South Trading Post (STP) recently celebrated two strong years of its merchant community, gathering everyone on February 27, 2026, in a milestone event proudly powered by DITO BizBayan. This celebration marked the culmination of several successful events over the past months, showcasing the growing strength and engagement of the STP community.
The journey began with the STP 2nd Southversary, held from November 7 to 9, 2025, at Alabang Town Center, where merchants and visitors came together to commemorate STP’s growth. The festive spirit continued with the South Sleigh Ride on December 20 to 21, 2025, at G Studios Alabang, bringing the community together for holiday-themed celebrations. Most recently, Love You So Matcha, from February 13 to 15, 2026, at Alabang Town Center, highlighted the creativity and innovation of STP merchants through interactive experiences and engaging promotions.
Across all these initiatives, DITO BizBayan provided connectivity support that powered various digital requirements during the events, from merchant transactions to online engagement. By supporting both merchant operations and production internet requirements, DITO BizBayan enabled digital payments, social media engagement, and other connectivity needs for exhibitors and organizers throughout the events.
