Minila, Philippines seems to be the hot bed of trade in the faux Vans shoes market. In October 2008 the Philippine National Police seized 3,000 pairs of the counterfeit Vans and then today they grabbed 1,179 more pairs.
Lawyer Elfren Meneses, head of the NBI’s Intellectual Property Rights Division, said the fake shoes were seized from one sales outlets of Ramaceda Shoe Marketing, R.R. Fernando Footwear, Nikki Want, and Amezing Wang Alok Building on Agtarap Street in Pasay and at the Harrison Shoe Plaza along F.B. Harrison corner Agtarap Streets.
Nice to know the Philippine Police department is working so hard to protect the interests of VF Corp. Isn’t it?
