United For Nature: Bayanihan Para sa Kalikasan Movement, Inc. Pushes for a Greener, More Empowered Philippines


Wazzup Pilipinas!?



In a time of worsening climate emergencies and ecological degradation, one organization emerges with steadfast resolve, unwavering purpose, and a shared vision: to unite the Filipino people under a single, powerful call—“Kalikasan Muna.”


Bayanihan Para sa Kalikasan Movement, Inc. (BKM) is more than an environmental organization—it is a national force for change, a convergence of communities, advocates, and leaders determined to inspire, empower, and mobilize people toward ecological justice. Built upon the spirit of bayanihan, BKM exemplifies what happens when collective action meets unwavering purpose.


A Vision Rooted in Unity

At the heart of BKM lies its compelling vision: A United Green Philippines. This vision seeks not only to bring environmental groups under one banner, but also to influence every level of society—individuals, families, barangays, institutions, and the nation as a whole—to prioritize and embody sustainable, green living.


Their mission is crystal clear: to inspire, empower, and mobilize people to achieve ecological justice. And the strategy? A well-structured Kalikasan Muna Agenda that balances grassroots engagement with national policy reform.


The Kalikasan Muna Agenda: 9 Paths to Change

BKM’s transformative Kalikasan Muna Agenda is a powerful 9-point action plan designed to make sustainability more than just a buzzword. It’s a lifestyle, a governance model, and a national imperative. Key highlights include:

Strengthening Membership through shared policies, training, and governance;

Building Community Partnerships to create long-term climate adaptation programs;

Simplifying Climate Dialogue for broader public understanding;

Engaging Stakeholders in environmental agenda integration;

Curbing Consumerism through culture, awareness, and advocacy;

Driving Grassroots Environmental Action through education;

Promoting Voter Participation for green leadership;

Reviewing and Lobbying for Policy Reforms;

Implementing Environmental Laws through concrete, actionable solutions.


A Movement Driven by Action and Advocacy

BKM is not just talk—it walks the talk.


Its Board of Trustees and National Executive Committee, composed of engineers, architects, environmental planners, and advocates, reflects a multidisciplinary force poised to respond to modern ecological challenges. Names such as Chairperson David D. D’Angelo, President Engr. Eric A. Raymundo, and Board Member Ross Flores Del Rosario—a known online journalist and environmental influencer—highlight the caliber of leadership behind the movement.


Together, this team leads advocacy campaigns, spearheads environmental workshops, mobilizes nationwide awareness efforts, and works to influence policy and governance through active civic participation.


The Responsibilities of Every Member

BKM believes that every Filipino has a role to play. Whether through participating in clean-up drives, joining environmental workshops, promoting eco-lifestyles, or simply casting a vote for green leaders, the movement places responsibility and power back into the hands of the people.


To be a member of BKM is to live a life aligned with ecological responsibility. It is a commitment to be informed, to participate actively, and to help expand the movement by inviting others to the cause.


Be Part of the Green Revolution

In an age where climate action can no longer wait, Bayanihan Para sa Kalikasan Movement, Inc. stands as a beacon of hope, unity, and unwavering courage. Whether you're a concerned citizen, a climate advocate, or someone simply looking to live a greener life—this movement welcomes you.

“Tara, Kultura Crawl Tayo!”: A Celebration of Filipino Flavors, Crafts, and Community at Greenhills Mall


Wazzup Pilipinas!?



July 1, 2025 – Greenhills, San Juan City — In a world that often rushes forward, Filipinos remain rooted in one truth: connection is everything. Whether it's through shared meals, heartfelt conversations, or stories woven into our crafts, our culture thrives on togetherness. That spirit takes center stage this July 2 to 6, 2025, as Kultura Crawl transforms the East Wing Atrium of Greenhills Mall into a vibrant festival of flavors, artistry, and local pride.


A collaboration between Kultura and Greenhills Mall, this five-day celebration is more than just a fair—it’s a soulful reunion of the Filipino identity. Think of it as the warm, familiar call of “Tara, kain tayo!”—but louder, brighter, and bursting with passion.





What to Expect: More Than Just a Crawl, It’s a Cultural Journey

At its heart, Kultura Crawl is a sensory adventure. It’s where regional delicacies meet artisanal masterpieces; where homegrown ingenuity dances with tradition. Every booth is a story waiting to be tasted, touched, worn, or brought home.


