AIDE MEMOIRE
February 18, 2020
The use of toga, with its deep Western roots, has been taken for granted all these years despite its many disadvantages:
- it is not Filipino;
- it does not inspire loyalty to the nation but as a reminder of a colonial past;
- the toga, which covers the whole body, is impractical and uncomfortable to use in a tropical country like the Philippines;
- it promotes uniformity and does not encourage the flourish of cultural diversity;
- renting or buying a toga, with gown and cap, is an additional expense and an added burden on parents.
- instill patriotism and nationalism among young learners;
- promote core values of Makabansa and Makakalikasan;
- promote local culture roots and perpetuate the production of local textiles of indigenous peoples;
- boost rural development;
- provide jobs and empower women and men weavers;
- revive and sustain local and traditional weaving enterprises.
For your consideration.
