✨ This Day’s Good Vibes
Pasko at Nayon Natin: Maagang Bayanihan
In Makati’s R2 Level of the Power Plant Mall, a special pop-up called Pasko at Nayon Natin is turning the “ber”-months into a lived-experience of community. The initiative by Anthill Fabric Gallery invites visitors into a village-like space where weaving, handmade goods, and local brands converge.
