In celebration of the 128th Philippine Independence Anniversary, this year’s exhibit is anchored on the theme “Kalayaan, Kinabukasan, Kasaysayan.” The showcase brings together a striking collection of Filipiniana gowns and locally woven textiles that reflect the country’s rich cultural identity and evolving creative spirit.

Guests stepping into the Grand Lobby are welcomed into a visual journey through iconic Filipino silhouettes and contemporary design, from the elegance of the terno, to the graceful Maria Clara and the intricately crafted indigenous weaves from across the archipelago. Each piece is thoughtfully designed to embody the colors of the Philippine flag: red for patriotism and courage, blue for justice, peace, and truth, white for equality and fraternity, and yellow for the sun and stars, symbolizing democracy, freedom, and unity.
