DIRECTOR Quentin Tarantino must like the barong given to him on his recent visit to the Philippines
.
The innovative filmmaker wore the barong at the premiere of his film, "Death Pr
oof," in Dublin, Ireland. He paired the Philippines' national shirt with black
and white athletic pants, the unusual combo he came up with when he received th
e Lifetime Achievement Award of the Cinemanila Film Festival from President Glo
ria Macapagal-Arroyo in Malacañang, as shown in this file photo.
Quentin's pants were drenched when he was forced to ditch his flood-struck limo
and ride a pedicab to Malacañang amid heavy rain. So he had to change into at
hletic pants before receiving the award from GMA.
The ensemble must be comfortable -- and he must have enjoyed his stay in the Ph
ilippines so much (he is a walking encyclopedia of the films of such Pinoy dire
ctors as Cirio H. Santiago and Eddie Romero) that he decided to bring a touch o
f Pinas all the way to Ireland.

i always like quentin's work. his selections of movie soundtracks are so cool (
pulp fic, kill bill).but wearing our national dress outside PI? he's the cooles
t dude!!
maybe Quentin should also consider using Filipino martial arts in his future mo
vies, not just the Japanese-inspired one :)
bakit proud si QT na suotin ang Barong Tagalog sa ibang bansa gayong di niya na
man yun pambansang kasuotan, pero ang mga pinoy najadyaheng suotin ang Barong T
agalog sa national and/or international events? isn't that a bit ironic?
barong tagalog like the latin "guayabera" is a popular formal wear. i wore my B
.T. at my friends wedding in mexico. i have seen many filipinos wear their bar
ongs proudly in upscale ocean cruises around the world. it is a great summer f
ormal wear. MABUHAY !!!
Have you seen Quintin Tarantino's Hostel series films?
buti p si quentin, ginanahang suotin ang B.T., yung nga senador at congressmen
natin, panay de amerikana. akala nila bagay sa kanila.
lalo tuloy silang nagmumukhang baboy dahil halos wala nang leeg. bakit hindi ni
la gayahin si erap, i always see him in Barong Tagalog.
TheBarong Tagalog is the best formal
attire to wear all over the world especially
during summer days. I don't blame T.Q.
if he wears it in Ireland because that part
of the world has a summer time also.
im a cebuano working in dublin and i always watch the six o'clock RTE Irish new
s. It took me time to realize when I saw him in the telly that he was wearing a
BT. I felt so proud about it. I knew that he was in Manila previously.
suddenly i'm now a fan of QT,will go to quiapo one of these days to find pirate
d dvd movies directed by him,
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 Devel
opment Council of the Philippines vice-Chair Christine Dayrit. The Director was
presented the 24 hour executed, custom-made barong for his courtesy call to th
e Philippine President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.
The novel sartorial appearance generated equivocal comments. The LA crowd, seei
ng the "Barong" for the first time, thought the director looked too casual in h
is "tie-less" get-up. While Pinoys world-wide applauded Quentin for giving thei
r native dress international exposure.
According to www.tesoros.ph Qu
entin 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 Develo
pment 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 baron
g 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 go
ing Pinoy (Filipino) public for many years to come.
Thanks to the muslims you have the barong
