Our Story
About HobbySwap PH
Built by a collector, for collectors.
JC
Jowel Castañeda
Founder & Developer
HobbySwap PH was born out of a passion for collecting and a frustration with the lack of a safe, trusted platform for trading collectibles in the Philippines. As a collector himself, Jowel built HobbySwap PH to give fellow hobbyists a home — a place where deals are done with trust, transparency, and community.
Our Mission
HobbySwap PH is the Philippines' invite-only trading platform for collectibles — basketball cards, Pokémon, One Piece, and more. We keep the community tight-knit and trusted by vetting every member before they can trade.
Every feature — from verified tiers to the escrow service — exists to protect collectors and make every trade a good one.
