Rural Rising's Next Box-All-You-Can Will Be in a Five-Star Hotel
The social enterprise holds their next BATC event in a hotel for the first time.
(SPOT.ph) Inflation sucks, and it seems as though things are only getting worse from here on out. If you're responsible for grocery shopping, then you're likely aware of how badly it has affected our food budget—and it isn't any easier for the farmers as well.
Thankfully, Rural Rising Philippines' Box-All-You-Can is returning on October 15. Compared to the 12 previous BAYC runs, it won't be inside a mall. This time around, it'll be held in a five-star hotel, specifically at the Dusit Thani Manila.

Here are the details of Rural Rising's Box-All-You-Can at Dusit Thani Manila:
In a Facebook post by Rural Rising Philippines, it says that Dusit Thani Manila in Makati City is their first ever Box-All-You-Can (BAYC) in a hotel. Dusit Thani Manila offered their garden area as the venue for the BAYC where rescued fruits and vegetables sourced from local farmers—all the way from the Mountain Province and Cagayan—will be displayed.
According to the same post, a tentative list of what fresh produce to be expected during the BAYC are watermelons, lemons, radishes, corns, cucumbers, pineapples, bananas, and sweet potatoes. The Facebook post will be updated as more fruits and vegetables are confirmed to be part of the event.
BAYC at Dusit Thani Manila is happening on October 15 (Sunday), from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Each box costs P799 and the person participating in the BAYC can fill the box with as much produce as they can within 10 minutes only.
Best part? There's no weight limit! As long as it fits within the dimensions of the box, then you can take it home.
What is Rural Rising's Box All You Can?
If it's your first rodeo at a BAYC, this is basically a hakot-all-you-can challenge wherein shoppers can fit as many fruits and vegetables as they want inside a box, for a fixed price (which is the entrance fee). But at its core, Rural Rising's BAYC aims to help distressed farmers all over Luzon by rescuing different fruits and vegetables, which are the fresh produce sold during BAYC events. All income earned during Rural Rising's BAYC events goes directly to the farmers.
