Why not just plant trees?

Trees clean the air, provide shade and cools, renewable, low cost. Beautifies the bike lanes. Just install the solar panels on top of existing waiting sheds, mala bulig pa ina insulate samg init sa dalum sang sheds.

This structure is more expensive, does not help purify the air.

This is a lot of money.

Not all heroes wear capes. Some craft pens.

Banwa Pens, a local workshop based in Iloilo City led by Sir Noynoy Vallejo, was commissioned to create the official ballpoint pens used during the 48th ASEAN Summit and yes, that means Ilonggo-made pens were literally in the hands of Southeast Asia’s most powerful leaders.

How did it happen? The ASEAN National Organizing Council discovered Banwa Pens through LIKHA, a project spearheaded by First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos that spotlights Filipino artisans and local enterprises from across the country. One look at what Sir Noynoy and his team could do, and the rest is history.

Each pen was crafted from carabao horn for the body and madre de cacao wood for the cap — two deeply Filipino materials shaped entirely by hand with the kind of precision and patience that no machine can replicate. These weren’t just functional writing instruments. They were quiet, elegant statements of what Filipino craftsmanship looks like at its finest.

And to think it all came from a workshop right here in Iloilo.

There’s something deeply moving about a local artisan’s work making its way into one of the region’s most significant diplomatic gatherings. No flashy branding, no big corporation behind it — just skill, local materials, and a whole lot of love for the craft

Iloilo has always had world-class talent. Banwa Pens just proved it — one handcrafted pen at a time.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
