'Pili Barong': Designer dress for the Sorsoganon.
(From Philippine Daily Inquirer)
Byline: Emir Gamis, Sorsogon City
IF THE suggestion of Irma Guhit, Philippine Information Agency manager in Sorsogon, would appeal to top officials in the province, it would be easy to know a Sorsoganon by identifying him through his dress.
And not just an ordinary dress, but the "Polo Barong" with a twist-"Pili Barong."
"We must have a (sense of) identity even just in the way we dress, especially if we would like to promote pili. Even in our social and official functions, especially during formal occasions, the pili fruit is a design that can be hand-painted on your barong," said Guhit, who also conceptualized the first Sorsogon Pili Festival in 2000.
"When you don that barong, you should feel good that you're a Sorsogueno. Wherever you go, you have a mark," she added.
Catching on, Sorsogon City Mayor Sally Lee donned a Patis Tesoro gown with pili fruit patches during her recent State of the City address on the provincial capitol grounds.
