In January 2012, Former President Benigno S. Aquino III signed Proclamation No. 313, designating January as Philippine Tropical Fabrics Month, urging public awareness and support for the use of indigenous textiles.

With the theme, “Spinning Innovations”, this year’s celebration aims to push forward with innovation without losing the cultural touch.
