“We are very fortunate to have been chosen as the featured exhibiting country at the Musée du Quai Branly, which is the premier museum in France for indigenous art and culture. This is a great opportunity for us to showcase our history and our rich and unique Filipino heritage,”
“Layunin ng eksibisyon na ito ang mailahad ang mga kwento ng ating mga katutubo sa pamamagitan ng kanilang mga habi na ipinamana pa sa kanila ng kanilang mga ninuno. Pinapakita din nito ang alab na taglay ng mga maestro sa paghabi at mga tagapagtaguyod ng kalinangan mula sa iba’t ibang katutubong pamayanan na mag-aral, lumikha at magturo,”
SENATOR LOREN LEGARDA
