People wonder why we have a lot of stuff in our house that my father did not want to dispose, especially the shoes.
Zena Bernardo, a colleague from Sandigan Para sa Mag-aaral at Sambayanan of the University of the Philippines , narrated that in one of their visit in a small informal settlers community called Isla de Lata, she noticed that some shoe molds were already thrown or were being used as firewood for the community kitchen.
With at least 700 artists nationwide participating, the exhibit proceeds will go to community kitchen, disaster relief, livelihood projects and art workshops. Marikina, to many Filipinos, is synonymous with shoes. It was in 1887 when shoemaking started to flourish in Marikina through the efforts of Don Laureano “Kapitan Moy” Guevara, also known as the “Father of the Shoe Industry.”
However, trade liberalization has allowed greater entry of imports in the country. The shoe industry has been adversely affected as it suffered losses due mainly to the competition posed by products coming from China, Malaysia, and Vietnam, among others.
