The Department of Tourism (DOT) Philippine Harvest event, which is scheduled to take place next weekend, from November 29 to December 1, at Central Square in Bonifacio Global City, is expected to present various aspects of Antiqueño heritage.
“The spotlight will be put on our indigenous textiles,” said DOT Secretary Bernadette Romulo-Puyat. “These fabrics made from cotton, piña, and abaca are an important part of our farmers’ harvest alongside crops and livestock.”
“Part of our sustainable tourism advocacy is supporting local artisans, protecting heirloom traditions, and preserving our rich heritage for future generations to come,” she added.
Antique-based textile industry associations and handicraft organizations, along with various food exhibitors, are expected to take part in the event./WDJ
