support.

I was expecting things can be bought there that are from our country, but unfortunately... There are only limited number of booths and most of them are Real Estate and Banks.

There was no proper system as to going in and out and as well as the show it self. I paid Qr. 20 for the show but I could harly hear what POOH is saying on the stage. I guess the one who organized it didn't even research first.

It was really disappointing. I think the trade exibition that was done before by the Chinese is far more better and well executed.

organizers are not ready as what i have seen on the first day of expo. most filipinos were anticipating to see and buy more on pinoy products but it looks like only real estates were there and media com. i have not seen any pinoy delicacies that were displayed...

because my husband and i went their with nothing, like anybody else, we were both expecting at least filipino food but all i have in my hand was a bunch of paper with a lot of houses in their which i cannot eat. They were selling chicken bbq but unfortunately it was all sold. So instead going to attend the show we rather go out and dine in nandoos restaurant. Good thing is that we didn't buy a ticket for the show because on the inside you will see it's not worth it. There's a lot of kababayan who is confuse i think on where to go.

Calling on all the organizers, to make it be better next time so we won't waste our entrance fee for nothing.

Yes!to all Filipino,

Were disapppointed too, We came there after work ( that's how excited we are)place itself was very elegant and prestigous but when you came inside and seeing the non organized line of people and selling ticket,there's nothing to see like diff booths selling things from the Philippines and that's not we expected or heared from their advertisement in the TFC, sad cause that is their First time here in Qatar.Hope next time they will prepared it very well and make the Filipino proud by bringing and showing the world what we have back home.

same here mga kabayan! it was sooo disappointing!...i was looking for a booth where I could buy some Philippine products, I thought that I could eat my favorite kakanin, because my friend told me that they're gonna put some stall selling sweets, foods, clothes, etc. I was figuring out of a "TIANGGE" set up...Anyway, this is just the first time that FILIPINO EXPO is being held here, maybe the organizers should do a lot of improvements regarding the EXHIBITION..I'm a TOURISM graduate,part of the course is CONVENTION AND EXHIBITION MANAGEMENT, maybe I can help the next time..

yeah, I'm disappointed too. I was expecting so much more coz of the way they advertised it. Though I had a good time with Pooh and Yeng (last night), overall, I didn't like it that much.

yah it is disappointing in the community.. we've expect more than anything else coz we expect that they will bring pinoy products such as our native food, shoes from marikina, accessories, apparels, and lot more we miss from our country. the organizers, abscbn- tfc, doesnt execute or arrange well.. Rating: thumbs down.. out of 10, i can rate 3 only.

Power of advertising!

Let us learn our lesson. Every event na lang may reklamo

para kasing hindi nag-i-improve. Para tuloy better opt not to support these type of events.

Just my cent!

Most of us were disappointed on the recent expo. Maybe we were just expecting too much from the organizers.
