To those who have not seen one yet, this is how the Barong Tagalog looks like. The less elaborate version is used as an everyday office attire of most Filipino executives and professionals.
I am pleased to share with you the story behind the barong tagalog.
During the Spanish occupation of the Philippines (over 300 years from 1561-1889) the barong tagalog was required by the Spanish government for Filipinos (indios) to be worn at most times to show the difference between the rich and the poor. He said that the poor who serve the rich must always be in uniform.
Take their chauffeurs, maids, and employees as examples. They are in
uniform to immediately distinguish them from the employers. When the Spaniards colonized the Filipinos, they had to make it abundantly clear who the boss was through the imposition of a dress code. Men were not allowed to tuck their shirttails in. That was the mark of his inferior status.
Second, the cloth material should be transparent so that he could not
conceal any weapon that could be used against the masters. Third, as a precaution on thievery, pockets are not allowed on the shirt.
By the turn of the century a new middle class began to emerge among
the Filipinos. These were known as the principalia. They have mastered Spanish laws and were able to obtain title to lands. They became successful in business and agriculture and sent their sons to be educated abroad. They were privileged to build their houses in the poblacion around the plaza near the seats of power. Only a member of the principalia could be addressed by the title DON, and
only they were allowed to vote. They had all the trappings of power and status, but for one undeniable fact: they still had to wear their
shirttails out, if only to remind them that they were still Indios.
What the Spanish authorities did not smother out was the Filipino's
will power and determination to psychologically conquer their colonial masters, through improvisation and reinterpretation. The Filipino's stylistic bongga (flashy dresser) was a reaction against the overt discrimination and insensitive oppression of the colonizers.
For example, Filipinos were forbidden to use imported silk and fabrics
for their Barong, so they ingeniously used pineapple leaves to weave the pinya jusi cloth of the barong, turning the outfit into such delicate material, of luminous silky rich mixture much finer than silk. And to add insult to injury, they hand- embroidered the front with such exquisite abandon.
Palgrave, the ethnographer noted, "The capitan's shirt was the native
barong, of fine and delicate fiber, embroidered and frilled; it was
light and cool and not tucked in the trousers".
The Barong Tagalog gained it power, prestige, and status when President Quezon, the first Filipino president, declared it the National dress. The status of the lowly inferior Barong thus became another symbol of Filipinos' resistance to colonization.
After World War II, Philippine presidents began wearing the Barong
Tagalog at their installation into office and on every formal state occasion.
In contemporary times the Barong Tagalog is the power dress. As an abogado de campanilla, you cannot afford not to wear the Barong Tagalog when arguing a case in Philippine courts.
Today, every visitor and foreign dignitary invited to a Malacanang
Palace state function must, by necessity, and dictated by protocol, be dressed to the nines in a Barong Tagalog. The invitations specifically say come in "Barong" instead of the traditional "Coat and Tie". Thus, every one invited to dinner at the Presidential Palace and in many Filipino homes will unknowingly and unwittingly have to experience directly, what it feels to have to wear his shirttails out, to suffer the indignity of having the material of his barong transparent so that he can not conceal any weapon; and horrors, to be accused directly of incipient thievery by having no pockets in his barong to put the silver.
This is very interesting. It makes every Filipino more proud of himself and his heritage while wearing it. Now that I’m in the office and wearing one, I certainly have that feeling.

You're really a proud pinoy!
Are you a government executive or something?
Anyway, it was really a great heritage.
"Turning coal into gold."
Barong Tagalog is not cheap. They're expensive specially the Barongs that were well made and fine class.
Wearing Barong now is a sign of respect to our nation. The person wearing it receives not like what we have in the past but rather respect and dignity.

Thank you.

I remember seeing a picture of the world leaders in an APEC summit hosted by the Philippines in the late 1990s. They were all clad in beautiful BARONG and they all looked so nice. I agree, your national dress is beautiful, and the history behind it makes it even more meaningful.

mr_right14 said on Sep 11, 2006....
History and Heritage will always be there.
It would depend on the people how the value of these will be.
It's like how we treasure the memories of our past relatives.
quid:
Have you imagine some Filipinos knows more about the history of other countries than his own? Asar dba?
Most of our people doesn't care about Philippine Constitution even it's one of the subjects taken in college.
Filipinos likes to sing the US anthem than Lupang Hinirang.
There are some foreign nationals who loves our country.
Praises it as if his own country.
To think of it, the citizens are the ones who make success spells impossible.

