Make these Filipino products a part of your space or, better yet, a part of your daily routine
More than we’d like to admit it, colonial mentality can still get the best of us. From fashion to lifestyle and even food, we still have that mindset that anything foreign is of better quality compared to something Filipino-made. It’s high time, though, that we realize our so-called Pinoy pride should come with supporting our local artisans.
