Shifting from a former storefront under Iskaparate.com, Our Market transitions as a new digital publishing platform for topics on business, culture, food, and lifestyle. Its mission revolves around promoting Filipino culture and entrepreneurship through powerful storytelling and serving as a bridge between businesses to nurture growth.
As one of its pioneering campaigns, Our Market holds an opening event to launch OMG! Campus Tour at De La Salle College of Saint Benilde on October 17, 2025, with a free chocolate-making demo featuring CMV Txokolat’s chocolatier, Elaine Santiago.
Backing this milestone are key partnerships with local and international organizations that share the vision of empowering businesses and consumers at the same time.
The Landscape of Our Market
The chocolate-making demo is bolstered through the hands-on assistance of Unox, a global brand partner of Our Market which offers commercial kitchen technology made to solve problems faced by food businesses. Beyond advanced technology, Unox is also recognized for excellent after-sales support and ensuring businesses can consistently rely on their equipment as they grow.
Launching alongside Our Market is Tagumpay IT’S ALL GOOD, a digital media channel operated by ARDA Media Solutions Corporation, to promote stories rooted in Filipino values, faith, family, education, wellness, and public service. For the event, Tagumpay is poised to further connect communities and share inspiring journeys.

Nayong Kalikasan Organic Farm, on the other hand, represents the agricultural and environmental thrust of Our Market’s partnerships. Situated in Alfonso, Cavite, the farm uses advanced techniques like aquaponics and drip irrigation while maintaining natural farming practices. It also supports coffee heritage preservation through maintenance of a nursery for Kapeng Barako or Liberica coffee, an almost endangered variety native to the Philippines. Nayong Kalikasan inspires a new generation to see agriculture not just as livelihood, but as a vital cultural and entrepreneurial resource.
Being an online magazine and resource hub, Our Market’s e-commerce feature is part of their empowerment for Filipino small and medium enterprises (SMEs), with Iskaparate as one of the communities/platforms supported.
Iskaparate specializes in providing a space where small enterprises can list their products and gain visibility. Within Iskaparate’s platform are specialized storefronts such as Hypha, which offers sustainable skin and bodycare products Suy Sing, a wholesale grocery supplier with more than 9,000 items essential to sari-sari stores and other retailers. For consumers, its B2C storefront highlights high-quality local products in both food and non-food categories.
Aside from Iskaparate, community-driven groups such as Sarap Pilipinas, a community of food businesses that share and promote the best of Filipino flavors, and the Philippine Hot Sauce Club, a group of local hot sauce businesses, exhibit Filipino creativity through food innovation through active event and bazaar participation.
