I think it is better to feature the hand embroidery of Taal because it’s a diminishing industry. We should garner interest in it to revive it and become a cottage industry again. I remember my father used to tell me when he was growing up, he had to embroider p/t so he can have pocket money to go to school. he knew how to make “callado”.
