My brother who lives in the states has a thing for Pinoyt-shirts. We started out by buying him t-shirts at Spoof Limited and chose the ones with a Pinoy oriented design. We’d then send it to him every time someone comes home and that went on for a couple years.
Conversation with kuya sitting in front of my computer:
US: “Hey can you go to this website, I found some really cool looking shirts.. it’s teammanilalifestyle dot com.”
PH: “OK I’m here..”
US: “Go to the men’s section and then classic tees. A Lotof people are asking me where I get my t-shirts from specially here on campus..”
PH: interrupts “They probably wanna buy some too, I’m on the page. What am I looking for?”
US: “Yeah, I don’t see too many sold on eBay and a lotof people are looking so I want a T-shirt in each of the designs on page 1-4 then get me some stickers and key chains and lanyards too.”
Ph: in utter shock and disbelief of the impending wreckage he was about to do to my savings “Uhh that’s a lot, don’t you think that too many? How much is it gonna cost me? Andame naman kuya!”
US: “I says Php500. They have an online store at teammanila.com forward slash shop but it costs more andyou have to pay for shipping”
PH: “Hmmmnn let me see if I can get some sort of discount and I’ll let you know…”

Days and weeks pass… several phone calls, PM’s, and SMS’ later I finally found time to research, email TeamManila’s management about my predicament, and visit their store at the Power Plant Mall to check out the goods. I was already impressed when I saw the designs on line but to see them in person was like tempting a child with candy. I went home with the t-shirt shown above for myself.
I checked my email when I got home and was very pleased to find a positive response from TeamManila’s Sales and MarketingManager, Pam. They were willing to give me 15% off on all the shirts I buy.
So buy I did..
and buy..
and buy…
you get the point.
Pretty soon I came out of the store with fifteen some t shirts for my brother and a couple others for myself. I wasn’t actually able to buy all of the t-shirts that were requested. Most of the the designs were out on XXL sizes -my brother’s a pretty big dude. The t-shirts are limited edition so when they’re out of stock, they won’t make ‘em again which is too bad ‘cuz these shirts are really happening.
They had an ongoing promotion at the time which qualified me to get this bag for free. Wasn’t sure what how much you need to spend to get one but I got it…
I’d just like to thank TeamManila, specially Pam for responding to me and for givingme a great bargain on their goods. Kudos to you folks for coming up with such artistic and inspiringdesigns that show the world the heart of a true Filipino. With all the unending corruption and problems we have going on this kinda thing makes me proud to be a Filipino.
