I want products that will appeal to pilipino’s taste which is very picky. I want to meld the two culture, that of pilipino and american, which is not a very easy task. Quality is important to pilipinos so these products are made in the USA or Germany or Italy and the likes. Using western style ideas, I incorporate something pilipino to appeal to them. But most of the material I have to work with is only available in Philippines. I will get to that later.
The only material I was working at that moment here in the United States was the Philippine flag. I asked the manufacturer to design this Christmas balls although, I would have like someone in the Philippines to do it. I think a filipino designer would have done better. It was a bad call and sad call.
