50 Must Buys in Manila, the Book.

When Janina Dizon-Hoschka and Michael Salientes put their heads together about shopping, you would think that you need to sell your soul to be able to afford what they think is the hottest thing to have. But from bread to flutes, these guys know the best place to get it. A collaboration between two great shoppers/fashionistas/stylist/tastemakers resulted in a book entitled 50 Must Buys in Manila where they featured products which are ALL LOCALLY MADE. BRAVO FILIPINO!

I also have to mention the tremendous effort of T. Hoschka who was the one who glued the two heads together in the first place.

Some featured artists, designers, products in the book are my friends;

PUEY QUINONES

SUNSHINE PUEY

MICH DULCE

PAUL SYJUCO

BRIAN TENORIO

And of course JUL B. DIZON JEWELLERY

Book launching is on the 20th of December at 2-6 pm in Fully Booked, High Street, Fort Bonifacio, Taguig. This event in itself offers much surprises for those who will purchase a book on the said date. Raffle prizes which are sponsored by the featured products in the book awaits, and yes, you may win a one of a kind, handcrafted, jewelry item from Jul B. Dizon Jewellery! 

So, I say, one of the best buys in Manila right now is none other than the 50 BEST BUYS IN MANILA, the book.

Congratulations to Janina and Michael for providing us in depth information as to where to buy amazing products at the same time support Filipino craftsmanship and artists.
