Imagine bringing back authentic silhouettes of costume for sinulog, this actually has more importance and significance of Sinulog origins.

As Bisaya-Cebuano, reviving traditional clothing educates the population about our forgotten clothing traditions that is erased by colonial conformities and creative-freedom deviances, promoting confusion and commodification.

We are not saying that today's costumes are abominations and creative-freedom is a curse in these dilemmas, but in all grounds for cultural preservation of traditional clothing shouldn't be something for formal events or academic inquiry it should be revived in the consciousness of it own people, to erase ignorance and ethnic-stigma.

We are proud to be Bisaya and we should realize this vital wisdom of a being a Bisaya.

Karakoa Productions is giving all its best to promote and revival precolonial and indigenous wisdom back to our consciouness and appreciate the legacies and celebrate out heritage.

Daghang salamat.

This out is inspired from Hindu-Buddhist fashion in the early centuries of Visayan history. Radya Kiling of Butuan was a monarch ruling over a small port city recorded as Pu-Tu'an (Butuan) according to the annals of Song Shih ans Sung Hui Yao Kao circa. 1004-1007 C.E.