Wearing Barong is somewhat like being a PALADIN.
PALADIN
The paladin is a holy knight, crusading in the name of good and order, and is a divine spellcaster. By definition and game restriction, paladins are almost always of the Lawful Good alignment (variant paladins were created which adhere to other alignments). Paladin characters are expected to demonstrate and embody goodness - they are not supposed to lie or use poison, and some interpretations say they should use stealth as a last resort. Switching to any alignment other than Lawful Good or breaching part of the Paladin's code of conduct results in a loss of all class abilities. The paladin is a champion of justice and destroyer of evil protected and strengthened by an array of divine powers.
Paladins are knights, working for their church or an order. Qualifying for an order is often difficult, and membership always requires that the paladin follow a specific code of conduct. These orders often allow non-paladins as members, with good-aligned rangers and fighters being the most common sort of nonpaladin members. Paladins can serve in the military force of an aristocrat sanctioned by their religion, or within some autonomous church-based military order established for defense.
The epic paladin stands in the forefront of the battle against chaos and evil in the world, shining as a beacon of hope to all who fight the good fight.

barong tagalog? national pride?
common guys! i've seen so many "respected men" wearing barong tagalog but they are not respectable in the sense that you know they are corrupt. during sona you've seen enough wearing barongs but i bet you want to spit on their faces.
it is not the things that make a nation respectable but what the people of that nation (especially those in the government) do to make their country proud.
ikaw, ano na nagawa mo para maipagmalaki mo ang banyang hanggang sa ngayon ay patuloy na pinagsasamantalahan?

quidnunc said on Sep 11, 2006....
anonymous, you are sadly confusing the dress with the person wearing it. Barong tagalog is not a magical cloth that transforms a scoundrel into a saint by the mere expedient of wearing it. Although it is used by most people in government that you and i probably hate, it does not diminish the meaning and significance of this national dress.
it is not the things that make a nation respectable but what the people of that nation (especially those in the government) do to make their country proud.
No argument about that. But you fail to realize that the barong tagalog is not just a "thing." It showcases the artistic talent of the Filipinos, and it represents our psychological conquest of colonialism, at a time when it was seemingly insurmountable to actually do so.
I'm sure you'll realize that you and I will do your country proud by posting positive thoughts about our heritage, instead of ranting anonymously...
I can feel a deep sense of patriotism in you, and that is a very good trait.

mr_right: nice work! is this a hobby for you?
-
mr_right14 said on Sep 12, 2006....
Yup, it's kinda hobby.
Yet it gives me a big boost on my personality.
Also on my career and credentials.
As a professional nowadays specially an Engineer particularly ECE, we should be like a Jack-of-all-trade.
Learning programming such as like computer programmer degree holders.
Of course the Electronics fundamentals is a must.
Knowledge on applied physics is also needed.
Communications have different focuses.
It can be microwave, cellphone networks, acoustic designs, telephone networks, LAN/WAN/INTRANET, navigation (sea and air), etc...
As if like a computer engineer.
Background on mechatronics.
Technical know-how of software programming.
Approach as IT professionals.
Waaaaaa!
Wonder if I can make it to be competitive as like that. I wanna be known to the world through my works and achievements.
I desperately need a national title. I've been aiming for that since high school. Huhuhu...

hi quid!
Sorry about my outburst. I just feel so disgusted with the way things are happening in this country. I love anything Pilipino and I have even given a part of me to make this country better (and yes, to no avail!). I prefer to be labelled nationalist than patriotic. guess you know the difference being a law practitioner...

