Around 100 Chinese apparel brands are showcasing at the ongoing three-day Philippines Apparel Textile Show and Sport Show in Manila. Exhibitors from China’s Fujian, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Jiangxi provinces are displaying different kinds of garments including bags, sportswear, footwear, swimsuits, outdoor equipment, and fitness equipment, among others. The China Textiles and Garment Brand Show (Philippines), being held as part of the expo, aims to provide a platform for forging partnership among Chinese and Philippine businesses as well as exploring the most advanced textile technologies, according to the fair organisers. “We value the apparel textile market in the Philippines very much. This time, around 100 Chinese textile and garment manufacturers have step foot on Philippine soil to bring samples of their goods, seeking more opportunities in the country,” said Cao Jiachang, chairman of China Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Textile and Apparel. “This expo is also a perfect venue for stakeholders to meet prospective business partners from China and vice versa and be updated on the latest trends in the industry,” Chinese media reports quoted Jiachang as saying. Several events like business match-making conference, and fashion show would be held on the sidelines of the expo.
