I mentioned earlier that we will go to the mall for a little strolling, so we went to SM Marikina. Marikina is one of the cities here in the Philippines and considered as the shoe capital of the country. It created the largest pair of shoes that was recognized by Guinness World Records. They are several shoe manufacturers in the city, all of them producing quality shoes and sandals that all Filipinos can be proud of. Maybe they can even produce a nice pair of ugg boots.

Marikina City received different awards and citations. One of them is being the Cleanest and Greenest city. They are also considered as the Healthiest and Most Livable Cities in Asia-Pacific region. It also received an award for the Most Competitive Metro City in the Philippines from the Asian Institute of Management (AIM). Now, Marikina is one of the richest and industrialized local government units. Among its landmarks and attractions are Cityhood Park, River Park, World of Butterflies and Shoe Museum where in you can see the shoe collection of Philippine’s former first lady, Imelda Marcos. There are other attractions in the city that’s why they are often visited by students during their field trips.

First Grand finals of Showtime happened today. There were 11 groups who performed and showed their talents. Complete list of the finalists can be found here. The grand winner was the last group who performed, XB GENSAN. It is very interesting that this group won considering that they joined the finalist as the wild card winners together with Boys unlimited dancers. But this group deserves to win. The routine was great, they are great dancers and you can just feel their emotions. Here’s a video from youtube. Enjoy!

Congratulations to XB Gensan and to the 10 other finalists. They are all good and they are all world class talents. Proud to be Pinoy.
