Today FYI: The Playground'stheir stage

MANILA, Philippines - Whether it’s through entrepreneurial or artistic pursuits, today’s young and the restless have gotten inventive and produced their own outlets of creativity. They’ve gotten pretty nifty at it, too. Taking advantage of the culture by consuming it fully, then spewing out something new of their own is the new name of the game — may it be a bespoke shirt or a wicked pair of heels.

As the outlets pile up, so does the hype, and that can distract us from those who create genuine buzz. Enter Platform, Manila’s first youth culture convention. Reeling in the best representatives of our country’s independent verge culture retail industry, Platform’s where young entrepreneurs and their clothing lines, art and culture products, independent accessories and lifestyle items are showcased. Their “Unite and Conquer” theme ensures an interactive experience at Ronac Art Center’s The Playground, on March 17 from 12 noon to 8 p.m.
