Brief History
The Mangyans of Southern Mindoro, locally known as "Sandugos" are famous for their extreme toughness and expertise in the mountains. This inspired Job Faminialagao to establish a venture of outdoor sandals that he called "Sandugo". "SANDUGO" also means "One Blood, One Brother, One Family." This is the way of thinking of Sandugo Adventure. Everything in harmony with one another: the Sandugo in harmony with nature, the place of the outdoorsman, this is their playground, this is the place they call home.
As a mountaineer, Job, or "Dodoy" as he is fondly called, saw the importance of outdoor sandals based from his experience. He was disappointed from the many brands that he tried during his mountain climbing adventures, and most of his mountaineering friends were disappointed as well. Dodoy saw the need for better outdoor sandals. He started to create his own sandals, designing them to fit the purpose that they needed.
In 1994, he tried selling the sandals to his friends in the mountaineering community. He has not stopped ever since. The business which originally started as a hobby gained its reputation among his circle of friends in the mountaineering community and eventually grew through word of mouth.
Still not resting on his laurels, Dodoy had the strong determination to develop the product and add more designs and features engineered for people who love the outdoors and any water activity. With his strong business sense and persistence, Sandugo reaped a lot of praise. As many people saw the performance of his tough outdoor sandals, the market grew bigger. Furthermore, it was able to penetrate even those who are not engaged in sports but just wanted to have a Sandugo.
