Monster Designer

Have you ever felt being discriminated in a mall for checking out expensive clothes? Have you ever encountered a salesperson making you feel like you can't buy the product at all and end up buying it because of this rude salesperson? Well, I have a lot of experience like that in the Philippines, my own country. I went to some of the top brands in the mall, and sales ladies were not entertaining you at all and it's as if you're a ghost. Not just in boutiques but this "Monster Designer" I'm talking about is no other than, I will name him, "Ramon Santiago". He is a "famous" designer in Imus, Cavite. I called him, traveled all the way from Makati. I have this gown in mind that I want to wear on my cousin's debut party. The person I know who can make this didn't accept the job since it's around 15 days before the big day. So my cousins decided to treat me and have a designer make this gown. I decided to go to Ramon Santiago since I know he will give you a low price to a high quality gown. He was the one who sew my huge gown when I turned 18. He gave me a discounted price for 3 gowns. So I thought he will do it again.

All the way from Makati to Imus, I called him before going there, he said I should come at his office so he can check out the design. We traveled around 2 hours, everyone was already tired. And when we got there, it's a major disappointment! He quoted a price of "Php 7,000" for that very simple design I had (the design by the way is what SNSD's Jessica wore on MV The Boys). He... She.... It was soooo rude! He even told me that "Sa totoo lang kung sa wedding, kung pa-isa isang ganto, di ko na pinapansin eh" and I asked for another discount, I didn't told him that he sew my gown back then, I pretended that I am a friend of ... well, mine. And he told me, "Wag ka na mag-insist". We were so mad! His place was like a garbage anyway! It was like a huge trash can smelling like gay eating white protein! I even got allergies on his place because it's so dirty, it smells dirty!

So I would suggest if you're planning to go to him, DON'T EVER TRY! If you want a better gown at a lower price, it would be best to have Paul Mateo, just beside Ramon's place. He is so nice and a really good designer! He will draw the gown that will fit you and you will be attracted with how nice he is. So you wouldn't go anywhere else. Paul Mateo's price for my cousin's 3 bongga gowns was Php 50,000. It was so bongga so no comment about that. He also designed the gown of my cousins' girlfriends for only Php 5,000. So just go to Paul Mateo if you don't want to be discriminated.
