Following its launch on Oct. 17, 2025, Our Market brought its chocolate-making class roadshow and brand activations to Chiang Kai Shek College on Nov. 21, 2025, making it the first-ever stop of their pioneering campaign, OMG! Go Beyond Campuses, Go Beyond Connection!, a tour across campuses aimed at interacting with students and institutional staff through engaging activities and giveaways.

The audience, consisting of students from the Bachelor of Science in Hospitality Management program, was warmly welcomed by Chiang Kai Shek College’s executive dean, Jessica Lhay Asaña Tan, and enlightened about Our Market’s services as the newest digital magazine and resource hub for all types of learners and entrepreneurs.
The chocolate-making workshop was led by chef Christian Valdes, the founder of premium chocolate brand CMV Txokolat. Demonstrating and later sampling three different chocolate variants: Fruit & Nut Mendiant, Sweet, Salty, and Spicy Nib Bar, and Dark Chocolate Truffle, chef Christian helped the audience truly grasp the beauty of turning raw cacao into profitable, market-worthy products.

The event was beyond a chocolate-making experience but also a winning moment for lucky participants who won portable bluetooth speakers and wristwatches from DTC Promos, Inc., the company behind Our Market. Later on, the event also highlighted the impressive capability of Unox ovens as presented by Unox Philippines’ marketing development specialist, chef Alphie Tabuzo.
Down at the lobby, the sampling activity was buzzing with excitement from students of different programs all over the campus. The area featured Our Market’s sponsor partners which generously gave out gifts to those who took the time to visit their booths. Brand sponsors include Barilla and Tulip of Federated Distributors, Inc. (FDI), Search Commercial, Inc. (SCI), and Unox Philippines.

Through this event, Our Market was able to connect with the student body and reach a crucial type of audience in this generation where high-quality, credible content is most needed. Our Market’s mission of providing such is a reflection of its passion, to the point of centering its first campaign around the young whose minds and capabilities dictate the future.
Chiang Kai Shek College was a highly fitting institution in this endeavor, looking at its steady development and long history of producing quality students, top public figures in the country included such as Henry Sy and Lucio Tan. Founded in 1939, CKSC is close to reaching a whole century of uniting a Filipino-Chinese community equipped with academic skills, wisdom, incorruptibility, and honor, committed to nation-building and international concern.
