Last December 13, Quentin Tarantino, the cutting edge director of “comedic-violent” films, once again generated controversy by wearing the Filipino “Barong Tagalog” during the 65th Annual Golden Globe Awards Night.

The novel sartorial appearance generated equivocal comments. The LA crowd, seeing the “Barong” for the first time, thought the director looked too casual in his “tie-less” get-up. While Pinoys world-wide applauded Quentin for giving their native dress international exposure.

According to http://www.tesoros.ph Quentin was gifted with a ‘TESORO’S” barong by the National Commission of Culture and the Arts Executive Director Cecilia Guidote-Alvarez and by the Film Development Council of the Philippines vice-Chair Christine Dayrit. The Director was presented the 24 hour executed, custom-made barong for his courtesy call to the Philippine President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.

Tesoro’s must have done such a good job as Quentin saw it fit to wear the barong again and in front of an international media event at that.

Quentin’s patronage of the barong will endear him in the hearts of the movie going Pinoy (Filipino) public for many years to come.

I was watching the tv the other night here in Dublin and I saw Quentin Tarantino being interviewed in an irish talk show wearing Barong Tagalog.

Di ba galing siya sa ‘pinas? Kitam? pati siya proud isuot ang national costume natin.

i dont want to comment about the so-called panlalait coz i havent read the press release yet. Maybe it wasnt done in bad taste. I don’t know. I still have to see the PR.

But I love wearing barongs. I’m comfortable wearing them. I have two pretty, pretty barongs in my closet. Hehehe.
