Everyday culture is being Filipino everyday. It is what we eat, wear, use, do, hum, dance to, think about, pray for, sleep on, and dream of every single day. Becoming more and more popular and commercially viable are items such as t’nalak and malongs, mats, baskets, bags, boxes, and gongs, as well as embroidery designs and symbolisms, epics and chants, music, dance and rituals, and people’s stories. These are being bought and even brought to other countries without benefit of deeper appreciation of the cultures that produce them. This first book in a series will help you know and understand which communities create them and how, from what materials and resources, and borne by which traditions and heritage.
