ABOUT

 
As a business venture, Barong Filipino’s achievements, compared with those of many other companies that have made it big in manufacture and retail, are, at best, modest. But success shouldn’t be measured only by material gains. Greater praise is due to those who attained success through sheer grit—those who helped themselves and the people who depended on them. Industry, passion for one’s work, determination and, most important, the love that attended every step of the struggle, are what Barong Filipino has had a lot of.

While paying homage to the proud national history that gave birth to such a delicate and distinctive attire, the company continues to find new expressions that keep the barong fresh, current, and unique. The barong, though intertwined with the national identity, is not confined to the past. For Barong Filipino, it is always evolving, keeping pace with every generation of leaders who wear it with pride.
