Who knew that factory waste and plastic can generate income and extract the creative juices of ordinary people like Virgie Buencochillo and Rene Sison? Founder of Invisible Institute Ann Wizer did. By collaborating with NGO Gems Heart, Wizer originally hoped to offer women creative ways to generate income and empower themselves. After ten weeks, the institute grew and transformed into an organization that utilizes the creativity of both men and women in creating everything from stylish bags to sandals by crocheting waste materials such as plastic bags, lighters, unused and rejected syringes.

UPBEAT. A Filipino shopper walks into a foreign brand clothes shop at a Manila shopping mall on November 5, 2008. Consumers remain upbeat in the Philippines, splurging on clothes, holidays and gadgetry despite the financial crisis rocking the world, a Nielsen Co. survey announced November 6, 2008. The Philippines was one of only seven out of 51 countries which did not experience a drop in consumer confidence this year according to an on-line survey of 500 middle-class people conducted by Nielsen from September 22 to October 6. Nielsen credited this to the increased remittances of the eight million Filipinos working overseas, saying this cushioned the country from the effects of the financial crisis in the United States and Europe.

Singularly, drift wood looks ordinary and to some extent, even trashy; but when put together to sculpt into a figure, it becomes a piece of art that's profitable at the same time. INQUIRER.net multimedia reporter Marjorie Gorospe interviews artist James Webb, the owner of Cebu Homecraft, about their distinct products and how they generate profit from it. Jenno Gacasan, artist and resident designer, also shares his thoughts on the pieces.

Dangwa is famed for having the best flowers at an affordable price.
