Tindahan ni Mang PEF launched
Last March 25, 2008, during PEF's General Assembly, Tindahan ni Mang PEF, The PEF Partners' Showroom was opened. Led by PEF Chairperson, Fr. Noel Vasquez, SJ, Treasurer, Mr. Senen Bacani, Executive Director Ms. Veronica Villavicencio together with the rest of PEF's Board of Trustees and staff, the simple ceremony was capped with the serving of freshly roasted coffee from Bote Central, Inc. (www.arengga.com) and showcased products from the Cordillera Network of NGOs and POs.
The PEF Partners' Showroom gives partners the opportunity to have a business center in the premiere Metro Manila market. The products will come from PEF's Partnership and Access Centers (PACs) using a quarterly rotation scheme. It will be initially managed by PEF, however, the ultimate plan is for it to be handled by a village trading and marketing network made up of PEF PACs. It will serve as the PACs trading and marketing arm that will provide capitalization, consolidate products and provide product development assistance to PAC members nationwide.
From March 25 to April 25, 2008, the store will be giving out 100 cups of free coffee from 9:00am to 10:00am and 3:00pm to 4:00pm daily. Snack menus and combo merienda packages that include pastries, jams, jellies and coffee are also available.
Come and visit Tindahan ni Mang PEF and experience community empowerment first hand. The store is located at the PEF Office, 69 Esteban Abada St., Loyola Heights, Quezon City, Tel. No.: 433 7535, Fax No.: 426 8402 loc. 102 or email: mangpef @ pef.ph.
