The Marikina City government on Monday officially opened this year's Christmas shoe bazaar which aims to strengthen the shoemaking industry and help local businesses by providing subsidies.
The annual shoe bazaar is located at the ground floor of the city's multi-level parking located in front of the city hall.
Mayor Marcelino "Marcy" Teodoro underscored the importance of providing the public easy access to high-quality, durable, and affordable shoes, bags and other leather products made by the master craftsmen and shoemakers of Marikina.
Teodoro also signed Ordinance No. 121, Series of 2023 during the opening of the bazaar.
The measure exempts shoe and leather goods retailers of the Philippine Footwear Federation Incorporated from payment of rental fees, including electricity charges for the use of stalls on the ground floor of the city government-owned multi-level parking building from November 2023 to January 2024.

Teodoro emphasized that shoes crafted in Marikina have exceptional quality, durability, and most importantly, exquisite beauty.
This year, a total of 47 local manufacturers of shoes, bags, and other leather goods have participated in the bazaar showcasing their respective products proudly made in Marikina.
Meanwhile, the city government has also brought back the Banchetto after its success during the recently concluded Palarong Pambansa held in the city last August.
The Banchetto, located at the Freedom Park in front of the City Hall, features delicious local food delicacies and snacks in Marikina.
Marikina First District Rep. Marjorie Ann "Maan" Teodoro said women involved in conflict or who have experienced violence were given the opportunity to sell their products for them to earn for their children and families.