quidnunc said on Sep 13, 2006....
hi totally_cd! kumusta?
no worries about that... we're entitled to have those outbursts every now and then, especially against our !@#$<&*^%$! government...
yes, being a nationalist is also good.
i hope to hear more from you!
-
totally_cd said on Sep 13, 2006....
hi again!
this is becoming addictive! but as a law practitioner, how come you are discussing barong tagalog?
-
mr_right14 said on Sep 13, 2006....
Wow!
This is a great post and comments to read at!
I notice, all of us who commented are Filipinos.
We have some different views but it all do focus on our country.
We all do have something to be proud and be ashamed of our country.
My point of view, to tell I had several posts on my blog about things that I hate in this country.
How much I hate as almost regret that I'm a Filipino.
To think why I was born here and live here.
It's not my choice to live here but my parents.
The career is the most part that I hate!
Why do professionals struggle for a job.
Working beyond from his profession.
Low salary and much struggle for people living in a minimum wage.
Worst, no work nor any ways to have a living.
I hate it that's why I'm having these kind of motives to meet my ever wanted career.
I need diversity and not focus nor mastery.
Why?
I do wanna focus on semiconductors which could lead me to success like Jack Kilby and Robert Noyce, Leo Esaki, William Shockley, John Bardeen and Walter Brattain.
But in this country, you need diversity.
Don't misjudge me as I hate my country.
What I hate is, we're having these problems but there's no action!
Imagine these people particularly those bastard squatters (not all, read thoroughly my description of who these bastards are).
They are those who suffer, low profile and always ask for the support of the government.
Imagine they ask help and most of the taxes and donations were spent for them.
What do they do?
They're almost like rats that reproduce every year!
S@#t! They keep on asking for help but they don't help themselves.
Keeps on having a new baby just like a factory.
Where's the essence of being a responsible citizen?
What will happen?
Who are they?
Problem makers!
It's not just the government will do the action.
It should start from themselves!
Sorry quid...
Did you get my point?
I do wanna help them...but this is my way of helping.
How can you help someone if he/she keeps on staying in a pit.
Focus on the negative sides rather than positive ones.
"No matter how much you spray a freshener the stinky smell of a rotten fish will always smell the most."
After cleaning out the mess, that's the time to relax, sit in a couch and enjoy the entertainment.
As QC/QA Engr.
I do focus on the quality.
I don't wanna have some customer complaints.
It's degrading to the company's reputation and I'm responsible on it to have an analysis and make a corrective action.
What am I going to enjoy if my company's reputation is degrading?

totally_cd: c'mon, don't be so naive... this is blogdom, and SC is an online community of people who share their thoughts on anything under the sun - regardless of their creed, breed, religion, or profession. had i wanted to talk about nothing but law and the legal profession, i should have joined a blog site exclusively for lawyers, right? this is the beauty of SoulCast, we can all write about anything at all. if you go over my page, you will note that i have actually posted on various topics such as love, places, sex, politics, life moments, family, and relationships, among others. heck, i even posted some poems! i know of another lawyer (she was featured in a TV show) who is a blog addict too. she never writes about the law or her profession. she blogs about food and,sometimes, politics.
this is the beauty of blogdom my friend. let's not be boxed-in or stereotyped by what we do for a living. if i will be writing only about the law and other serious stuff here, then i'd rather work and pen my pleadings... for blogging won't be fun and relaxing anymore.

It gives me an outlet where I can say my feelings, insights, regrets and hatred even secrets.
We also gain knowledge and facts too.
Creating a wide range of ideas that could help out to ease our boredom from work.
Those who have problems and posted it, imagine how the members react and give their opinions and sympathies.
I'm a proud SC member!
I love it here!
labyrinth:
Thanks to you my friend!
Wonder why local folks never love our own.
To increase our economy, we should patronize our own products.
To inform the others, did you know that almost all of the products here tagged as imported where actually made here locally?
It's manufactured and made here then shipped to the respective mother company and then have some tags, that's it!
We have so many testing facility here specially in semiconductor IC's.
Why?
I don't wanna say what company it is but it's an American company.
All the products that are about for final testing or have some new models to be tests or even for failure analysis, they bring it here!
Why?
Co'z they are not satisfied with the inspectors and tests of their own.
Also, a company from China; a sister company.
They bring their half finished goods here.
Why?
Co'z the quality of their process doesnt meet the customers' requirements.
Also, we have so many professionals that serves as a pioneer for other countries.
They were sent by their respective companies and be the one to manage and carry out company businesses there.
BARONG TAGALOG
It bears witness for all the hardships and victory our ancestors had.
Live by it and bring out the best quality Filipino.
Our ancestors made it for us, it is now for us to give importance and preserve for the future Filipinos.
Remeber RIZAL stated:
"Ang Kabataan ang pag-asa ng bayan!"
It doesnt mean that we will always think that the youth will take charge and responsible for the country.
We should always think the best for our country such the time the youth takes charge it, will be better than we've done.
If that string goes...it will be better and better.
Not leaving our responsibilities.

