In
the
Philippines a modern, westernized style of dressing is
common everywhere. In the urban areas as well as in the rural areas. For
a long
time already. Happily, it doesn't mean that it is
impossible to see typical
Filipino dress.
At
ceremonies, festivals and all other kind of important meetings, you will
be able to see some men wearing the Barong Tagalog.
Barong Tagalog is an
upper garment and known as the formal men's wear of the Philippines.
The
Barong Tagalog has a long tradition of more than four centuries. The
look as well as the meaning of the dress have evolved throughout four
centuries. The special traditional features remained untouched; the
dress is thin and transparent (with a shirt under it), has decoration and
one will wear the barong
tagalog 'tucked out'.
The
meaning of the name "Barong Tagalog"
'Baro'
= word for 'dress'
'Barong' = means 'dress of '
'Baro ng Tagalog' = 'dress of the Tagalog'
