The book would be on Philippine ancestral weave, principally because Filipinos have to have a hand in studying, articulating, preserving and understanding will lead. This book is simultaneously about things and people - what I believe to be beautiful human beings and some of the fascinating objects they created and their place in a world that values cultural pluralism.