totally_cd said on Sep 14, 2006....
hi mr_right!
i am an engineer too. lady electrical engineer. as far as i know, these products (garments, electronic devices and parts etc) are manufactured here because of
LOW SALARY,
SUPPRESSED UNIONISM,
NON TAXABLE IMPORTS ON TO-BE EXPORTED GOODS
and yes high quality of goods manufactured by our
very own people (our workers).
China send their goods here not because they produce low quality goods. you are naive. (quid told me i am too). they could produce any product they need (even booster rockets that work!) china has a quota in US and we do not. it(china) used up her quota for 2006 last march and in order to fulfill their contracts, they have to send their products here to be finished or to be repacked to be sent then to US(as final destination). we are the transshipment point of this country! and why this is happening? as long as money talks everything is possible. did you get the picture?
and yes i hate the squatters whom were given priorities in land distribution but come to think of it, this problem (squatter) is a by product of inefficiency (and stupidity and i may add greed) of our leaders.
if our government really would like to do what it is supposed to do, there will be real social services. education will be given priority. i believe this will make a difference. and to instill to us (sana from birth pa!) that our country (warts and all) is worth fighting for.
hi quid!
aha! now you've given me a way on how to express whatever is in my mind. and i'll do just that! maybe not on bonsai (a hobby) coz i have a group just for that.
-
mr_right14 said on Sep 14, 2006....
You may say I'm naive coz I was once told like that but turned different.
The're some say it's impossible but I've made it.
They say I can't reach it, but I'm on top looking down on them.
The way you think of it....yes it's the other picture why companies do that.
Besides we're in the pacific and a good site based from the archipelago.
A good setup for shipments and market aspects.
But from my point of view, I'd like to inform that we should patronize our own.
Not too much on the imported goods.
I'm not pointing out all.
There's still Filipino made that's so poor and can even be considered trash.
Patronizing others would create a big effect on us.
Our own professionals, our economy, businesses, industry, foreign investments, etc..
Hope you get what I'm pointing out!
Thanks! I've found a new buddy here!
And a lady engineer! WOW!

totally_cd said on Sep 14, 2006....
hi mr_right
maybe we could start patronizing our own by patronizing our very own language! wanna try? i know i am not that good in english because i do not need to use it. in fact, i trained (taught) my kids to love our language. i told them not to be ashamed to use it. i know there are bloggers in this very particular site that do not understand our language but we can use it once in a while and maybe enclose the meaning in english. sounds tedious ba?
by the way i patronize our products and advertise them to my foreign friends. my home is a showcase of our products. it is just a matter of knowing where to buy the best.

maupay quid!
mabasa ko ang ilang naisulat mo sa blog mo at talaga palang lawyer ka! kung naghahanap ka ng pro bono cases at wala kang matatagap na bayad o publicity, may suhestiyon ako.
i once managed an ngo. our benefactor is the 3rd largest ngo in england. they send us the money to be distributed among the beneficiaries here(we selected them although our benefactor gave us the general idea on how and whom to select). we get to visit these beneficiaries once in a while and collect their reports. from our input and the beneficiaries report we submit quarterly report to our benefactor.
several of our beneficiaries need pro bono lawyers. they handle sexually abused girl under protective custody. Most are victims of incest. when i came to visit these girls i felt so disgusted and depressed. some of them are taking anti depressants and similar medicines. they have this padded room that is often in use! you could just imagine what goes on in that facility.
another ngo naman is in davao. although wala sila holding facility for street children(they lack the much needed funds to build one), they are trying their best na lang to save these children from abuse(although anong abuse pa ba pwede nilang maranasan!). maybe you have heard the extrajuducial killings in davao. the victims are street children dong! in my heart i can not blame these children no matter what their crimes are. i still believe and think they are the victims. in the final analysis, it is not the squatters (hey listen mr_right!) and these street children who are at fault, they are the victims.
haba na ba. nag-iinit ang paligid ko when i discuss these things! i'll connect you to them if you want to help. ciao!

