CHAPTER 9.national Symbol Report
• Originated from the northern part of the Philippines, Barong Tagalog is the
national costume of Filipino men.

long lines feature can be traced of its Chinese sources, the airy tropical
appearance of Indo-Malay costume, the elongated effect of Hindu dressing,
and the ornamental restraint of European men’s clothing. The fabric used for
this clothe is usually made of different natural resources from the Philippines
such as piña fabric (hand-woven from pineapple leaves), jusi fabric (machine-
woven from banana silk), and banana fabric (hand-woven from banana fiber).
• Barong Tagalog is usually worn in ceremonial events such as weddings, formal
parties, and official business meetings.
