On November 12, 2024, Vertaccount had the honor of supporting the Pacific Century Fellows (PCF) during their very first Philippine trip. The Aloha Reception, held at New World Hotel in Manila, brought together business leaders from Hawai‘i and the Philippines. It was a night of stories, shared vision, and connections that stretched across the Pacific.
For us at Vertaccount, this event wasn’t only about introductions. It was about showing what happens when business and community values come together. Alongside SCALE Staffing, we welcomed the PCF community and celebrated a partnership close to our heart, Kamay Krafts.
The handmade bags gifted to fellows weren’t just tokens, they were crafted by women artisans who transform discarded juice packs into sustainable, functional pieces. Each one carries a story of resilience, creativity, and empowerment. By supporting Kamay Krafts, Vertaccount helps provide meaningful work for women who are rewriting their future with every stitch.
Being part of the PCF’s Philippine journey reminded us that leadership is not just about business growth. It’s also about lifting others, empowering communities, and creating opportunities that last.
If you’d like to carry that story forward, you can explore Kamay Krafts’ handmade creations here and to learn more about the Pacific Century Fellows and their inspiring work, visit here.
