Fashion Question Time: The Ukay-Ukay Revolution

In line with the Fashion Revolution Week theme #RightsRelationshipsRevolution, Fashion Revolution Philippines present their first Fashion Question Time will be intertwined with Fashion Revolution Philippines' 2019 study on 'The Impact of the Importation of Second-Hand Clothing in the Philippines'. It will tackle the ukay-ukay scene and all its pros and cons. From the illegality of the enterprise, it's gentrification through the boom of online resellers, to the Philippines as a textile waste dumpsite of richer countries, we will be delving into how secondhand clothing is shaping our country today. Joining us as the panelists are Assistant Professor Luisito Abueg, Engr. Aloysius C. Mapalo representing Baguio City Mayor’s Office, William Barry H.
