Social enterprises team up to pay tribute to Moms and cover full spectrum of love

“We wanted to come up with customized gifts that not only transcend the conventional considerations for Mother’s Day, but also hone in on our enduring model of creating impact for different stakeholders through partnerships: the cut-flower farmers, cacao growers, and artisan pot makers.” ~Lance Villanueva, the Co-Founder & Chief of Fulfillment of Mayani

Because a mother’s love is unique, nurturing, and all-encompassing. Bride and Breakfast Founder Janna Simpao on a heartwarming moment with her daughter.

It is that time of the year again when we celebrate the efforts of the very person whose unconditional, unbeatable love binds our families together: our super moms.

To elevate the usual gift options for Mother’s Day, leading farm-to-table platform Mayani.ph collaborates with premium bean-to-bar chocolate maker Auro Chocolate and key social enterprises GAAN and Agrabah by curating special potted flowers and plants collection with names symbolizing the different kinds of motherly love. 

Every gift is composed of farm fresh flowers elegantly nested and arranged in terracotta bowls from GAAN’s artisan pottery community in Pampanga. All are paired with a limited edition Mayani and Auro co-branded Heritage Collection Chocolate Set: 5 chocolate bars from roasted white to premium dark.

Known for its thrust of providing a broader and more stable market for smallholder farmers and fisherfolks, Mayani also works strategically with the likes of the Department of Trade & Industry in expanding its impact footprint across more regions in the Philippines.

Prim Paypon, the Co-Founder and Curator of GAAN, elaborates on the underlying thought and curation process for the collection. 

“For Mother’s Day, we thought of celebrating our mother’s unwavering love and remarkable labor to their children from birth to adulthood. We want to celebrate the loving labor of their hands, from guiding their children to take their first step to creating wonderful meals on their family’s table. For this campaign, we named each flower arrangement from how we recall and cherish our own memories with our life’s first greatest woman.” ~Prim Paypon, the Co-Founder and Curator of GAAN

"Mama was my greatest teacher, a teacher of compassion, love, and fearlessness. If love is sweet as a flower, then my mother is that sweet flower of love." ~Stevie Wonder

Mother’s day just right around the corner, Ortigas Malls are big on celebrations you can expect to have exciting events dedicated especially for the special lady in our lives: our moms. 

Glam Mum

For the month of Mom, we’re celebrating across all Ortigas Malls where moms will have the chance to take a well-deserved break by having Glam Mum pamper sessions in any Ortigas mall. Moms who shop on Mother’s Day, May 13, with a minimum spend of P2,000 using their Mastercard credit card will even get a chance to win prizes at our pick-a-prize in Greenhills, Tiendesitas, or Estancia!

Mother’s Day Fair

In addition to that, there will be a Mother’s Day Fair at the Greenhills V-Mall Lobby from May 7 to 15 where all sorts of goods will be available. Make sure to bring and treat your mom to a shopping spree at the shopping mecca of Metro Manila! 

Tiendesitas, on the other hand, is also be hosting a special Mother’s Day Weekend Pop-Up at the Level 1 Building B from May 11 to 13. Check out the pop-up stores that will offer specialty goods, food, art, and so much more.

From May 12 to 13, Estancia’s Mother’s Day Mom Squad will have to pamper sessions for all the deserving moms, and a bazaar that’s sure to be chock full of gifts as a treat. There will also be an ongoing art exhibit by Irene Ibanez in time for Mother’s Day, which will highlight the love between a mother and a child. Having had 10 years of experience with watercolor, Irene has been creating worlds on canvas by weaving wonderful little stories with a blend of elegance and whimsy. She has since shared these worlds with her daughter Isabela, and together, they are able to strengthen their bond as they grow in their art. This exhibit will also mark Isabela Ibanez’s debut into the local art scene. 

Featured as well as Irene’s long-time mentor, Roland Santos, a well-regarded watercolorist who has been painting since his teenage years and is praised today for his expressive series of old houses, flowers, horses, landscapes, and still-life.

To top it all off, there will also be a special performance by Finn Morrison on May 13 at Estancia for all mall-goers to enjoy. 

Give her a well-deserved break, and make sure to spoil her on her day with Ortigas Malls.
