In support of the latest advancements in Philippine textiles, I proudly opened the ‘KatHABI – A Textile Innovation Exhibit’ in the Senate today. This collaboration between my Office and the Department of Science and Technology – Philippine Textile Research Institute (DOST-PTRI) unfolds a spectrum of innovation where our commitment to sustainability is evident in the spotlight on natural textile fibers.
Displays include different fabrics, apparel, and interior products made of abaca, bamboo, banana, and pineapple, among others. The exhibition also highlights strides in the handloom weaving sector and the use of natural dyes, weaving a narrative of tradition and modern ingenuity.

Sa ating pagsuporta sa pag-unlad ng mga tela sa Pilipinas, ipinagmamalaki ko ang pagbubukas ng ‘KatHABI – A Textile Innovation Exhibit’ sa Senado ngayong araw. Ang pagtutulungang ito ng aking Opisina at ng Department of Science and Technology – Philippine Textile Research Institute (DOST-PTRI) ay nagpapakita sa serye ng inobasyon kung saan ang aming layunin sa sustainability ay makikita sa iba’t ibang kagamitan sa natural textile fibers.
Kabilang sa naka-display ang mga tela, kasuotan, at interior products na gawa sa abaka, kawayan, saging, at pinya. Ang eksibisyon ay nagpapakita rin ng mga hakbang sa sektor ng handloom weaving at paggamit ng natural dye, na bumubuo sa kuwento ng tradisyon at modernong kahusayan.
