INDIGENOUS CRAFT

INDIGENOUS CRAFT: Senate President Franklin M. Drilon and Senator Loren Legarda are shown, right photo, examining the “kinnutiyan”, a funeral blanket from the Cordillera region,  one of the local pieces featured at the exhibit “Tugade, Philippine Indigenous Patterns and Forms.” The exhibit is launched at the Senate on Wednesday afternoon, October 22, 2014. It presents several weaving techniques used by traditional Filipino weavers in the modern setting. The cultural exhibit is supported by the Office of Senator Legarda, along with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, the Department of Foreign Affairs, the House of Representatives and the National Commission on Culture and the Arts.
