Through the years, the bazaar has supported causes dear to the students’ hearts: from helping create a forest as a watershed in partnership with their peers in Brgy. Tranca in Bay, Laguna; to helping kids with cancer, river clean-ups, feeding programs, and helping address social, economic and environmental problems.
She said that, “for instance, our Grade-12 students spotlighted SDG 5 or ‘Gender Equality’ and SDG 8 or ‘Decent Work and Economic Growth’ with their ‘Bayong-All-You-Can’ experience. Shoppers can purchase a ‘bayong’ handcrafted by women weavers and fill it with…fresh, locally sourced produce… It’s a fun, eco-friendly way to support local farmers and artisans while promoting sustainability.”
“The bazaar served as a platform to raise the next generation of leaders who will want to care to use their smarts to make a difference and make the world a better place for all,” said Dr. Abaquin, who wrote the best-selling Go Negosyo book: “8 Simple Secrets to Raising Entrepreneurs.” MIIS, for its part, was awarded with the “Go Negosyo Youth Enabler Award for Basic Education.”
