WEAR YOUR HEART FOR LOCAL WEAVES ON YOUR SLEEVE
The Philippine Star|October 16, 2024
There has been a proliferation of Filipino artistry, tapestry, and everything local that is taking center stage. Bazaars, fairs, and shows are featuring more and more of what will makes us truly proud of our beautiful, diverse, and unique culture.

WEAR YOUR HEART FOR LOCAL WEAVES ON YOUR SLEEVE

I have always looked forward to the Likhang Habi Market Fair. The colors, flavors, and hues truly bring excitement to all those who appreciate such artistry. To the uninitiated, they will certainly fall in love with all that this fair has to offer.

Imagine traveling around the country to appreciate and be mesmerized by this year's fair that gathers weavers, artisans, designers, and brands from Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao - Cordillera, Zamboanga, Ilocos, Soccsksargen, Negros, Bangsamoro and more. Likhang Habi Market Fair, the first project of the HABI: The Philippine Textile Council, has grown so much over the years, from featuring 12 vendors to over a hundred in its recent editions.

The luxurious Discovery Primea in Makati was the venue of the recent press launch of the Likhang Habi Market Fair. Gracious GM David Pardo de Ayala welcomed one and all and shared his delight to be part of such a noble endeavor.

The 14th Likhang Habi Market Fair will take place at the Glorietta Activity Center in Makati City from Oct. 18 to 20. There are no entrance fees.

Likhang Habi Market Fair is an opportunity for our country's skilled and talented weavers and artisans to showcase and sell their work and come face to face with potential customers, clients, and collaborators.

At their booths, you can buy textiles, garments, bags, home decor, jewelry, and other special creations. But the fair is more than just about shopping, said HABI president Mia Villanueva. "It is about fashion, it is about products, it is about home. Definitely, we have all those, but it's about meeting the artisans; it's about learning."

FEELING RIZAL HOVER 'IN THE AIR' TONIGHT IN HEIDELBERG

HEIDELBERG, Germany—They say history is not just something we read or study; it is something we walk through. All our movements and moments become, in a sense, historic (with the magnitude of their historicity being relative, of course). History inhabits the air of cities—most especially old, grizzled ones such as Heidelberg in Germany with the hum and thrum of its cobblestones, where we recently echoed the footfalls not only of countless German figures who have shaped history but also of one Dr. Jose Rizal.
