MOMMY MUNDO WORLD: THE ULTIMATE MOM RESOURCE DESTINATION
Mommy Mundo, the first multi-platform resource for moms in the Philippines, put out all the stops in launching its new major offering to our mommy community last weekend, February 16-17, at The Fifth, Rockwell R5, Powerplant Mall.
Way beyond being just a bazaar, Mommy Mundo World was the place to be for expectant parents and young moms and dads looking for the right information and support to guide them through intentional parenthood.
With over 100 vendors, parenting support and services, the weekend was jam-packed with the best mom and baby finds and family essentials, relevant talks and parent-focused enterprises, especially homegrown mompreneurships that Mommy Mundo World made sure to shine the light on.
Ria Campos of @himbing.ph opened Saturday’s program with her talk on Baby Sleep then a Barre Workout with @physique57manila got our moms energized! Also lined up were the Interactive Storytelling Adventures with host and founder of Make Believe Productions, Lesley Lina. The kids were all game and so were the kids at heart! A major highlight was the Dad Talk by Life Coach JJ Yulo with Dadvocacy Panel were JR Santiago, Ian Monsod, Gary Villanueva, Simon Villalon and Franco Chan where Dads shared interesting insights on raising their children.
