During these trying times, most Filipinos usually settle for the lowest priced item on the market when shopping. Considerations such as whether the company we buy from has responsible business practices don’t even enter our thoughts.
That is why three non-government organizations started a campaign on consumer education.
The campaign, with the slogan "Buy local, buy fair," was officially launched last May through the initiative of the Advocate of Philippine Fair Trade, Inc. (APFTI), the Asia Fair Trade Forum (AFTV), and its national arm, the Philippine Fair Trade Forum (PFTF).
The first half of the slogan "Buy local, buy fair," urges consumers to patronize Philippine-made products. But equal emphasis is placed on buying "fair." Affordable price means local products because it doesnt have fixed cost like shipping fee and taxes as well and it bring good for the whole country because we will all benefit from this, economically and financially. our money will only revolve around our country and this means that no foreigners will user our money outside our soveireignity and local people will all benefir from this.

i really think that filipinos should buy more local products.. by doing so, in a way they are able to help our country
As far as I want to buy Filipino products, I always purchase the wrong brand. Before, I thought del monte and tide are local so I purchase those often but it wasn't.
So now I just use mang tomas to be sure lol
For this campaign to be more successful, they should let the people know what are Filipino products.
Best product of Filipinos... Food
yummy
And i'm sure it is Filipino product
this one is a nice entry because it talks about our rich culture that we should preserve an protect
local product really increases our GNP and really helps our economy especially during this troubled times.
i really agree with you. if we buy food products from our local producers then the money that they will earn will just be reinvested in our own country.
man foreign investors in our country do not reinvest in our country what they have earned from their businesses in the philippines. their money is brought back to their own country. it is not distributed to our country's national wealth.
