I guess there are plans <i>na ilabas din ang</i> designs <i>na ito </i>outside the Philippines. We have the City which is <i>ang nire </i>represent<i> niya ang</i> front<i> ng jeepney</i>, the Festival which is the <i>maskara</i> festival and the Island which is the Sarimanok.”</div><div><br/></div><div>At plano rin ni Francis na mag give back sa blessing na natanggap niya kahit sa maliit na paraan.</div><div><br/></div><div>“I have a plan na portion <i>ng</i> earnings <i>ng</i> project <i>na ito</i> I’ll donate <i>sa </i>charity<i> pero sa ngayon wala pa kami napipili pero sigurado magbibigay kami sa</i> charity.”</div><div><br/></div><div>Matapos ang proyektong ito, marami pang aabangan kay Francis Libiran na ayaw paawat sa pag expand ng kanyang creativity at talent sa design.</div><div><br/></div><div>“This is just the beginning, designing for Havianas I guess soon I’m interested in doing accessories, shoes, furniture, more on the lifestyle, so this is just the beginning.”</div>
