Marikina 2nd district Rep. Stella Quimbo is out to source additional funding for the local footwear, leather goods, and tannery industry saying that additional funds be sourced from a portion of the taxes collected from importing footwear products.

A shoe factory in Marikina City doubles its production on Friday, Aug. 12, 2022 due to high demand of black shoes for the opening of face-to-face classes on Aug. 22, 2022.

Quimbo said her bill, which is a proposed amendment to an existing law, will “improve upon the existing law particularly because the developmental incentives in the existing have already lapsed”.
