Marikina Sapatos Festival 2012 Launch

Do you like or want quality and trendy, yet inexpensive shoes? “Walk this Way” to Marikina.

Marikina is living up to its tag of being the ‘Shoe Capital of the Philippines’ when it launched this morning the 2012 Sapatos Festival. The program was held in front of the the newly constructed and conceptualized ‘Patio Del Zapateros’ near the Marikina Shoe Museum along J.P. Rizal St., in Barangay Sta. Elena.

Shoe shoppers are invited inside ’Patio Del Zapateros’ for the best deals in Marikina shoes.  Shoe tripping to this place will give you a glimpse of  history, of how the industry of ‘sapatos’ started in the Marikina one hundred twenty (125) years ago, through the Marikina Shoe Museum (which is close to the ancestral house of the father of ‘shoemaking industry’ in Marikina, Don Laureano Guevarra or Kapitan Moy); and a huge selection of quality and affordable Marikina-made shoes ready for shopping!

(Some of the shoes on sale at the ‘Patio Del Zapateros’)

Tip: Don’t forget to haggle (politely) with shoe salespersons at the fair. Use your charm to get better bargains!

Marikina Shoe Festival 2012: “Walk This Way”

It did not take even a week for me to crack and spazz the usual spazz — wanting so much to see the event with my own eyes and shooting to my heart’s delight. I simply love it when Marikina does this. And it gets even better because my city has once again promoting what it does best: Shoe Production!

So today, me and my friend Chesca started our adventure by walking along Calumpang road (aka JP Rizal st.) towards where one of the venues was. The weather was great, the breeze was picking up… it was a best day to see and document!

But first, I’d happily commend the creative strategies Marikina did to promote the event. If I’m not mistaken, this be a Guerrilla style of advertising which worked just wonderful!

(Introductory banners along Dong Juan Sumulong Ave. with arrows navigating people to where the venues were. There was “Elegant,” “World Class,” “Affordable,” — proud traits of Marikina shoes!)

There were the “paper bag” displays around Plazas with the details of the event — the title, the venues and how long the event would run (until December 2012, ladies and gentlemen).

And there were foot prints of their tagline, Walk This Way, on the pavement starting from the Marikina Bridge running to JP Rizal st. (and Shoe Ave, if I’m not mistaken?). One could not simply miss these since it was painted hugely and artistically; I literally smiled the first time I saw it.

Arriving at the venue (at the Patio Del Zapateros), we were greeted by merriment of visitors and attentive store keepers. I actually quite liked the fact that there were Marikina Officers around the place, a mini stage with a screen (for entertainment, I’mma sure), free seats and table and really spacious (and mighty clean!) area to go around.

I also noticed that there were selective local brands outside and have their own stalls while others were inside another building. I think these local brands do a rotational exposure: 10 selected brands would have a chance to showcase their works on a bigger and noticeable outdoor area and then the next 10 would do the same, after a certain period of time. I’m just guessing really.

(the other local brands found inside the building. There were so many! I couldn’t go around with the amount of visitors inside. Heh. Heh.)

A small section of the venue where they placed historical details and facts regarding the blooming of shoe production here at Marikina plus photos.

Oh. Whoever thought of that, “Shoe-Kat ka!” and “Shoe-per star of the Week!” I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE. I couldn’t help but giggle at it. Fine fine word play, if I do say so myself. I love it really.

Price range, you ask? My buddy and I went around to inspect and saw pairs of shoes amounting from 200PHP to 700PHP (I’d confirm once more if I have time to go back! I want to buy myself a pair or more!). Not bad, really. And with a sturdy quality like that, it’s definitely a catch. One can find themselves in treasures of designs and types — all having different sizes. Great, yeah?

That saying, for shoe-loving persons like me! and for those who are interested to see Marikina’s local branded shoes and the event itself, come by here and experience Marikina’s Walk This Way Shoe Festival! There are so much fun going, styles to choose from, and affordable shoes to buy buy buy!

Thank you for this event, Marikina!

Commercial Places in Marikina

Marikina has three major shopping malls, one of which is the SM City Marikina which sits at the corner of Marcos Highway and East Marikina Riverbanks Service Road in Calumpang.  It is the newest branch of the Philippine’s  largest mall chain owned by SM Prime Holdings and currently stands as the larges mall in Eastern Metro Manila and the whole of Rizal province.  Its 5-storey structure houses  a department store, a hypermarket, an entertainment hall, 8 cinemas, and various shops and boutiques for apparel, shoes, accessories, and home appliances.  Outside the building is a large parking lot complemented by a multi-level carpark.

