Philippines boycotts imports to push Malikira shoes

Recently, a report on the Philippine national website has written that the Filipino people have worn the shoes of Malikira for generations. The snakeshoe shoes they made caused a sensation in Fifth Avenue in New York City in the early 1980s. However, due to natural disasters and competition from some foreign manufacturers, the footwear industry in the Philippines was seriously injured. From the peak of the mid-1990s to more than 3,000 shoe-making factories, there are now only 200.

The chairman of the Malikira Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Tayawa, even said, “You can spend 5 years to buy a pair of Malikira shoes, and you can buy a pair of Chinese-made shoes at a price of one-fifth, but only for a few months. From this report, it is not difficult to see that the media in the Philippines are appealing to local people to purchase local footwear.

At the same time, the Philippines’s famous footwear museum, which had previously been closed down, has recently been reopened, and it is willing to find local footwear products collected by the former first lady, Ibero-Marcos.

Immigration is the wife of former President Marcos and she likes to collect some expensive shoes, including many Malikira shoes. According to relevant officials, the opening of this museum will make it easy for visitors to visit the local shoes that Imai also loves to buy. Maybe they may also buy Malikira shoes.
