Finally, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention Signet in Manilla. They're a multi-brand store, not necessarily a maker, but they have such great taste in both casualwear and tailoring. If I was in Manilla, I would make a beeline to their store and buy whatever they recommended.
I also like their Western-styled tailoring, especially their dinner suits. I appreciate that they stick to classic proportions—jacket that bisects the wearer halfway from collar to the floor, no sleevehead divot, and moderately shaped lapels.
On the Philippines islands, you can also find Tiño Suits, where they make fully bespoke hand-embroidered barong tagalogs. This formal shirt combines precolonial native Filipino and colonial Spanish clothing styles and is made through a series of four fittings.
Let's move on to some Filipino makers. Michael Cinco has dressed celebs like Beyonce, Rihanna, and Jennifer Lopez. There's a ton of handwork that goes into his couture creations, such as hand-embroidery and hand-attached Swarovski crystals, carefully mapped to catch light.
“Kung ‘di kayo tumigil, huhukayin ko yang tatay ninyo, itatapon ko siya sa West Philippine Sea."
The only time that Sara Duterte talked about the West Philippine Sea.
Maraming salamat Sen Risa! Kung di nyo inungkat ang mga POGO malamang di pa siya na-ban. Dapat may kasabay ang ban-- pagpapanagot sa mga salarin AT mga government officials na kakonchave at kumita sa kanila.
LOOK: Members of the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee in the 18th Congress who signed and did not sign the committee report on the alleged misuse of government funds for pandemic supplies.
In 2 hours, the House human rights committee has:
1. Told drug war victims "it's preposterous" to be afraid
2. Asked human rights lawyer @ChelDiokno if he has political motivation
3. Guilted Pulitzer-award winning journalist Manny Mogato to reveal his source

I'm certain that Drilon, Hontiveros & Pangilingan did their research & and had the welfare of Filipinos in mind when they voted against POGO operations. They voted well.
Of course, all of us knew it from the very start. Duque’s revelation that Duterte ordered the transfer of P47.6 billion from DOH to PS-DBM, an office headed by Davao Mafia lawyer and Bong Go protégé Christopher Lao, only confirms what we knew all along, that Duterte was the mastermind behind the single largest plunder case in Philippine post-EDSA history.
The multi-billion peso transfer led to the P18.8 billion grant of government supply contracts to a fly-by-night company called Pharmally by Lao. Pharmally, sponsored by Duterte’s Chinese advisor and alleged drug lord Michael Yang, was the conduit for siphoning billions of COVID-relief funds.
Not unlike the NBN-ZTE contract of the Arroyo government, this act of plunder is probably one of the largest, if not the largest, committed by any post-EDSA Philippine president and his administration.
Hindi katulad ng NBN-ZTE na bumukol lang, ang Pharmally heist ay bumukol na, umalingasaw pa. At hanggang ngayon ay namamayagpag pa si Duterte, parang anghel na nagsisigaw ng korapsyon laban sa Kongreso at gobyerno ni BBM, habang nakaupo sa bilyones na ninakaw niya sa mamamayang Pilipino.
