By Dr. Randy M. Madrid
Published by HABI The Philippine Textile Council and Far Eastern University, 2023.
This new book acknowledges the place of piña—the textile and the craft—in Philippine culture through its long history and its trajectory into the future. Authored by Dr. Randy M. Madrid, a passionate mover for the preservation of our national textile heritage, the book leads up to potential developments for the next generations. Many excellent full color photographs—both archival and current—are featured in the book but of course these do not replace the experience of actually touching the treasure that piña cloth is.
Piña Futures: Weaving Memories and Innovations is the fourth book in HABI’s publication series of books on Philippine weaving. Other books published by HABI are: HABI: A Journey, Rara: Art and Tradition of Mat Weaving in the Philippines and Weaving Ways: Filipino Style and Technique. HABI: The Philippine Textile Council is one of the pioneering nonprofit organizations in the Philippines that focuses its efforts towards the preservation of our local Philippine weaving heritage.

Z. V.I received my patadyong today. It is very pretty, the fabric is well woven and soft... My grandmother used patadyong’s as far as I could remember, and wearing one just reminded me of her unselfish love and care. To me it is a comfort garment. I was born in Iloilo, and am very familiar with patadyongs. Thank you for making it available to us here in the US.
