Halal is a term that pertains to any object of action that is in accordance to the Islamic law. Here in Davao City, food establishments are required by law to serve Halal food, and to prominently post on their premises that they serve Halal food.
The Davao City Council has tasked the Davao City Muslim Ulama Halal Certifying and Monitoring Agency to accredit Davao City food establishments to ensure that they follow the strictest sanitary procedures and to ensure that they are indeed serving Halal certified food.
