question sparked by a government memorandum by the Philippine Civil Service Commission (CSC) (Memorandum Circular No. 16, s. 2024), which required public employees to wear Filipiniana-inspired attire on the second, third, and fourth Mondays of the month, while ASEAN-inspired attire is required on the first Monday. While the declaration intended to promote national pride, it raised a deeper concern:<\/p><p>Why is our \u201cnational\u201d clothing based on colonial-era attire?<\/p><p>If the Philippines is a tapestry of diverse peoples and cultures, why does one colonial-influenced style dominate? What about the garments of other communities, in the context specifically Visayans, whose identities long predate colonization?<\/p><p>This disconnect inspired the creation of Sanina. A project that began to challenge the idea that Filipiniana is the only face of Filipino sartorial heritage. By spotlighting the clothing of pre-colonial Visayas, Sanina aims to show that the Philippines\u2019 cultural identity did not begin with colonization, and neither should

Sanina,\u00a0the Bisaya word for \u201cgarment\u201d, represents the heart of the project. However, it\u2019s more than just clothing;\u00a0it reflects the culture, identity, and lived experiences of the Visayan people\u00a0before colonization. Sanina aims to honor the roots of local language\u00a0and cultural ownership in owning stories through accurate storytelling, documentation, and collaboration. THE STORY THE STORY Sanina began with a simple question sparked by a government memorandum by the Philippine Civil Service Commission (CSC) (Memorandum Circular No. 16, s. 2024), which required public employees to wear Filipiniana-inspired attire on the second, third, and fourth Mondays of the month, while ASEAN-inspired attire is required on the first Monday. While the declaration intended to promote national pride, it raised a deeper concern: Why is our \u201cnational\u201d clothing based on colonial-era attire? If the Philippines is a tapestry of diverse peoples and cultures, why does one colonial-influenced style dominate? What about the garments of other communities, in the context specifically Visayans, whose identities long predate colonization? This disconnect inspired the creation of Sanina. A project that began to challenge the idea that Filipiniana is the only face of Filipino sartorial heritage. By spotlighting the clothing of pre-colonial Visayas, Sanina aims to show that the Philippines\u2019 cultural identity did not begin with colonization, and neither should representation. OUR VISION To spark curiosity, pride, and cultural awareness by making pre-colonial Visayan clothing visible, engaging, and accessible to both local and global audiences. OUR MISSION At Sanina, we strive to accurately document and present historically grounded visuals and the narratives of pre-colonial Visayan garments. WHO WE ARE Sanina is a heritage-focused initiative led by a group of\u00a0De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde Multimedia Arts students passionate about reconnecting people to pre-colonial Visayan identity. Through partnerships with Visayan organizations that fight for the same advocacy and weaving communities, the project promotes responsible cultural appreciation and meaningful engagement. Whether you are a tourist, student, artist, or cultural supporter, Sanina welcomes you to explore, learn, and connect.
