MANLA FAME 2012    

Are you an avid fan of exhibits? Well, I must say, I am! Attending exhibits is both mind-cultivating and culture moving.  Thus, when a good friend of mine whom I had the same flight going here in Manila, Junnie Artajo, invited me to visit his display during Manila Fame 2012, I gave my word.

Manila F.A.M.E. (Furnishings and Apparel Manufacturers' Exchange) International is a bi-annual trade show organized by the Center for International Trade Expositions and Missions, the export promotions arm of the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI). Last 17-20 October 2012, Manila FAME, Asia's Design and Lifestyle event, highlighted the Filipino artisans and their craftsmanship as the soul of the country for its 56^th edition.

God knows how Mr. Dong Olmedo (Visual Merchandising Head) and I squeezed out our time during breaks from training just to pay a visit to the event. Few personalities were seen like Boy Abunda (who looked at me head to toe), Mich Dulce, Amina Aranaz, Reese Fernandez-Ruiz, and Angel Aquino who did an interview with super brilliant Kenneth Cobonpue.
