In 2007, YabangPinoy began staging one of its core projects which is Global Pinoy Bazaar a program that gathers different Filipino-made brands which transcends a message that locally-produced goods in the Philippines are world-class and can compete to the demands of the international market. In the following years, the movement gained traction in pulling together several Filipino brands which are not only excellent in quality but also proudly-made in the country.
Fast forward to 2012, YabangPinoy launched a campaign called “PHmade: It’s Worth Buying For” where the movement catalogued all the existing Filipino brands that are present in the market, whether they are food and beverage, clothing and footwear, home care, technology, personal care, arts and crafts, or accessories. This campaign is also the movement’s support to the revival of “Made in the Philippines Week” which was promulgated by former President Manuel L. Quezon.
This year, YabangPinoy, in partnership with Globe myBusiness, is spearheading another monumental program called “Go Global With Your Brand”. This project is the ‘next best action’ of the movement; envisioning local enterprises who have proven to the buying public that they are brand leaders to step forward and reach out to the market beyond the Philippine borders. In this program, YabangPinoy and Globe myBusiness will choose five (5) brands from among the entries who will have the chance to join ‘The Social Exchange’ in Waterway Point in Singapore from August 7-13, 2017.
