Being a MARikeño, anything that tells the story of our city always feels close to home.
We recently spent time at the newly opened Marikina Heritage Building, and it felt like stepping into living history — stories of families, traditions, and pieces that carry generations of meaning. What made it even more special for us is that my wife comes from the Angkan ng Kanduli (Gonzaga), one of the families whose legacy is part of what you’ll see inside.

After that, we also visited the Museo ng Sapatos — and this one hit even deeper.
The building itself dates back to the 1860s, originally used by the Spaniards as an arsenal, later becoming a detention center during the Philippine–American War, then a motor pool in the American era, and even a rice mill after World War II. Imagine how many stories those walls have already seen before becoming what it is today.

Of course, many know it for housing part of the famous shoe collection of Imelda Marcos, officially opened as a museum in 2001. But beyond that, it stands as a tribute to what Marikina is truly known for — craftsmanship, hard work, and pride in shoemaking.

And for us, this place carries a very personal meaning. My father-in-law was a shoemaker himself. Walking through the museum, seeing the legacy of the industry… it’s not just history, it’s family.

The Heritage Building exhibit will only run for three months, so if you can, take the time to visit both. These aren’t just places — they’re reminders of who we are as Marikeños.

📍 J.P. Rizal corner I. Mendoza Streets, San Roque, Marikina City
(Near the Marikina Shoe Museum)
🕗 Open daily, 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM

At MARiKeño Vintage Pickers, this is exactly why we value every old piece — because behind each one is a story worth keeping.

Before enamel pins, fandom merch, and statement accessories became mainstream… these were already making noise.

These original 1960s–1970s slogan pins were part of pop culture expression during their time — often worn on jackets, bags, and hats to show personality, humor, or social commentary. From witty one-liners to bold statements, these small pieces carried big voices decades before it became a modern trend.

Pieces like these are getting harder to find, especially in bulk and in authentic vintage condition. Despite their age and battle scars, they remain beautiful reminders of how people expressed themselves long before social media existed.

Sometimes history isn’t written in books… sometimes it’s pinned on a jacket.
