Description: Book of Poetry also known as BITS OF POETRY is a compilation of different types of
poem written by ‘La Pre Se Ferre’ members in partial fulfillment for creative writing at the end of
the 1st semester. It is a project that expresses one's creative thought and feeling towards a
particular subject.

Curator's Note: Some of the students don't spend their time in writing and reading due to social
media. To think creatively such as making a poem is not easy for them because they lack knowledge
about it. However, as the creative writing introduces the colorful idea about fiction and poetry,
students get excited and inspired by writing. This allows anyone to be a writer without a judgement.

Object: Evolution of Filipina Dress

Description: Modern Filipiniana has been evolving from a traditional ceremonial outfit into a staple

part of everyday Filipina’s closets. This integration has been possible due to innovative designs that

preserve the traditional components while introducing new, stylistic changes.

Curator's note: "Modern Filipiniana is a symbolic representation of our cultural identity and a

continuous reflection of the arts and life of our people. As our society evolves and progresses, so does
our clothing. Creating a Modern Filipiniana outfit is a way to bridge the gap between tradition and

contemporary, all while bearing in mind the history of Filipino fashion and its revered elegance. It is

not simply changing what we already are familiar with, but translating the great culture of our past

into a story that the current generation can understand and appreciate. A balanced coexistence of

the history and the present, it is the innovation of the classic while preserving the core of a

Filipiniana."
