The Hiraya Foundation commemorates the artistry of Habi in the inaugural Sininglahi Heritage Ball.
Many art forms of cultural significance are dying around the world, but not for Hiraya Foundation and its Filipino-American community. That’s why the craft of Habi is given a spotlight in the legendary Plaza Hotel in New York. The international landmark, known for hosting various world dignitaries and iconic gatherings, is the chosen event space to pay tribute to such historical artistry.
The affair is supported by distinguished individuals who share the same vision for cultural preservation. They are Philippine Consulate General in New York Deputy Arman Talbo and Permanent Representative of the Philippines to the UN Antonio Manuel Lagdameo. The Hiraya Board of Trustees greeted the esteemed guests such as Former Ambassador to the United States Jose L. Cuisia Jr. Among them are the Rigodon ensemble, whose female members are dressed in colorful ternos courtesy of Cora Manimbo, who used different fabrics from the weaving communities of Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. The gentlemen, on the other hand, are clad in Filipino-festival-inspired barong tagalog by Ulysses King.
