The Filipino is indeed artistic from music, painting, to artisan craft - the art of the people. Philippine art is found everywhere, from the traditional nipa hut to personal adornments.
What make our artisan's art distinctly Filipino, yet highly diversified to be loved by everyone, especially tourists?
1. Original and ethnic
2. Practical and functional
3. Rich in variety, motif and theme
4. Resourceful, creative and pioneering
5. Suits varied tastes and choices
6. Price affordable - and adjustable
7. Shopping-friendly, suki style
8. Lastly, it has a touch of humor, subtle imitation
As
an industry, Philippine handicrafts have a long way to go, mainly in
quality improvement, and entrepreneurial development, giving priority
on the cottage level. Although widely known abroad Philippine crafts need organized marketing to reach far and wide in the global market.
