(CONTRIBUTED PHOTOS)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Operating Island Touch by Philip located in Chalan Kanoa can be challenging but rewarding, according to operations manager and store namesake Philip Canuto. In his business of running a flower shop and events planning, Canuto needs to be creative all the time, but wearing many hats doesn\u2019t faze him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI started the business on May 10, 2013 and like how we started, my shop is everyone\u2019s go-to place for fresh or silk flowers for any occasion and special items for gifts&#8230; I also do events, big or small, like weddings, birthdays, christening, whatever flower arrangement or event that you have in mind, we can help you,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor events, we work with the client from beginning to end, from the planning stage and decorations because I believe every detail counts. We have planned wedding ceremonies, up to of the wedding reception for many clients and at the end of the day having accomplished beautiful things for clients makes us happy,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_324309\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-324309\" style=\"width: 288px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Island-pix-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-324309\" src=\"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Island-pix-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"288\" height=\"384\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-324309\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fresh Flowers can be specially arranged with a personal touch by Island Touch By Philip.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>For a month, Island Touch By Philip closed due to COVID-19 concerns. \u201cWe also didn\u2019t have customers or clients coming in so we decided to close down temporarily. Now that we are back, we are giving the same services and practicing social distancing and health and safety protocols at the shop.\u201d Canuto said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe only allow five people at the same time in the shop. To ensure our clients\u2019 safety, we require 6 feet distance between customer and counter, we sanitize common areas in the shop and hand sanitizers are provided from the moment the customer enters the door and at the counter where we transact business,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Island Touch By Philip is open from Monday to Sunday, 8am-6pm.
