Filipino Blogging Day #16: Slippers (Tsinelas)

Slippers or tsinelas are one of the most common and most functional kinds of footwear worn in the Philippines. It is not only used as footwear, but also used for games like tumbang-preso, where slippers are needed to hit a can inside a circle on the floor. There is even a Tsinelas Festival in Gapan City, Nueva Ecija that displays the tsinelas industry which makes 500-600 million pesos (currency in the Philippines).
