A Venue For Filipino Heritage

“Space is the breath of art” — Frank Lloyd Wright

I consider it a masterwork when an unused space is turned to a memorable location. My heart felt pleased as I see a place change from being just a site, into becoming a location that cultivates memorable experiences.

On its 15th year, Filipinas Heritage Library opened their doors and invited interested event enthusiasts to come and see one of Makati City’s historic structures, a space set with rich background and unique architecture.

This occasion entitled as “Book at the Library,” took place last Friday, August 26, 2011 to showcase the several venues that they offer for various functions. This first open house event was conducted to draw event specialists and people who are looking for a venue to book for an event and I am one of the lucky visitors to check out the scene.

I scouted the venue. Numerous suppliers inclined at participating with events lined up the Library’s right space. Most of the booths are offering products or services that can be valuable in any celebrations like weddings, birthdays and even corporate events. Among these is Palamuti by PJ Valenciano that caters custom-made jewelries ideal for any wedding and/or birthday occasions.

If you are one of those lucky brides who are soon to wed, or is someone who is looking forward to your next grand birthday with a touch of a traditional Filipino feel, Filipinas Heritage Library venues are perfect. No need to worry about the catering set-ups as they also have several accredited caterers that can serve any occasion. I suggest to just find your perfect gown to match the location, and top it up with any of Palamuti’s all-handmade fashion pieces or request to customize your accessories to accentuate your theme. Then I’m pretty sure everything will fall into place.

the Vinta: Filipina Heritage

The vinta is a traditional boat found in Mindanao.  To the locals, it is also known as lepa-lepa or sakayan. These boats are made by the Badjaos and Moros living in the Sulu Archipelago.  A typical vinta is characterized by its sail, the design of which comprises of assorted vertical colors which represent the colorful culture and history of the Muslim community who makes and uses them. These boats are used for inter-island transport of people and goods and can be found easiest in Zamboanga City.  

The vinta is also the inspiration behind the latest wearable art piece from local artisan PJ Valenciano.  While browsing through the internet, she came across a photo of a dark man inside a boat, with corals and huge conch shells on the floor of the craft surrounding him.  It was, however the colorful geometric patterns on the sail of the boat, a vinta, that she found most striking.  What sets this piece apart from other bib necklaces that have saturated the market today is the craftsmanship behind it and, most importantly, the distinctly Filipino look and feel that it exudes.  One glance and you can definitely see the resemblance to the Muslim vinta!

Vinta-inspired necklace for any occasion

This work of art was made with the features of the Filipina in mind.  Rich and opulent without overpowering, the Vinta-inspired necklace re-interpets our local heritage and translates it into the new millennium.  The play of colors, from citrusy lemon, mandarin, lime, and apricot, to cooler greens and purples is balanced enough that you can wear it regardless of time of day or season or even the wearer's skin tone.  And the piece itself, though more eye-catching and hefty than the usual chain necklace, is versatile enough to be worn with a white shirt on a simple lunch out with friends, or with a white gown on your special wedding day.

The Vinta-inspired necklace from Palamuti is truly a must-have this season, and for the years to come.  After all, showing off your heritage is never passe.  Given the intricate details of the piece (which took three days to make) and the artisan's philosophy on creating only one piece per design, I'd get my hands on one as soon as I could if I were you ;)  Contact PJ Valenciano for customized versions of this featured piece or to visit her showroom.

Also, watch out for more wearable art pieces inspired by the colorful and lively patterns unique in Philippine cultural artifacts!
