We started Maharlikan for many reasons, but the biggest one was realizing the lack of Filipino footwear brands in the GCC market. It was one of those "If no one else will do it, we will" moments.

​At first, it was just an idea.. something we explored casually. But the more we took it seriously, the more our passion grew. With every step, the reality of what we were building became both exciting and daunting, especially knowing how challenging it would be.
