(SPOT.ph) Feeling the need to just rent out traditional Filipiniana attire stems from thinking it could only be worn during Buwan ng Wika festivities. Not to mention that they can be a bit expensive. But you'd be surprised to know how much you can make use of it as an adult—weddings, formal occasions, or jobs that require you to wear the ensemble often. Take, for example, hosting gigs and themed events.
If you're at that point where you're constantly looking for barongs and other traditional attire at an affordable price point, check out NL Alerta Apparel in a quaint spot in Maginhawa.
