MANILA, Philippines — ABS-CBN Foundation partner communities and Grassroots by GStuff are organizing "Pamayanan Pop-Up" in Power Plant Mall in Rockwell, Makati City on April 1 to 3.

In an e-mail interview with Philstar.com, ABS-CBN Foundation said the late Gina Lopez started GStuff in 2013 because of her belief in inclusive growth and the critical role social enterprises play in community and nation-building. Gina’s sister, Roberta Lopez Feliciano, is now the president of ABS-CBN Foundation.

“Now revitalized, Grassroots by GStuff, with the help of its partners remain committed to support community-based social enterprises through mentoring programs and marketing assistance to promote products, services and their social mission,” the foundation said.  

“This pop-up event is to get everyone excited again about these community-based social enterprises, from among ABS-CBN Foundation partner communities. It’s a way to get them out to a wider audience and help them find their feet toward further growth and future expansion."   

 

 

From April 1 to 3, the community-based social enterprises of ABS-CBN Foundation partner communities will be at the pop-up event. Joining the event are:

  • Tumana Eco Warriors Organization from Tumana, Marikina;
  • Weaving Arts and Crafts of Tublay from Tublay, Benguet;
  • Seeds of Hope and Dreams from Gubat, Sorsogon;
  • Lola Sayong Eco Surf Farm from Gubat, Sorsogon;
  • and JCMM Pasalubong from Buhatan, Sorsogon.

“All products are unique as each one is handcrafted and/or specially designed,” the foundation said. 

To access the available products from Grassroots by GStuff and ABS-CBN Foundation partner communities, patrons are advised to go to GStuff website gstuff.ph
