📣 Leadership Update
Bokashi Pinoy is pleased to share a leadership update and formally recognize key members of our growing team.
We are happy to announce Zarah Alexis Francisco as General Manager and Researcher.
Zarah has been managing the day-to-day operations of Bokashi Pinoy since May 2025, supporting operational coordination, supplier engagement, and business continuity. Throughout this transition period, she has worked closely with Lanie Francisco in a coaching and mentorship capacity, enabling a gradual, structured, and learning-oriented handover of responsibilities.
Alongside her operational role, Zarah contributes to applied, exploratory research at the intersection of natural fermentation processes, microbiology, and skin health, with a focus on responsible, non-clinical learning applications aligned with sustainability and circular economy principles. She is currently a freshman Medical Biology student at De La Salle University, and her academic training informs her curiosity-driven and research-led approach.
Following this period of hands-on learning and supported transition, Zarah is now fully prepared to continue leading Bokashi Pinoy’s daily operations as General Manager and Researcher, with clarity, humility, and a strong commitment to growth.
We also wish to recognize Paula Escote, who continues her role as Part-Time Sales Officer. Paula has been with Bokashi Pinoy since its early beginnings, providing steady support in sales and customer engagement and contributing meaningfully to the organization’s growth journey.
This update reflects a deliberate, mentored, and team-centered transition, grounded in continuity, learning, and long-term sustainability.
