Marco Polo Davao champions Mindanaoan fashion
Marco Polo Davao, in partnership with Kaayo, recently staged Kaayo: A Mindanao Fashion and Trunk Show at the five-star hotel’s grand lobby. Under the excellent leadership of general manager Dottie Würgler-Cronin and director of sales and marketing Pearl Peralta-Maclang, Marco Polo Davao provided a platform to this meaningful advocacy of Baby Montemayor and daughter Marga Montemayor-Nograles. A dedicated philanthropist, Baby has been doing volunteer product development training works for the indigenous tribes for over a decade. Together with her mega entrepreneur daughter Marga, the hardworking mother-and-daughter tandem has been promoting the T’Boli of Lake Sebu in South Cotabato, the Bagobo-Tagabawa tribe who resides in the outskirts of Mt. Apo, and local designers and sewers from Mindanao. Kaayo marries tradition and trends to come up with bespoke pieces that are truly Mindanaoan, bringing honor to the Filipino tribes and culture. Congratulations to Marco Polo Davao and Kaayo for a successful fashion and trunk show!
