THE 2010 INTERNATIONAL BAZAAR
The International Bazaar goes Green on its 44th year! This fun and much anticipated event, will be held on a Sunday, November 21, 2010, from 9AM—7PM, at the PICC Forum, CCP Complex in Pasay City. This bazaar is headed by its chairperson, Mrs. Rosie Lovely Romulo, wife of DFA Secretary Alberto Romulo, in cooperation with the Spouses of the Heads of Missions (SHOM) and members of the consular corps in the Philippines.
As a shopping destination, it is definitely paradise what with the diplomatic and consular missions in the Philippines, government agencies, and local entrepreneurs selling choice merchandise that one cannot usually find in our country on a regular basis. But the heart of its success is the major support that it gives to the charities of the International Bazaar Foundation. Such charities include the Philippine Christian Foundation, Handicap International Philippines, the Rizal Medical Center, and the Association for the Rights of Children in Southeast Asia, among others.
This year, the International Bazaar Foundation has also decided to support the very important global thrust of preserving the earth, and so therefore will ONLY be utilizing reusable, eco-friendly shopping totes instead of plastic ones, as part of their commitment to environmentally-conscious and responsible shopping. These Fashionably designed non-plastic totes will be made available for sale at the event for those that want to purchase one, but the IBF also encourages the many thousands of people that attend this event to bring their own.
Aside from the multitudes of the finest products from around the world, there will also be special raffle prizes awarded to lucky winners. Because of this, the 44th International Bazaar will surely be the best one yet. Spread the word and see you there!
