The Famous Burdang Festival in Lumban, Laguna
On the 21st of September, Lumban, Laguna celebrates its Burdang Festival, which showcases the town’s main industry of Jusi and Piña clothes. The Philippines is popular for its unique and elaborate designs of embroidered Jusi and Piña, intricately woven by hands. The event is Lumban’s way of celebrating and saluting this renowned ancient craft of embroidery as well as the Filipino talent and artistry.
In this event, all local producers participate to highlight the finest hand-made embroideries including the famous ‘Barong Tagalog’, the ternos, shoulder and hand bags, veils, scarves, wedding gowns and other ladies’ wear. Marvel how a 30-year-old embroidery business owned by Ms. Lolita Aquino survives despite all the nitty-gritty one has to undergo to finish a fine work of embroidery.
The barongs in Laguna are considered to be authentic. This art of embroidery has been passed on from one generation to the other, making it the town’s pride and a famous tourist attraction.
