President Benigno S. Aquino III has declared Jan. 24, 2011 as “Philippine Tropical Fabrics Day” to instill patriotism and nationalism among Filipinos, promote the preferential use of locally-manufactured goods using local resources and adopt measures that will help generate wider employment of local fabrics.
Proclamation No. 86 which Aquino signed Dec. 21 last year, defines tropical fabrics as those containing natural fibers produced, spun, woven or knitted and finished in the Philippines for use of office uniforms and government officials and employees and for other purposes.
According to the President, the implementation of Republic Act 9242 provides the needed push for the judicious utilization of natural fibers like pineapple, banana, abaca and Philippine silk on the one hand and the revival and upliftment of the local textile and garments industry on the other, both of which shall redound to creation of livelihood in the agricultural and industrial sectors.
He said as the use of Philippine tropical fabrics unfolds overtime, there will be a growing awareness and sense of pride among Filipinos to patronize and use locally-manufactured textiles.
The President designated the Philippine Textile Research Institute and the Department of Science and Technology to ensure and plan out activities during the observance of the Philippine Tropical Fabrics Day.
The Chief Executive also called on the fabric producers, textile manufacturers and garment industries, including the private sectors, associations and institutions to actively participate in the proper observance of the Philippine Tropical Fabrics Day and to give their full support in the local production and use of local tropical fabrics and in recognition of their importance in manpower capability-building.
