“It has always been our mission in Klook to bring the best things to our customers anytime,” shares Michelle Cruz, Marketing Lead of Klook Philippines.
“Through our #FilipinoFirst campaign, we are able to showcase some of the best local products and experiences Filipinos can find. We also wanted to offer our platform to SMEs to give them an additional booking channel for their products and to showcase their brands to even more people. It is important that we show our support for our fellow Filipinos in however way we can, especially during this difficult situation.”
