What if every stroke of a colored pencil could help build a better future for a Filipino student?

At The Plastic Flamingo (The Plaf), we believe that creativity and environmental responsibility go hand in hand. That’s why we are thrilled to spotlight our ongoing collaboration with STABILO Ph, National Book Store, and Pandayan Bookshop for the "Color with STABILO. Provide Chairs for Students" campaign.

Turning Plastic Waste into Hopeful Classrooms

Every year, tons of plastic waste pollute our environment, while public schools across the country face continuous shortages of durable classroom furniture.

Through this special partnership, we’re bridging that gap. We take single-use plastic waste and upcycle it into 100% recycled, waterproof, and termite-free school chairs designed to last for generations.

By simply purchasing your favorite art supplies, you become an active part of this circular economy.

How the Campaign Works (Only 1 Month Left!)

Running from May 1 to August 31, 2026, this campaign turns everyday art supplies into real-world impact:

✏️ The Goal: For every 280 participating STABILO colored pencil sets sold, one recycled plastic school chair is funded and donated to a public school in need.
📍 Where to Buy: Pick up your participating STABILO sets at any National Book Store or Pandayan Bookshop branch nationwide (or online).
⏳ Time is Ticking: With August officially here, there is only one month left to make your purchase count toward this initiative!

Why Your Purchase Matters

When you choose STABILO, you aren't just buying colored pencils. you are:

Diverting Plastic Waste: Keeping hard-to-recycle plastics out of our landfills and oceans.
Empowering Filipino Learners: Giving students safe, sturdy, and climate-resilient chairs to study on.
Fostering Sustainable Habits: Teaching young artists that creativity can create a tangible, positive impact on the planet.
