Pinoy-preneurs
Are there enough exciting Pinoy products for you to shop till you drop?” is the challenge that Yabang Pinoy asks shoppers with their Global Pinoy Bazaar. Bazaaristas flocked to Rockwell Tent to see fresh ideas from Pinoy-preneurs and give power to the peso once again. The merchants let out their creativity in various ways, from delectable chocolates with spices and animal blankets for kids, to shirts designed for an online competition. The trend, thanks to our new free online world, is that more and more products are about customization and expression. These supreme pinoy-preneurs, as you will see, make it easy to love and buy our own because they are on the edge of innovation and customization. Every item is alluring, creative and uniquely 100-percent Pinoy. From interacting with these merchants, it isn’t hard to see a future where shoppers will fill their shopping bags with 100-percent local products and with pride ask: did you buy Pinoy today?

Because there’s an abundant source of creativity in the local scene. It’s a step away from the first thought people think of local goods: Pinoy handicrafts. While that’s not bad, there are many awesome local stuff out there that are just as good or better than the pricey international ones.

Why support Yabang Pinoy? Well, why not? It’s a great cause. It encourages Filipinos to take pride in and support homegrown Pinoy businesses, instead of being stuck with antiquated colonial mentality. After all, a lot of Pinoy businesses are at par with, if not surpass, foreign brands. Supporting Yabang Pinoy’s cause is great for the economy and developing nationwide pride and camaraderie. Why would anyone not support that?
