Alformbra Slippers: Falling Industry

Got alarmed by my caption? Falling Industry - Yes, based on my opinion it is. Why? Because everywhere, anywhere and anytime of the day - I haven't seen anyone wearing Alfombra Slippers.

My Favorite Slippers :)

Havaianas, Reef, American Eagle, Flip Flop, Sanuk, Ipanema, Merrell and a lot of brands. Haven't you noticed there was nobody, not even from your friends and family, is bragging Alfombra. Nobody is in rush to the store to buy Alfombra. There is no supermarket or department store, not even Ayala or SM Malls, is selling this original Filipino-made slippers.

Admittedly, I am also fan of buying these branded slippers. At the back of my mind, I am patronizing it because of its durability despite high price. I realized that why buy those slippers. Why am I letting this multinational company earn millions of dollars? even billions? Why am I letting their company employ millions of worker, while my fellow Filipino's slippers industry is falling?

My lasog-lasog Alfombra ;)
