They come from the hinterlands of Tagaytay
Working tirelessly with hands
Spinning flax in and out of linens
Guided by needle-pulling-threads
Within the domain of the bastador
A visiting Filipina wanted to buy her painting
With a measely few pesos....
But refused to pay for the shipping cost
Either by land or post office
So after several negotiations dropped her
Like a hot potato....
So I kept it as a collection,
For all the world to admire
With embroidered products like linens
Barongs and Kimonas for men and women