The most upscale among these is the Blue Wave Mall at the Marquinton Complex along Sumulong Highway in Sto. Niño.  Aside from the usual amenities and features of a shopping mall, such as retail shops and a supermarket, , Blue  Wave is considered as Marikina’s premiere leisure entertainment center with its 4 state-of-the-art cinemas, cafes, and fine dining restaurants.

 

The Riverbanks Mall, the third mall in Marikina, is found at the city’s riverside commercial and recreation center, aptly called the Marikina Riverbanks Center.  The mall offers the usual convenience afforded by modern shopping center, such as a department store, a supermarket, shops and stalls for clothes, shoes, and cellphones, as well as various popular fastfood chains.  Located within the center are other retail shops, restaurants, and several offices, a hotel, and the Philippine Science Centrum.

Marikina’s leisure and entertainment centers—the Marikina River Park and Blue Wave Mall—host a variety of bars and restaurants.  The Marikina River Park is a favorite night spot among the locals because of the abundance of music bar/restaurants found in the area coupled with the scenic night view of the river.  Some of the prominent establishments at the park are Riverfront Grill, After Six Bar and Lounge, East 53 Bar & Grill Restaurant, and Tabing Ilog Bar (Riverside Bar).

Meanwhile, Blue Wave Mall mostly has family-oriented dining establishments, such as Max’s Restaurant, Big Buddha, Hotshots, Royal Caribbean Jamaican Patties, Yellow Cab Pizza, and Shakey’s.

The whole stretch of A. Tuazon  Avenue (Gil Fernando Avenue)  also has notable sport bars, drinking joints, night clubs, and restaurants lining both sides of the street.  Some establishments found there  include the Anahaw Grill & Restaurant, Jerry’s Seafoods, Kubo Sa Tuazon, Rivergold Grill & Resto Bar,  BITE Resto Bar, 51 Sixty Seven Billiard Hall, and Time Rusher Billiard Hall.
Quick guide: Graceland Plaza, C&B, Riverbanks, SM City Marikina.

Residential Places in Marikina

Much of Marikina is composed of residential areas.  Most middle class and upper class families reside  in the many villages and subdivisions in the city.  Some of the city’s prominent gated communities are Loyola Grand Villas,  SSS Village, the Rancho Estates, WOODRIDGE VALLEY HEIGHTS, TIMBERLAND HEIGHTS, and the OUR LADY OF LOURDES EXECUTIVE VILLAGE.

Marikina also has the newly erected Marquinton Residences Complex, which is a compound of high-rise condominiums situated along Sumulong highway in Calumpang.  The first of its kind in the city, it is a favored residence of many middle to upper class young professionals and starting families.  It features a park and play area for children, adult and kiddie swimming pools, a spa, and a health club.  Also housed within the complex is the affluent Blue Wave Mall.

Living the Marikenyo Way!

Marikina City is a highly urbanized industrial city located at the eastern part of the island of Luzon in the Philippines.  It is one of the cities and municipality that comprises the conurbation of Metro Manila, the country’s National Capital Region.  The city sits on the lush Marikina Valley surrounded by the Cordillera and Sierra Madre mountain ranges, and traversed by the Marikina River in the mid-west.  Bordering it to the west is Quezon City, to the south are Pasig City and the municipality of Cainta in Rizal province, Antipolo City to the east, and the municipality of San Mateo, also in Rizal, to the north.

Marikina is famous for its shoe industries and export-quality products, giving it the designation as the “Shoe Capital of the Philippines”.  Found in the city is the world’s largest pair of shoes certified by the Guinness Book of Records, and the Shoe Museum that features  the former first lady Imelda Marcos’ collection of shoes.

Aside from this, the city has also received many awards and prestigious titles even before its incorporation into a city.  It has been the first local government unit to receive the title Cleanest and Greenest City in the Philippines, and has set itself as a hall of famer in the said category.  Most recently, in 2004, Marikina was declared as the Most Competitive Metro City in the Philippines.  It was awarded by the esteemed Asian Institute of Management Policy Research Center, International Labour Organization (ILO), German Technical Foundation, Asia Foundation, and Konrad Adenauer Stiflung.  The United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP) has honored Marikina by including the city in its prestigious Global 500 Roll Of Honour.  It has also been recognized as one  of Asia Pacific’s most healthiest and livable cities.

All these awards and recognitions stand proof of not just the city’s status, but also of the discipline and hard work of its residents.  Together with its booming and vibrant economy, its supportive business sector,  and responsive government, Marikina is setting the standard for all urban cities in the Philippines.