Pasensya na po hindi naman po sa ganun...
Tinutukoy ko ang pag-anak ng pag-anak ng mga magulang na hindi naman kayang sustentuhan ang pangangailangan nila.
Ang nangyayari lalo lang bumibigat ang problema nila.
Pagiging iresponsibilidad ng magulang.
Ang pagtaguyod ng anak ay isa sa nakakaepekto ng ating ekonomiya.
Maliit na porsyento nga lang ngunit kung ilang libo o milyon ang ganito, malaking problema sa bansa.
Dumadami ang mga batang lansangan at nanghihingi ng limos.
At kasamaang palad, ang iba pa dito ay sinasamantala pa ng mga sindikato.
Pinalilimos sila at maliit na porsyento ang natitira s akanila at ang iba ay sa sindikato na.
May tirahan nga sila ngunit minamaltrato.
Tunay na biktima ang mga bata.
Wala silang malay.
Sila ang nananagot sa kasalanan ng matatanda.
Kaya nga ang sabi ko, maging responsable ang nakakatanda para sa buhay ng mga bata.
At sa kaukulang panahon na sila naman ang gagabay sa mga susunod na henerasyon, ay maging tama at wasto o mahigitan pa ang kabuhayan natamasa natin.

Hey quid and totally_cd
thanks for the vote though there are some commented I was making spam.
Yeah it seems true coz I posted those without having any relevance on the topic hehe.
Sorry members!
Now here's my comment:
I visited my dentist a while ago and have some dental check-up.
Too sad, there's a problem on my teeth.
I brush too hard though I'm using a soft bristles, it made my teeth weak.
Also my gums are being far away from the real gum line on the teeth.
Exposing a small part of the teeth and that's the reason I have some sensitive teeths!
Waaaaa
On my stay there... "a phone conversation of my dentist with her client"
(the past)
The client rushed the dentist to make dentures for him.
50% of it have been paid.
This client didn't come back and the dentures have been there for weeks.
The client must pay the remaining co'z its already way to final and just need to have a fitting if its ok.
(present)
Now the dentist called the client and the mother answered it.
Her client, has a balance to be paid.
The mother said, the client (her son) had already left to Guam.
The dentist said she had a li'l conversation at the clinic 2 days ago.
The mother insist that her son already left few weeks ago.
Kinda scary, what was that a ghost? Hehehe
Lets continue...
What the dentist will do to the dentures?
For display?
It should be paid right?
The mother angrily answered back that they're not going to pay for it.
Sad....
Poor dentist.
What can you say about this quid?
That client was such an idiot.
Stand proud and rushed the dentist.
He said, he has the money and going to pay whatever the cost as long as it can be made in time.
(according to the dentist)

Mr_Right: i'm happy to note that you feel sorry for the spam messages you posted in some other members' blogs. they were offended and i think you need to individually post your apology to them.
as regards the dentist's problem, this is obviously a case of contractual breach. if he has the address of the client, he can actually try sending a demand letter, seeking payment and compelling the latter to receive the finished dentures.

mr_right14 said on Sep 16, 2006....
yeah, its my fault.
But I only have 1 post left that time, so I made a single post for all of them.
I will make it individually addressed to them...
Dentist's Story
I didn't actually hear what the client's mother said to the dentist.
The dentist told me, she was acting so rude and arrogant.
Even insulted her and some fould words.
This dentist is not the real owner of the clinic.
It is owned by another dentist.
Poor girl.
She had such thing even she gave service professionally.
I've known this dentist almost 3yrs.
Where at the same age and she's lovely and caring.
Specially to the children that were afraid of having tooth extractions.
She has this charm you know.
What we usually call as "magaan ang kamay".

Yes I already have that in mind before I post my plea and apologies.
I do stand on my responsibility and not evading it.
