PINOY BEYOND PILIPINAS

The seventh UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan once said that arguing against globalization is like arguing against the laws of gravity. It is in the here and now.

In the past few years, we have seen the steady rise in a positively different kind of Filipino entrepreneurship, one that involves a consciousness in quality as well as our national identity. Since 2005, at the forefront of this consumer revolution is Yabang Pinoy, the movement that has been infecting more and more Filipinos to take pride in being Filipino – sa isip, sa salita, sa gawa.

The growing number of fashion schools and entrepreneurship schools has groomed Filipino entrepreneurs who aim to develop global brands. Now, witness the surge of today’s proudly Filipino brands as they evolve into tomorrow’s most competitive global brands. Be at the Rockwell Tent on September 20-21, Saturday and Sunday, as Yabang Pinoy opens Global Pinoy Bazaar 2008, and join its volunteers and advocates in supporting Filipino concepts, ideas, and products. In the two days, shop for unique, one-of-a-kind Filipino products all made with pride. Be the first to see collections and edition products by Yabang Pinoy’s community of Filipino entrepreneurs, artists, musicians, and product developers, to be launched intentionally at the bazaar. It will be zoned according to Art/Music/Design, Fashion (Apparel, Bags, Shoes, Swimwear, Fashion Accessories), Lifestyle (Furniture and home accessories), and Food. The dates just barely a hundred days away from Christmas day, the bazaar is the perfect reason to start the early Christmas shopping!

Yabang Pinoy continues to encourage and inspire Filipinos to innovate, create, and develop unique Filipino products and services that we can be proud of. But it will be for naught if without the consumer, whose power lies in his/her purchasing power – in the everyday choices between A and B, or, due to globalization, among A to Z. More power to you. More power to the Philippine peso.
