Philippine Bonsai Society and SM Supermalls launched Sanib Pwersa
If you’re into bonsai or you want to learn more about it then you’re in
for a treat as the Philippine Bonsai Society Inc. (PBSI) and SM Supermalls joined
hands in showcasing new and fun activities for SM mall-goers with exhibits,
shows, events, and workshops led by local and international bonsai experts.
Dubbed “SANIB PWERSA,“ the event was
officially launched last February 21 at The Podium displaying select and premium
bonsai collections of over 30 clubs participants.
During the launch, SM Supermalls senior vice president for marketing
Jonjon San Agustin shared, 'We are thankful to the Philippine Bonsai Society
for choosing SM malls as the venue for their exhibitions as we also promote our
advocacy for the environment, to bring the ‘green' matting experience to our
customers."
On the other hand, Philippine Bonsai Society
President Bobby Gopiao said, “We are very excited to bring bonsai to a wider
audience as we hold our shows and exhibits in SM malls across the country in
the coming months."
Bonsai enthusiasts can also head to the north
for the National Show on March 22 to 25 at The Block SM North EDSA for the
first time where three Japanese art disciplines will be featured at the event
at SM North EDSA. Thanks to the combined efforts of the PBSI, Natural Stone
Society of the Philippines and lkenobo-lkebana Society of Manila customers can
also look forward to seeing rare bonsai species such as the Diospyros
(Persimmons), a genus of over 700 species of deciduous and evergreen trees and
shrubs; Tugas (Molave), a medium-sized tree which grows 15 meters whose leaves
are compound with 3 leaflets; and the Sampalok (Tamarind), an attractive tree
valued for its shade and edible fruit with bright green, dense, pinnate and
feathery foliage.
The PBSI started as an informal group of
enthusiasts back in 1973 and became a non-stock non-profit association in 1975.
Today, PBSI is an internationally recognized association with close to 500
active members and a growing number of followers among provincial bonsai clubs.
