Press Release Body: On the 21st of September, Lumban, Laguna celebrates its Burdang
Festival, which showcases the town's main industry of Jusi and Piņa clothes. The
Philippines is popular for its unique and elaborate designs of embroidered Jusi and
Piņa, intricately woven by hands. The event is Lumban's way of celebrating and
saluting this renowned ancient craft of embroidery as well as the Filipino talent
and artistry.

In this event, all local producers participate to highlight the finest hand-made
embroideries including the famous 'Barong Tagalog', the ternos, shoulder and hand
bags, veils, scarves, wedding gowns and other ladies' wear. Marvel how a 30-year-old
embroidery business owned by Ms. Lolita Aquino survives despite all the
nitty-gritty one has to undergo to finish a fine work of embroidery.
The barongs in Laguna are considered to be authentic. This art of embroidery has
been passed on from one generation to the other, making it the town's pride and a
famous tourist attraction.