Flavors to Remember – Indulge in uniquely Filipino eats from across the islands. From heirloom recipes and kakanin to gourmet twists on street food staples, this is where culinary craftsmanship becomes edible nostalgia.


Makers & Masterpieces – Meet the hands behind the heritage. From banig weavers to jewelry artisans, fashion designers to eco-friendly innovators, Kultura Crawl features Filipino makers who put soul into every stitch, carve, and blend.


Shop Local, Support Filipino – In a world flooded with mass-produced imports, Kultura Crawl urges us to rediscover pride in sariling atin. Every purchase is not just a product—it's a vote for Filipino creativity, sustainability, and economic upliftment.


Why It Matters: Celebrating Identity in Every Step

Kultura Crawl isn’t just an event—it’s a movement. It’s a reminder that amid globalization and digital distractions, there is joy—and power—in coming home to our roots.


“For Filipinos, connection is everything,” the event’s organizers declare. “This isn’t just about what you eat or wear—it’s about the story behind it, the hands that made it, and the home it reminds you of.”


And where better to spark that connection than in Greenhills—an iconic shopping and lifestyle hub that has, for decades, been a space where generations of Filipinos gather, barter, bond, and build memories?

Cordillera Comes Alive at IMPAKABSAT 2025: A Celebration of Flavors, Colors, and Culture!


Wazzup Pilipinas!?



“Kabsat, intayon!” The heartbeat of the Cordillera is echoing once more through the bustling halls of Shangri-La Plaza in Mandaluyong City as IMPAKABSAT—the region’s grandest showcase of heritage, resilience, and innovation—returns for its 33rd vibrant year. Happening from July 2 to 6, 2025, this year’s theme, “Flavors and Colors,” promises a multi-sensory journey into the soul of the highlands.


A Legacy Born from Brotherhood and Bravery

The name IMPAKABSAT isn’t just a catchy acronym—it’s a powerful symbol. Drawn from the initials of Ifugao, Mountain Province, Abra, Kalinga, Apayao, Baguio-Benguet and the Ilocano term “kabsat” (sibling), it embodies unity and kinship. First launched in the wake of the 1990 Luzon earthquake, the event emerged not merely as a trade fair, but as a healing ground for a region determined to rise—together.


Today, IMPAKABSAT is more than an expo. It’s a living, breathing tribute to the Cordillera’s identity—one woven through the hands of artisans, brewed in the soil of mountain farms, and echoed in the laughter and pride of a people deeply rooted in tradition.


What Awaits You: An Immersive Cordilleran Experience

Prepare to be dazzled, delighted, and deeply moved. IMPAKABSAT 2025 has pulled out all the stops:


Over 30 Exhibit Booths

Explore handcrafted treasures—from loom-woven apparel that tells stories with every thread, to bamboo crafts, tribal accessories, and locally produced gourmet foods like Cordilleran cacao and preserved meats. This is your chance to support MSMEs and artisans directly from the highlands.

Kapiterya: The Coffee Soul of the Cordillera

Step into the comforting aroma of Cordillera Arabica and Robusta beans. The Kapiterya offers daily features of local coffee micro-enterprises, plus free cups of coffee for all during the opening day—best enjoyed with local kakanin (rice delicacies) that melt in your mouth and warm your heart.


OTOP Next Gen Prototypes

See tradition transformed! With the support of One Town, One Product (OTOP) Next Generation, witness a bold new era of reimagined Cordilleran goods—from eco-friendly packaging to striking modern designs that still honor their indigenous roots.


CARP Product Highlights

Experience agricultural bounty and craft ingenuity through the products of the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP) beneficiaries. It’s a powerful testament to the synergy between agrarian development and economic empowerment.


Interactive Skills Demos

Get hands-on! Engage in daily demonstrations from handbuilding pottery to backstrap weaving, showcasing the skill and patience of traditional Cordilleran techniques passed down through generations. Watch, learn, and even try for yourself!


More Than Shopping—It’s a Cultural Immersion

To walk through IMPAKABSAT is to walk through the Cordillera—each stall, sip, and stitch telling tales of ancestry, struggle, and triumph. Whether you're a curious traveler, a proud Cordilleran, a culture enthusiast, or simply looking for something meaningful to take home, this is the event that connects you to the heart of the highlands.
