‘Ber’ months have officially begun, signaling the start of the holiday season in the Philippines. For overseas Filipinos, there is no better way to jumpstart the festivities than to shop on TinBo (Tindahan ni Bossing). Through its partnership with Philippine-based online appliance stores ConcepStore and Mang Kosme, home to renowned brands like Carrier, Condura, Toshiba, SharkNinja, Midea, and Kelvinator — Filipinos living overseas can purchase their much-needed household and business appliances on TinBo, either to spruce up their home or give as a special gift to loved ones this Christmas.
