Aboitiz Power Corporation (AboitizPower) renewed its support for the Nakakalocal! initiative, which recently launched its second consecutive year of promoting local micro, small and medium enterprises, in an event at the Mega Atrium of SM Megamall.
After a successful first year, Nakakalocal! reiterated its mission to “love local and grow global”. Among the 60 brands that participated was the Ifugao Kape Coffee Products, a single-origin, fair-trade product which is a blend of Arabica and Robusta coffee beans farmed and roasted by the residents of Lagawe, Ifugao, supported by SN AboitizPower (SNAP).
Nakakalocal! was initiated by the Philstar Media Group, in partnership with SM Supermalls.
In his speech, AboitizPower president and CEO Manny Rubio highlighted the importance of the private sector giving back to its stakeholders — most especially to its host communities — by providing decent work and opportunities for sustainable entrepreneurship.
