Cheap Brands Than Fake Brands
I have a principle that i’ve been practicing for the past seven to eight years. It’s buying “cheap brands” than “fake brands.”
I’d rather buy a cheap branded pants than a fake Levi’s jeans. Personally, it’s better getting a Company B or Bench than a fake Levi’s.
Why?
1. I don’t want to be part of the common masses who are fond of accusing the government of corruption, but they themselves are also guilty of doing the same.
2. I want to help this country, the businessmen and its employees in my own little way.
3. I’m an artist and a business person it irritates me when somebody is ripping off my works or my business. So i try not to do it on others.

I agree with you on this one. I prefer the cheaper alternative to a brand that buying a fake. At least alam natin pinagbutihan ang pag gawa sa cheaper brand compared to the counterfeit ones.
