Live, love and shop local with Bakal Lokal

 

There are tons of nice Christmas presents  you can give to yourself,  family and friends from Bakal Lokal, an online and physical store that is the brainchild of  Youth First Initiative Philippines in partnership with DOST-VI.  If you love to shop in your pajamas, Bakal Lokal's online shop is very navigable and easy to use but for people like myself who enjoy the tactile experience of browsing products, I highly recommend visiting the Bakal Lokal brick and mortar store located at AAMC Barbo Building in Jalandoni Street, Jaro district. The shop is very cozy and the handmade goods are displayed in a very attractive modern rustic style. The goods are mostly manufactured in small batches so everything looks one-of-a-kind. Definitely no soul less, mass produced products at Bakal Lokal. Every product feels handmade and that's why I love it. Your recipients will love it as well.

After you are done with your shopping, you can even grab a favorite brew at the in-store cafe. Hitting two birds with one stone I should say!

Happy holiday shopping! Remember to shop and promote homegrown products made with love in Iloilo.
