MANILA, PHILIPPINES — Filipino design must continue to flourish beyond the exhibition floor, with Michael Sager urging the public to discover, celebrate, and support the country’s homegrown craftsmanship.
His message reinforces the spirit of Manila FAME, the Philippines’ premier trade show for home décor, furniture and furnishings, fashion, holiday, and gift products, organized by the Center for International Trade Expositions and Missions (CITEM).
Through its showcase of Filipino creativity, heritage, and innovation, Manila FAME provides designers, artisans, and enterprises a platform to bring locally crafted products to wider markets and gain international recognition.
Supporting Filipino design means investing in local talent, preserving cultural heritage, and creating greater opportunities for Filipino makers to thrive. The call is clear: keep Filipino design in full bloom by choosing, promoting, and celebrating proudly Filipino-made products.
