When a powerful storm inundated the Philippines last month, most people rushed to save their homes or their lives. Employees of a certain museum, however, grabbed the shoes.
The Marikina Shoe Museum houses more than 800 pairs donated by former first lady Imelda Marcos, and many were threatened Sept. 26 by knee-deep water inside the museum. The museum is in Marikina city, capital of the Philippine shoe industry.
