NATIONAL ARTS MONTH CELEBRATION
2025-02-05
In celebration of National Arts Month, the Philippine Consulate General in Toronto is pleased to invite everyone to view the online exhibit of the Museo ng Kaalamang Katutubo (MusKKat) entitled “Strong and Lustrous”, dedicated to the beauty and significance of abaca.
Abaca fiber comes from Musa textilis, a non-edible banana native to the Philippines. It has become a part of the Filipino way of life and has proven its versatility in various industries, including in handicraft, paper and automotive production. Abaca is also used as native textile for the traditional Filipino dress, ropes, banknotes, and even coffee filter.
