In the bustling world of home enthusiasts, the renowned Filipino group, Home Buddies, is poised to mark its third anniversary with a remarkable event. Aptly named the Home Buddies Bazaar, this grand celebration on October 1, 2023 from 11am to 10pm at Ayala Mallls Manila Bay Activity Center showcases the best in home improvement, décor, and design from over 30 passionate local merchants.
A Fusion of Style and Savings
At the heart of Home Buddies Bazaar lies a dedication to budget-friendly shopping without compromising on style. The event offers a thoughtfully curated selection of furniture essentials, household treasures, and decorative pieces, all embodying the community’s mantra of affordable elegance.
Mayora’s Vision: A Boundless Celebration
Founder Frances Lim Cabatuando, lovingly known as ‘Mayora’ by the devoted HB community, shares her excitement about this extraordinary event. “It’s the first independent event that we’re doing, so we have no limits,” she exclaims. The bazaar is set to host esteemed brands like Tough Mama, PLDT Home, and Ayala Malls Manila Bay as co-presenters, along with prominent home professional organizations like United Architects of the Philippines (UAP) and Philippine Institute of Civil Engineers (PICE) offering free home consultations for eager attendees.
Unleashing the Home Enthusiast’s Dreams
The Home Buddies Bazaar brings to life Pinterest-inspired concepts through specialized booths and shops. More than 30 home and living merchants will gather, promising to ignite the inner budol (an endearing Filipino term for irresistible purchases) in every visitor. This event also marks the inaugural “grand eyeball” of the growing online community, boasting over 3.2 million followers on Facebook to date.
A Day of Extravaganza
Set against the vibrant backdrop of Ayala Malls Manila Bay in Pasay City on October 1, 2023, this one-day event promises an immersive experience. Beyond the extensive array of home improvement merchants and booths, attendees can enjoy on-stage segments, engaging games, thrilling activities, and soul-stirring performances. Alt-rock icons Barbie Almalbis and Sandwich will headline the event, joined by promising newcomers I See Bees, New York Heights, Raven and the Papis, and Sofia Carpizo.
