Culture & Couture at ILOMOCA: Filipiniana is Forever


Before the final day of January slipped quietly into night, I made a last-minute dash to the Iloilo Museum of Contemporary Art at Festive Walk Parade to catch Patis Tesoro's Filipiniana Is Forever before the exhibition folded its curtains for good.

What awaited me was an ethereal showcase of Filipiniana couture—pieces rooted in heritage yet alive with modern silhouettes, texture, and movement. Opened on October 11, 2025 as a kickoff exhibition for the Iloilo Arts Festival 2025, the show paired Tesoro’s delicate craftsmanship with a vibrant mix of paintings and wooden sculptures, creating a quiet dialogue between tradition and contemporary expression.

These images are moments I lingered over—captured for posterity, memory, and inspiration. Do enjoy the visuals.
