Penshoppe brings international brand ambassadors Bella Hadid, Lucky Blue Smith, Kaia Gerber, and Sandara Park among many other big names to help everyone to start talking about the pressing issue of bullying in the country. In a recent study, 1 out 2 Filipino students have experienced or witnessed bullying in their schools. With the advent of social media, bullying has become a more convenient avenue to spread hate and thrive on people’s insecurities.

“Our society, especially today’s youth, faces the harsh reality of bullying just because we may look or act differently from others. Penshoppe believes that there is a need for us to use our voices and influence everyone to take a stand against bullying”, Bascon notes.

Penshoppe’s newest collection of tees and caps features limited edition #IAmDifferent with campaign statements “I Am Different” and “Different is good”. To add, the collection features construction from luxe fabric and with a special identifier: a unique serial number.

Purchases from the collection will benefit development of a module that discourages bullying and encourages acceptance in public school children, in partnership with Teach For The Philippines.

Growing social media post have already commenced by ClubPenshoppePH members Loisa Andalio, Ronnie Alonte, Sofia Andres, Tanner Mata, Maria Fabiana, and Emilio Perez. Songs were performed by local artist like Alab Pilipinas head coach Jimmy Alapag, SheTalks Asia co-founder Vicky Herrera, entrepreneur Patti Grandidge, singer/songwriter Keiko Necesario, and others.
