MANILA, Philippines - It was another star-studded Yuletide shopping experience as Noel Discovery Bazaar, the country’s biggest benefit bazaar opened its 11th year of helping worthy causes with its longest and most comprehensive edition.
Dubbed the Bazaar With A Heart, the three-part Yuletide sale is a partnership with GMA Kapuso Network for the benefit the GMA Kapuso Foundation, Bantayog ng mga Bayani and Associate Missionaries of Assumption Foundations along with the Sts. Peter and John Parish, and the Noel P. Gozon Memorial Clinic in Malabon City.
The bazaar kicked off last Nov. 18 and runs until Nov. 27 at the World Trade Center, with its regular supporter Kapuso Foundation COO Mel Tiangco opening the annual event.
At the Mardi Gras-themed opening event, Ynna Asistio and Frencheska Farr of the GMA Artist Center serenaded children beneficiaries and gave them their early Christmas aginaldo.
Shoppers can rummage at the celebrity booths and meet-and-greet their favorite Kapuso stars. Entertainment numbers, special events and daily raffle draws will make shopping a truly pleasurable experience.
There will also be cooking and product demonstrations, as well as fashion shows in cooperation with Abbylyn.
Noel Bazaar features over 1,000 concessionaires ranging from Christmas and home decors, food, apparel and accessories, novelties, books and other gift items for the Holidays and beyond.
The expanded Christmas fair returns to the PICC Forum Tent from Dec. 9 to 18, and the World Trade Center on Dec. 21 to 23 for last minute shopping for quality products at rock-bottom prices.
