Ich dachte mir ich poste mal etwas aus meiner zweiten Heimat. Vor einiger Zeit hatte ich ja dank Mark einen Post hier auf @RUNFFM über das Clavel Mag und die Collabo mit Paloma Esmeria ( @palomaesmeria ). Wenn ihr da noch mal rein schauen möchtet hier ist der link.
Vor ein paar Wochen hat STreething dazu ein cooles Video geposted mit Thema urban culture in Manila
und ich finde es sehr interessant wie schnell und gut sich das alles entwickelt hat.
Als ich 2007-2008 für ein Auslandsjahr auf die Philippinen ging gab es zwar auch schon was zu sehen aber noch nicht so viel wie jetzt,
ich denke ich muss dem ganzen auch mal wieder einen Besuch abstatten.
Schaut euch das Video mal an vielleicht sind da ja ein paar Spots für euch dabei wenn ihr mal Manila besucht. Ich weis zumindest schon mal wo ich paar Körbe werfen gehen werde ;).
This is the latest collaboration that “The Pacman” is in and I’m pretty sure that this is probably the coolest one (aside from the Nike Air Trainers maybe).
Urban Vinyl Toymakers MINDStyle worked together with Disney and Team Pacquiao to build these amazing collectable urban vinyl figures.
Mark B. who is currently in Manila and doing research for RUNFFM.com on pop-/subcultural events in the Philippines send us a few pictures from the items at the Team Pacquiao store in Manila.
The set sells for 25.000 peso (about ~415€) and is limited to only 300 pieces worldwide.
They also have a T-Shirt for about 1500 peso.
The Team Pacquiao store is located at Robinsons Place Ermita.
Mark our friend from the Philippines is currently doing some research for RUNFFM.com in Manila and I believe he is having alot of fun meeting lovely Paloma at the recent Kiks TYO x Clavel Mag event.
He is also doing some research for our new T-Shirt project and giving us some sample sneak peeks of course these are only for sample purposes but maybe you are able to get a few of those but they will be pretty limited, we will keep you posted.
Anyways thanks for all the local and international support! Big shouts to the Philippines!

If you are a fan of Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao and still need a T-Shirt to support him during his next fight (Whats up Mayweather?) you might want to check out these designs availible to those living in Manila via. GreyoneSocial.
When I was in the Philippines for about a year I didnt really notice that there was any local hip hop scene at all but there is one.
Check out this little documentary about the local street artists, unfortunately without subtitles so in order to understand something you have to speak tagalog but still quite watchable.
Last year I went to the Philippines to study at a filmschool in Cebu for one year, it was perfect since I am half filipino and wanted to see the country my mother is from. I took alot of pictures during my stay in asia and here I want to share a few that I took with a small russian automatic film camera called the Lomo LCA. All these pics were taken on the way to the studio by foot and tricycle (small moped with extra seat on the side).
The Philippines is the biggest christian country in asia this little church was right in front of the place I used to stay, right in the middle of nowhere. I used to see some people holding a mess while walking by even at night sometimes.
