Christmas in the Philippines begins early, and this year, the spirit of togetherness takes center stage at Makati’s Power Plant Mall.
Pasko at Nayon Natin, a vibrant bayanihan pop-up led by ANTHILL Fabric Gallery, has been extended until the end October of October, inviting everyone to step into a Christmas village where the fiesta comes alive through craft, color, and collaboration.
Launched last August in time for Buwan ng Wika, Nayon Natin: A Bayanihan Pop-Up was designed as a living storybook and a two-month immersive marketplace filled with vibrant, community-centered brands.
Now continuing through the holiday season, this edition of Pasko at Nayon Natin is a feast not to be missed: showcasing festive collections, new unexpected collaborations, and shared experiences rooted in community.
“We wanted to recreate the feeling of a Filipino fiesta at Christmas – where togetherness, joyful exchange, and celebration of who we are as a people are at the center,” said ANTHILL co-founder Anya Lim in a statement, calling community the greatest gift. “Textiles are our language here, from woven threads to wearable statements of identity.”
Andanté Footwear co-founder Larcia Lim added that the pop-up is “bayanihan in the form of fashion” and her brand creates shoes made from fabrics honoring two different communities, Marikina and Cebu.
Other present Filipino brands are the handmade jewelry of Tropik Beatnik and home decorations of Studio Sursidan.
