Each pin is attached to a backing card that has the common and scientific names of the flowering tree, and comes packaged in a colored mesh pouch for easy gifting.
20% of the proceeds from the sales of the pins will be donated to the following groups, to be distributed as follows:
– 5% to Sitio Maguli Marginal Farmers Producers Cooperative in Sierra Madre
– 5% to the Kitanglad Guard Volunteers Association Inc. (KGVAI) in Bukidnon

A portion of the remaining proceeds from sales will be used to produce more materials that can help spread the advocacy.
