Via GRAPHIC PLUS — Our Market successfully concluded its third school visit for the OMG! Campus Tour at St. Paul College Pasig (SPCP) on February 9, 2026, attracting over 700 students to join the platform.

The one-day event simultaneously conducted a hands-on chocolate-making workshop featuring Chef Christian Valdes, Founder and Head Chocolatier of CMV Txokolat, and a sponsors’ fair with Evian, Barilla, Ceres, Australia’s Own, Philadelphia, and Selecta.

The visit provided students with practical learning experiences in culinary and entrepreneurship aspects, alongside heightened excitement from giveaway products, including sparkling water, Arrabbiata sauce, orange juice, almond milk, cream cheese, and mini Magnum ice cream sticks.

The Build A Bar: The Art of Chocolate-Making provided insights into chocolate history and preparation techniques, including tempering, flavor balancing, and recipe variations. Participants from SPCP’s G.I.F.T. Development Program, particularly those enrolled in the Culinary Arts track, were at an advantage to experience a top-quality workshop up close, serving as a finale for their calendar of events.

The sponsors’ fair allowed students to interact with well-known brands to experience their products firsthand. Through the collaboration of DTC Promos, Inc. with Federated Distributors, Inc. (FDI) and Unilever Philippines, the fair turned out to be a success.

The G.I.F.T. Development Program of St. Paul College aims to nurture specialized skills among students by bridging academic training with real-world exposure. This partnership with Our Market on its OMG! Campus Tour was not only a gathering but also an effective way of instilling entrepreneurship and hands-on skills that extend beyond the classroom.

At the end of 2025, the OMG! Campus Tour has already visited the Polytechnic University of the Philippines, Manila, Chiang Kai Shek College, and other schools as support. Its plans continue to expand with other institutions lined up, such as Jose Rizal University, MGC New Life Christian Academy, and Technological University of the Philippines, Cavite,  to create a community of students prepared for both higher education and professional development.
