Team Punique Ends the Year on a High Note: A National Milestone Achieved!
We are thrilled to announce a monumental achievement for Team Punique—we are one of this year’s CHAMPIONS of the BPI Sinag Social Enterprise Challenge! This prestigious recognition marks our very first national award, officially placing us on the social enterprise map of the Philippines. It’s a proud and humbling moment for our entire team as we celebrate this milestone that validates our commitment to creating meaningful impact through our craft.
The road to this achievement was no easy feat. After a rigorous selection process, we were privileged to join the BPI Sinag Bootcamp, organized by BPI Foundation and Bayan Academy. This transformative experience provided us with invaluable training on how to scale up our social enterprise effectively. With the guidance of some of the country’s best coaches, we gained insights and tools to enhance the sustainability and reach of our initiatives, allowing us to amplify our impact on our partner communities.
As part of this award, we also received a financial grant that will enable us to implement our social enterprise development plans with excellence. This grant will not only help us sustain our mission but also fuel our passion for creating innovative products inspired by the traditional art of “puni.”
While the recognition and resources are significant, the heart of this achievement lies in the dedication, perseverance, and creativity of our incredible Punique team. Every milestone we reach is a testament to the hard work, grit, and passion of every individual committed to promoting our advocacies of women empowerment, cultural heritage preservation, and environmental sustainability.
We extend our deepest gratitude to BPI Foundation and Bayan Academy for believing in our potential and supporting our vision. To our loyal clients and supporters—thank you for choosing our products, not only for their quality and uniqueness but also for the stories and values they represent. Your unwavering support inspires us to continue this journey with purpose and pride.
Above all, we thank our Divine Creator for guiding us and making us instruments of blessings for others.
As 2023 comes to a close, we look back with gratitude and forward with excitement. Here’s to a bigger, brighter, and bolder 2024 for Team Punique! Together, we will continue to create, innovate, and make a difference.
