Busog (pronounced boo-soog) is an independently run clothing company which consists of artists which i have met and connected with in the past (as well some new found talent who i believe is the cream of the crop) These community of designers have made an impact on my life throughout the years. Don A (aka Ellis) I went to college with, Dago I met through a common friend from Italy, Rob C. i have worked with at TEG.

The name Busog (boo-soog) comes from the Tagalog (filipino) word for full. Yes it has to do with food. Thanks Ate Cherms for the input on this.. much love! I love this word because it relates a lot to the Filipino culture. Other than having the actual word being in Tagalog, being full (of food) in any filipino home is a must. Haha. Whenever you go to a traditional filipino home, and their parents are home, you will be fed (most of the time). They will place food in front of you even though you said you just ate, or don't want any. And out of respect, you have some food. Our goal is that you are full and satisfied.

Being full is also my goal in life, I want everyone to understand where i'm coming from. I go the extra mile to help those in need, w/o even trying. I put others before myself just so I can see them happy and thus in return that makes me happy. Without the gift of giving, i can not be filled and so I think this is just another way of mine to give back to everyone. To find a style/fashion that people can relate to and thus have a meaning and purpose for wearing. I hope you will support me and my designers. Much love and God Bless !
