There are four kinds of footwear in the Philippine market: locally made, legally imported foreign brands, export overruns and imitations.
The first two are self-explanatory; the difference between the third and the fourth are explained in my op-ed column today. I actually intended that article to be my first entry in the Mothers as consumers series. But I got caught up in Alex’s excitement to watch The Matrix Reloaded for the nth time (she has memorized most of the dialogue) and I ran short of time to write another piece for the column.
At any rate, the so-called export overruns in Cartimar is not only a mommy concern but really ought to be the concern of the government. From that perspective, it did make more sense to have it published in the newspaper.
So, to kick off the Mothers as consumers series, please click here to read Export overruns in Cartimar? Comments may be posted in The Sassy Lawyer’s Journal.
