Rustan’s celebrates Women’s Month with freebies and promos
JUST before International Women’s Day on March 8, Rustan’s held its 6th GRLPWR beauty festival, with games, freebies, and music all around. While the party on March 6 ended that evening at their Shangri-La Plaza branch, the freebies and promos continue all the way to April.
In an interview at the sidelines of the event, Michael Tantoco Huang, Rustan Commercial Corp. vice-president for store development and expansions, noted the importance of women at Rustan’s: it was, after all, co-founded by his grandmother, Gliceria Tantoco, and later led by his mother, Zenaida Tantoco. “We see them as being the backbone of our organization,” he said. “We (are) in fashion.”
“Women have more of a knack for it. We look to them in terms of creativity and the like; women tend to be more creative. Being in retail, we have to be creative.”
After the recent completion of some renovations at their Makati flagship store, he pointed out that the work is not over. “We’re looking to do a little bit more tweaking in all other stores,” he said, noting the slight changes they’ve done at the Shangri-La store.
