En Route to my Heritage

Watching TV patrol and seeing Bernadette Sembrano's Filipiniana Terno made me think of Dita Sandico Ong's indigenous fiber creations. I am also happy to know that 10% of the Filipinos have retained the traditional culture. At least may 10 percent pa!

Having the modern Filipiniana way!
The Dita Sandico Ong wraps are made of dyed banana fiber and abaca.

The good thing about the Dita Sandico Ong designs is that they can be worn in a multitude ways. You can actually play with them!

There are many Filipiniana attires to choose from - Tapis, Maria Clara / Panuelo and Baro't Saya. The Barong Tagalog is always the best choice for men. This is the Filipino-style - very pleasing to nationalism!

Tasting the Filipino culture is also like having hot pandesal for brekky, bibingka, sago't gulaman, banana/kamoteQ for merienda, mangga't bagoong, puto't dinuguan, Adobo for lunch and sweet and sour Lapu-lapu for dinner!

I'm proud to be Pinoy!

Happy Birthday Dr. Jose Rizal!
& Happy Father's Day!
