Bernie Liu, President and CEO of Golden ABC, announced to the media that Penshoppe, “[has] decided to help him further his cause.”
He also encouraged their loyal customers, “Get up for this advocacy and support his project.

“Earth is our only home and it is everyone’s mission to take good care of it.”
Ian was grateful to have been given this kind of support.
He said, “You know, I’ve never heard about a brand linking up with a foundation to literally promote good, not just to promote but also to raise the monetary resources and to actually put it in motion.
“I think we’re all gonna see real concrete progress very soon. So, thank you all for supporting that.”
Ian also saw this new partnership to further their mission to educate people, especially the youth who are the primary customers of Penshoppe.
Just like he thought about The Vampire Diaries, which is a hit to young audiences.
“What I realized is, to use that exposure for the greater good and actually educate the youth of the world.
“In my view, youth is the most under-used, under-appreciated, and under-valued group of people in the world. We do not put them to wheels of motion. We put them to wheels of education in motion.
“Also to empower our people, empower our youth to be smarter consumers, to be aware of conservation and preservation. We start doing all of that and I think we’re gonna see major, major change.”
During his trip here, Ian found out that the Philippines is already doing something for the conservation and the preservation of the planet.
“Big corporations are taking massive strives in contacting, preserving everything, from the resources that fall from the sky to resources that we create.
“You guys are literally conserving in a corporate level, which no one does that and no one knows about that.
“I think that’s what we need to change, that the Filipino people are actually leading this charge into this green future. I think people should know that.”
