MANILA, Philippines – As Filipinos, we’re big on Christmas, especially the joy of giving fits. With the holidays fast approaching, many are already searching for presents that strike the balance between practical and personal. A good pair of shoes often hits that sweet spot: useful for work, effortless for weekends, perfect for active living, and easy to dress up for holiday gatherings.
If you’re looking for where to start your shoe shopping this season, ABC-MART just opened its newest store at Mitsukoshi BGC. After successfully launching its first ABC-MART Grand Stage store at Bonifacio High Street last October, the brand is expanding its presence just in time for the season’s busiest shopping rush.
