The country celebrates Philippine Tropical Fabrics (PTF) every January. Know more:
Through Proclamation 313, Series of 2012, the monthlong activities aim to promote textile production using natural textile fibers, technologies and industries in the Philippines, the Philippine Textile Research Institute said in a news release
The PTF contains natural textile fibers from pineapple leaf, abaca, banana, and Philippine silk, which are produced, spun, woven, or knitted, and finished in the Philippines. Public officials’ and employees’ involvement is also enjoined as PTF is prescribed for their uniforms, based on Republic Act 9242, wherein fabrics to be used must contain at least 5 percent by weight of either abaca leaf sheath, banana pseudostem and pineapple leaf, or 15 percent by weight of silk.
Sustainability and innovation drive the textile and garment industries forward and offer the industry the impetus and platform to rebuild a solid and circular textile-garment economy.
