Summer is officially here! It's time to hit the beach again. And although we're bound to have a socially distant summer, that shouldn't hold you back from flaunting your body whatever size and shape you're in.
Thankfully, with safety protocols in place, we can still enjoy the sun, sea, sand, and the waves with our dearest.
And we also get to rock those stylish swimsuits and take countless selfies for the Gram.
So, if you're ready to shop for your summer essentials, you better check out below GMA Lifestyle's list of proudly Pinoy-made swimwear brands and their gorgeous swimsuit offerings.
