The At the Ducks (Sa Patos) shoe bazaar community project was able to at least jumpstart talk about the Marikina shoe industry within the PSHS-MC community. Unfortunately, not all was perfect with the implementation, and unforeseen circumstances warranted a change of plans; future community projects may learn from our experiences and create more back-up plans for their projects. 

The concept of a bazaar to help shoemakers is effective, but the group believes this idea can be taken a bit further. The scope of the bazaar was only limited to the faculty and students of PSHS-MC. In the future, the students may look into using more of the capabilities of the online market, such as a website to order products or more social media accounts to share information, advertise and create more avenues for people to interact with the Marikina shoe industry. However, this may require a larger team; a group of five may not suffice for such an implementation.

Lastly, the group regrets not having been able to hold a seminar. A seminar, be it for the shoemakers or the students, would have provided insight into the changes necessary within the industry. Thus, the group recommends that future endeavors make it a point to hold a seminar about Marikina’s shoe industry and online selling. This is all to protect the industry of shoes that supports many livelihoods, and ensures that the country’s traditions will continue to prosper.
