Clothing for a Cause: BunBuy Marketplace and NextGen Foundation to Provide ₱88M Worth of Brand-New Clothing to DSWD 4P’s Members

Last March 15, 2023, the inaugural Bihisang Bayan Clothing Drive was successfully conducted at the Valenzuela City Hall. The latest project in the partnership between BunBuy Marketplace and NextGen Foundation aims to improve the quality of life of low-income Filipino families through suitable and finer clothing.

Through the assistance of the Department of Social Welfare and Development – NCR (DSWD-NCR), BunBuy Marketplace is able to work hand-in-hand with NextGen Foundation, furthering the strong alliance between the Filipino and Chinese communities in the country. The partnership has accumulated over ₱88 million worth of brand-new clothes sourced directly from Guizhou Dadi Public Welfare Foundation, a Chinese organization dedicated to providing underprivileged communities with better quality attire.

“We will give families in need access to suitable, quality clothing, which we hope will bring them better opportunities, as well as improve their outlook as we begin the year,” said Reuben Ravago, COO and CTO of BunBuy Marketplace.

The event featured a ceremonial turnover of the clothing packs  containing brand-new clothes for over 25,000 DSWD-selected recipients of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) across neighboring cities in Metro Manila.

“Clothes offer so much more than warmth. By wearing comfortable and decent clothing, it gives a massive boost in the person’s dignity and greatly improves their outlook on life,” said Pinky Romualdez, the Regional Director of DSWD-NCR.

“Hopefully, these clothes will serve their purpose and provide the necessary encouragement for the people who will receive them. Lastly, I hope this event inspires us to help our fellow Filipinos and empower one another to face the challenges that life has to offer,” she added.

The President of NextGen Foundation, Princess Go, also expressed her delight at the partnership’s success and accomplishment.

“Our team here at NextGen Foundation is extremely proud and grateful for the opportunity to work with BunBuy Marketplace and the good people of DSWD in supporting these communities get on their feet,” shared Go.

Following the success of the Bihisang Bayan Clothing Drive and its other project Busugang Bayan, BunBuy Marketplace continues to make a difference in the lives of impoverished Filipinos through its official  e-commerce platform, BunBuy Marketplace . The BunBuy Marketplace App allows for much easier distribution of aid and assistance through their e-commerce platform. Everything is delivered directly to recipients homes without having to line up for aid or “ayuda”. The app is available for download on Android devices, with an iOS version coming soon.
