00:12Today, we're finally here with Shoe Avenue, a dedicated space that puts Marikina's shoemakers and Filipino footwear front and center.
00:24For those who aren't from Marikina, Shoe Avenue is in fact a real street. It's a way for us to
00:32honor, celebrate Marikina as a pilgrim's capital.
00:49Well, it's been something that we're doing as a hub. We bring different makers, designers, and brands together.
00:57We want to be able to show the new take on what we can make here in Marikina. Our family
01:04has been making shoes since 1887.
01:07I am at my fifth generation, but what's more important is how we can pass this on from one generation
01:14to the other.
01:15And the best way is to welcome the different brands to come together to do so.
01:20So this space hopefully can showcase what we can offer individually as a brand, show them the different expressions of
01:31what we can make in Marikina and bring it closer to you guys.
