Ah, Manila—the city’s pulse always seems to match the rhythm of the waves rolling in. I remember boarding that warship docked by the bay, an enormous presence against the skyline, all steel and resolve. As I walked those decks, I could feel the weight of duty etched into every line and bolt. Each narrow corridor felt like a story told through discipline and purpose, built to carry those who serve far across the open sea. That day, I understood what it meant to dedicate oneself to something greater.

Inspired by that visit, I set out to create something that honored that spirit of service and strength. I wanted it to echo the navy’s uniform, not only in its structured elegance but in the way it speaks of honor and commitment. A crisp design, strong lines, a certain simplicity—and on the back, a small thumbs-up embroidery, a lighthearted nod to the courage within. It’s a touch of encouragement, a reminder that a strong heart can face any storm.

This isn’t just fashion; it’s a tribute to those who choose to serve with courage and resilience. Every time someone wears it, I hope they feel a spark of that steadfast spirit, a call to aim high and walk their own path with purpose.
