This Wednesday, the “Buy Pinoy-Buy Local” Summit will be held at

The movement’s lead proponents are the
Federation of Philippine Industries (FPI) and the Federation of
Filipino-Chinese Chambers of Commerce (FFCCC).

Dasmarinas Village in the most salubrious corner of Makati were
besides themselves with excitement this past...
