5 Reasons Why We Should Adulate Local Products

Human Nature (2014) emphasizes that international brands and products are acknowledged all over the world. They have the propensity to attain and earn their image, status and reputation from their customers like you who admire their products and help them build up their names to fame. But how many of your purchased resources are made proudly in the Philippines? 

We Filipinos should support our own local brands and our skilled craftsmen because they produce an incredulous impact on our nation. Here are five reasons why you should buy local: First, Resourcefulness is one common trait a Filipino have. Filipinos can create almost anything out of nothingness with their creativity skills. Filipino creativity has raised various outstanding products that are featured in advertisements. Second, Buying local commodities arouses our economy. We Filipinos can help boost our economy in our own simple ways. We just need to love, patronize and buy our own products. Third, Buying local products in an eco-friendly move. When we buy international products, there are more build up wastes that harm our nature. Fourth, Buying local products supports farmers and third-world citizens. Farmers are having a hard time earning money, what more if we prefer other commodities rather than our own products? We should know how to spend our money wisely. Lastly, Buying local products negates colonial mentality. We need to have a mindset that proudly Pinoy products are and will always be the best.
