Home is where the heart is, and there’s nothing like the comfort of your own. Entertaining is a major part Filipino culture and there will always be someone who would invite you to their space. People love to decorate, design and redesign just like the changing of the season. It is no surprise that the local landscape is filled with stores for the home.
