You've built the Philippines' warmest MSME community — 1,250 STAR MSMEs, real stories, real reach. Today they sell at events and through features. Let's make them sell every single day — one online marketplace, with bXTRA/PASUYO delivering across Metro Manila.
The opportunity
Nakakalocal already gathers, mentors, and spotlights MSMEs — but buying happens in bursts: a weekend pop-up, a featured article, a mall activation. A permanent marketplace turns that goodwill into daily orders, recurring income for the makers, and a living data asset for Philstar.
How we fit
Each side does what it's best at. Nobody rebuilds what the other already has.
Not a mockup — it's already running
This is a live marketplace with a sample NCR cohort. Browse makers, build a basket across sellers, and check out — a real order is placed and routed for PASUYO delivery. Imagine it with all 1,250.
The plan
Onboard 50–100 STAR MSMEs in NCR. Live storefront, multi-seller cart, NCR delivery by PASUYO, ratings. Prove daily orders.
Automated per-maker settlement, seller analytics, loyalty, and "shop the feature" — Philstar articles linked straight to products.
Expand delivery zones, tier perks to the STAR MSME Membership, in-app academy with Go Negosyo. The movement, always on.
Why bXTRA
This isn't a slide deck. The platform and the riders behind Nakakalocal are the same engine running live food & errand delivery today.
The ask
A short pilot with a curated NCR cohort: we stand up the marketplace under the Nakakalocal brand, you bring the makers and the audience, and PASUYO delivers. Low risk, real orders, real maker income from week one.
Commercials are tailored to the partnership and discussed separately. Powered by PASUYO by bXTRA.
