PH CONSULATE AND THE HINABI PROJECT CELEBRATE WOMEN’S DAY WITH POP-UP MARKET
In celebration of National Women’s Month in the Philippines, the Philippine Consulate General in San Francisco partnered with The Hinabi Project for a pop-up market featuring women-led Filipino American businesses at the Kalayaan Hall of the Philippine Center in San Francisco on 8 March 2023, International Women’s Day. The pop-up market served as the closing event of the “Philippine Piña: Timeless Elegance – World’s Intangible Cultural Heritage” exhibit, which ran for five weeks at the Philippine Center.
Consul General Neil Ferrer and Madame Miriam Ferrer engaged with the participating Bay Area-based Filipino American vendors, and emphasized the importance of creating more economic opportunities for Filipino women to achieve empowerment.
