It’s a Tuesday lunchtime and I’m travelling across Manila, capital of the Republic of the Philippines, from the central business district of Ortigas to Makati, the city’s key financial hub, to meet young fashion designer Nike Air Max 2015 Dam Andrea Belludo.

I’ve never been so amazed. Nike Air More Uptempo Femme And yet there’s so much pollution in other parts ... So many Filipinos don’t have any respect for the environment.”
