Located at the HK Sun Plaza along Diosdado Macapagal Avenue and Roxas Blvd. in Pasay City, the store is open from 10:00 am to 7:00 pm daily.
The one stop shop features choice items ranging from Christmas displays, furniture & home décor, fashion accessories & apparel, health & wellness products and food and beverage items.
With at least 1,897 square meters of selling space, it is a thrilling destination for discerning shoppers this holiday season who want a one-stop shop for all items Filipino.
Various indigenous materials crafted in the essence of Filipino culture and tradition can be found in the store. Among these, a Christmas wreath made out of corn husks from Pangasinan and tinalak cloth from the T’boli tribe in Mindanao.
Likewise, in adherence to green advocacy, almost all of the store’s products are organic and environmentally friendly.
Root furniture, fashioned out of the remaining roots of fallen down trees, is one of the best sellers in the store along with other innovative furniture pieces made from bamboo and rattan.
Interesting food items from diabetic-friendly coconut sugar to bignay (wild blackberry) and duhat (java plum) wines also fill the shelves of Tindahang Pinoy. With all items at factory and manufacturer prices, it is guaranteed to be a perfect shopping destination for bargain hunters and discriminating buyers alike.
Open all year round, Tindahang Pinoy continues its fundamental objective in serving as a marketing and retail outlet for micro, small, medium enterprises who lack funding and manpower to open their own stores in Metro Manila.
It also serves as a consolidation point for exports, with buyers from Macau, Hawaii, India, Iran, Japan and Malaysia brought in to visit the product showcase.
Meanwhile, organizers of the Tindahang Pinoy are inviting tourists, balikbayans, and the general public to take a first hand look at the innovative creations hailing from the OTOP (One Town, One Product) project of the Department of Trade and Industry.
OTOP highlights the distinct products of each town or city in the Philippines that are traditionally crafted using natural materials such as tikog grass, abaca fiber and sinamay cloth. (PIA-NCR/jerome carlo r. paunan)
