SPARK: Likhang Pilipina Project

In society, women play a vital character role. They don't only do the dishes, the laundry, or the cooking. They are capable of much, but mysogyny still exists in the Philippines. Many women continue to face abuse and unfairness. In the Philippines, there are 56 million women, and they are not "just" women; they are women.

Likhang Pilipina is a project of SPARK!, in partnership with the Department of Trade Industry, Office of the Vice Mayor, and the Araneta Center, for women entrepreneurs from all over the country to have a window of opportunity here in the metro. These business women were provided with a space at AliMall in Cubao, Quezon City. These relatively big enough spaces have even filled hearts to be bigger and income more stable that give opportunities not only to these women, but their families and the communities they help out as well.

SPARK! membership is comprised of diverse women of all ages with a desire to help others and to help the nation; We are changemakers and servant-leaders. We believe that as a women, we should get involved in governance and participate in our nation and community's affairs.

Likhang Pilipina gives a platform for aspiring Filipina entrepreneurs to demonstrate their creativity and business talents; the market allows them to sell their goods to the general public.
