MAKATI, PHILIPPINES, August 2026 — Locally Made, made possible by UPNXT, officially launched its first run at Ayala Malls Circuit Makati from August 28 to 30, 2026, bringing together a vibrant community of Filipino entrepreneurs, creatives, makers, and homegrown brands.
Created as a platform to champion Filipino creativity, entrepreneurship, and local talent, Locally Made celebrates the people and ideas behind the country’s growing community of proudly Filipino brands and discoveries. From food and drink, fashion, beauty, home and lifestyle, art, pets, wellness, and fun random local anik-anik, the event celebrates the wide and wonderfully diverse world of Filipino creativity.
Organized by UPNXT in collaboration with DiscoverMNL, Locally Made is a step toward building a stronger and more connected ecosystem for local brands, Pinoy talent, Filipino creatives, and emerging entrepreneurs.
More than a marketplace, the event served as a space for discovery, conversation, and community. Its curated lineup of products, experiences, and activities showcased the diversity, creativity, and entrepreneurial spirit that continue to drive the local scene forward.
“Locally Made was created with the belief that Filipino talent deserves to be discovered, celebrated, and supported,” the organizers shared. “This first run is only the beginning. We hope to continue creating more opportunities for homegrown brands and creatives to connect with new audiences and with one another.”
With a strong first run at Ayala Malls Circuit Makati, Locally Made marks the beginning of a growing movement to put more Filipino creativity, craftsmanship, and entrepreneurship in the spotlight.
One down, more to go.
The celebration continues as Locally Made returns to Ayala Malls Circuit Makati from September 11 to 13, 2026, bringing together even more homegrown brands, local makers, creatives, and communities for another weekend of proudly Filipino discoveries.
