pov: who knew wearing your heritage could be this fun? HABI The Philippine Textile Council

Discovering the stories behind every thread, the artistry in every pattern, and the hands that keep our heritage alive. 🇵🇭❤️

From piña to abaca, every Filipino textile reflects generations of craftsmanship and community livelihoods.

🧵 Why Philippine Textiles Are Worth Every Thread 🇵🇭

Discover and celebrate Filipino craftsmanship at the 16th Likhang Habi Market Fair, happening October 9–11, 2026, at SPACE One Ayala, Makati. Here's a virtual tour of our favorite booths:

Filipino weaves are more than beautiful fabrics—they carry our heritage, craftsmanship, and the stories of communities whose livelihoods depend on them.

Now on its 16th year, Likhang Habi Market Fair 2026 celebrates the people behind every thread, from piña and abaca farmers to weavers, artisans, and designers who keep Filipino textile traditions alive while creating opportunities for local communities.

This year’s theme, “Worth Every Thread,” reminds us that the true value of a handmade piece goes beyond its price. It reflects generations of knowledge, countless hours of skilled labor, and the lives and communities it helps sustain.

Let’s wear our heritage with pride and support the hands that weave our stories. ❤️🇵🇭

🦞 pov: this is the hottest Sunday brunch in Manila right now! Edsa Shangri-La, Manila

HEAT’s Lobster & Beyond Sunday Super Brunch at Edsa Shangri-La is a serious feast for seafood lovers!

Our favorite? The Boston lobster—especially the succulent meat and umami-rich lobster brain. 🦞🔥

But there’s so much more: unlimited spiny lobster, lobster laksa, sinigang na lobster, lobster dim sum, blue crab, mussels, curacha, shrimp, salmon, grilled USDA beef, lechon, plus a milkshake bar and even lobster ice cream!

It’s an indulgent Sunday brunch that’s best enjoyed with the family.

8 hands. 4 chefs. So many Filipino stories on one table.
Congratulations Chef Bettina Arguelles , Chef Miko Calo , Chef Rhea Rizzo, and Chef for an incredible À La Natin collaboration at Mrs. Saldo’s! What made it special was how each chef brought her own heritage, memories, and culinary personality—yet everything came together so cohesively.

Ang galing niyo! Masarap lahat! More collaborations like this, please! 🔥
