Fashion in the Philippines is just mistaken as luxury. Even
though we are a Third World country, that does not mean that we don’t have the
right or that we should in Parliamentary procedure define as, to “lay on the
table” (attend to something more important) activities as such. Art is
indefinable. It does not look for credentials or qualifications. Just like
religion, it is free- it depends upon an individual. Fashion is indeed art-
everyone has their own point of view and it is crucial. Every country in the world was given eyes to
see and talents to represent in the industry. Without it, one of our basic
needs- clothing, would not be welcomed.
Filipinos maybe very dependent in the eyes of the Westerners
and other foreign nations but it is incorrect and impossible to say that we
have no originality. Culture, the most significant power we have to represent
is incomparable to any country. The first thing to notice-our flag, Three Stars
and the Sun (red, white, blue and yellow), is phenomenal. Second, a Filipino’s
tongue is multilingual. No matter what accent, language or dialect you portray,
a Filipino can imitate like no other. Third, our natural resources or shall I
say, natural ‘richness’ can be proven every day, history books can’t help but
show why the Spaniards settled in the Philippines for more than three hundred
years.
The Filipinos of
mixed descent (through various combinations of Malay, Chinese, and Spanish
intermarriage) have traditionally formed the country’s elite in business and
politics. That made us broaden our traditional culture into a more unique taste
that no one could ever explain. Until the westerners in the contemporary world
influenced the Philippines into a more intriguing way so as to clash with the
art we live by. No matter how our country became as dependent to other
countries in every predicament- politics, economy, and social – they never gave
up as a country; instead they used this as strength to stand out as a Third
World.
