Push Phil­ip­pines is a UK / Phil­ip­pines based non-profit organ­isa­tion that aims to nur­ture skate­board com­munit­ies in the Phil­ip­pines through a sus­tain­able dona­tion pro­gram. Foun­ded in 2021 from humble begin­nings, Push Phil­ip­pines has been able to deliv­er over 500 KG’s a year of donated skate­board product to over 20 dif­fer­ent skate com­munit­ies nation­wide in the Phil­ip­pines. The Push dona­tion pro­gram exists solely due to the gen­er­os­ity and kind­ness of the skate­board com­munity in Lon­don, the UK and glob­ally. It is also able to flour­ish thanks to reg­u­lar donors at brands, dis­tri­bu­tions and skate shops. The pro­gram grows year by year, expand­ing and reach­ing more skate com­munit­ies in the Philippines.

These series of films show­case the story and ori­gins of Push Phil­ip­pines thus far — both in the fore­front and behind the scenes — as well as high­light­ing the skate com­munit­ies that our
work impacts and how they func­tion. ‘Balikbay­an’ is some­what of a tra­di­tion­al skate video fea­tur­ing our crew at Push with accom­pa­ny­ing Vans riders shot on our most recent tour last Decem­ber where we trav­elled around the Visay­as region of the Phil­ip­pines, hand­ing out dona­tions to dif­fer­ent skate com­munit­ies, dis­cov­er­ing and show­cas­ing the loc­al tal­ent along the way.
