More about NIÑA CORPUZ

A multi-hyphenate powerhouse, Niña Corpuz is best known for her broadcast journalism on ABS-CBN News and Current Affairs. But she is also an advocate for the preservation of local culture and art. She founded Nina Inabel, a clothing brand that supports farmers and weavers in Ilocos Norte. They create the handwoven fabric, Abel Iloco or Inabel, an age-old tradition using ancient looms.

She supports Bin-i Foundation, a non-profit that sends poor but deserving students to school. This foundation is also seeking to preserve a heritage house in San Nicolas, built in the 1900s, as well as promoting local pottery— “damili,” and promoting local weaves and weavers.
