CITEM Executive Director, Edward Fereira, notes the importance of catering to the needs of the people who flock to the agency’s signature show for the home, fashion and lifestyle sectors. “Manila FAME attracts a diverse set of audiences. . .We want to give them a show that reflects new ideas, fresh takes, and unique executions—in short, possibilities—rooted in Filipino heritage, craftsmanship and innovation.
