Marikina City is a picturesque old city verging on urban modernization featuring a thriving economy, modern
malls, ancestral houses, wide green parks, and friendly citizens. Just east of Metro Manila, Marikina may feel like a
small town with clean streets, quiet neighborhood and green spaces.
Marikina has a colorful history of how the shoemaking industry started. A visit to Don Laureano “Kapitan
Moy” Guevara’s home turned museum will give you a quick history lesson about the birth of shoemaking industry in
Marikina City. Down the street, you will find the Marikina Shoe Museum. The museum features the traditional
footwear of Filipinos and other nationalities, and the shoes owned and worn by famous politicians, public servants,
and celebrities.
Marikina also holds vibrant and colorful festivals celebrating its heritage and culture. The Ka-angkan
Festival celebrated every April 16 honors the founding families of Marikina. The Rehiyon, Rehiyon Festival celebrated
every December 8 honors the migrant families and their contributions to the city’s progress. The Sapatos Festival is a
three-month long celebration beginning in September honors the creativity, craftsmanship, style and high quality of
