Recently, however, with RuRi\u2019s limited capacity, it has been difficult to purchase all their produce and thereby meet the full depth of the farmers\u2019 daily needs. RuRi mused on a Facebook post, \u201cIt was by divine providence and perfect timing that Ayala Malls offered the Activity Center of Alabang Town Center (ATC) for three full days to support our cause and bring local goods within the reach of its patrons.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Box All You Can is no simple shop-till-you-drop gig, instead, participants can collect all the fruits and vegetables they can fit inside a 14x14x8 box within 10 minutes. Ayala Corporation Associate Director Mariana Zobel de Ayala shared \u201cIt was so much fun. I love that it was gamified, that there was a time frame, it added a different adrenaline rush to it. And the veggies and fruits were so fresh and so organic, I was really impressed by the whole experience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-65445\" src=\"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2022\/06\/Ayala-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2022\/06\/Ayala-2.jpg 450w, https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2022\/06\/Ayala-2-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><em><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\">IMAGE from Ayala Malls<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p>The success of Box-All-You-Can at Alabang Town Center prompted the continuation, as well as a variation, of the acclaimed effort.
