Welcome Message from Joanna
Dear Human Nature Family,

Recently, I came across a global study that said "...more than 70% of the people surveyed felt most companies only engaged in corporate social responsibility initiatives to improve their own image". That same study also showed that "...only 20% of brands have a tangible positive impact on the lives of consumers overall." I look forward to the day when such numbers are things of the past - because that can happen and is, in fact, already happening. That people wholly believe that the companies and brands they patronize have a deep impact not just on the consumers they serve but also on the people and communities - most especially the poor - they work with. Because when I go to work at Human Nature everyday, as I meet the people behind Human Nature and the dealers like you, as I see all the other social enterprise brands at Gawad Kalinga's Center for Social Innovation, I see brands working towards creating a more abundant life for every Filipino. Rather than being a business with a corporate social responsibility department, Human Nature is an enterprise driven by its responsibility to the Philippines and the Filipinos, that happens to do quite well at creating a pretty good business opportunity for our branch operators, our dealers, and our partner farming communities. If there were a mantra that I would like to share with you all, it is this: FOR EVERY FILIPINO. As you continue to be advocates of Human Nature and all the other Filipino social enterprise brands, you are living out an advocacy that promotes a better life for every Filipino.

God bless,

Joanna Gilladoga

Human Nature Flagship Store Launch


This is how the store looks like at dusk.

February 21 was a night where an enchanted forest was lit up along the busy highway of Commonwealth Avenue, Quezon City. Human Nature opened its flagship store - a beautiful, unique and truly amazing Filipino concept store; a first of its kind located on this side of town.

Human Nature President and co-founder Anna Meloto-Wilk welcomed guests and talked about her love for Quezon City - a city very close to her heart, a city where her family has been residing for the past 26 years, a city where the Human Nature Filipino concept store now stands, ready to showcase world-class Filipino products. Father and Founder of Gawad Kalinga, Tony Meloto was also there to inspire others. He talked about how young Filipino talent will help fulfill the Philippines' destiny to become the 16th biggest economy in the world and how the Philippines is now the gateway to Asia. The store opening was also graced with the presence of Vice Mayor Joy Belmonte, guest speaker of the night, who talked about Quezon City working closely with social entrepreneurs and making the city a green, nature lover's paradise.

Members of the press and special guests also had the chance to taste the many scrumptious, mouth-watering cheese platters, organic burger patties, bambutido, banana-bamboo muffins and other delicious food prepared and served by the wonderful social entrepreneurs and also got to taste the delicious Enchantea and famous Café de Sug Sulu Coffee. They also got to go on a mini shopping spree taking home Human Nature and other Center for Social Innovation (CSI) products.

The night ended on a high note with lots of filled tummies and shopping bags and a stronger appreciation of Philippine-made products... Truly world-class products.


On one side of the store is our area for Center for Social Innovation, where social enterprise brands showcase their world-class products.


Gawad Kalinga Founder Tony Meloto enjoys a bite to eat with our French Social Entrepreneur volunteer, Fabien Courteille, who helped serve delicious organic food from the GK Enchanted Farm.

Like we do at all special occasions, we began the evening's program with a prayer.


Our beautiful store was designed by two young and very talented architects, Maureen Adraneda and Joyce Angara.


We even have a children's corner where your kids can hang out and play while you get your fill of Human Nature goodies!


"This is the time to rise. This is the best time to be a Filipino," said Gawad Kalinga Founder Tony Meloto during the launch.


Our new flagship store in Commonwealth Avenue, Quezon City. Come visit us soon!

PLEASE NOTE: Orders placed through the phone/online for pick up at the store now need to be paid at time of order by credit card or Paypal.
