* UPDATE : first batch of limited editions amazingly SOLD OUT already. We are currently producing a new batch … 
Seems like every mall in the country’s releasing their own environmental bags. I took specific interest in what SM did by using renowned painter MBaldemor to create the artwork for the bag’s front. In addition to this move, they’re giving advantage points to people who use the bag to shop. Unfortunately though, I haven’t seen a single soul proudly carry that SM bag—it’s just too tacky and the general population couldn’t care less about the name, Baldemor.
R2R and Rajo Laurel obviously make up a different story. This is the first time I’ve seen one actually sell out.
Great job!
Corazon Aquino is really a woman with extremely humble spirit, that people from the philippines loves her and also adored her too much. Her legacy will almost always be in each filipino’s heart and soul!
