Much has been said about the recent calamities in the Visayas – the earthquakes and the super-typhoons – that have brought much devastation and tragedy to the region. Amid all these, the Filipino’s resilience and strength has amazed and inspired the world.

Rebuilding the people’s livelihood in the affected areas is one challenge, as these disasters leave many people jobless in the aftermath, and the need for more opportunities for entrepreneurship are needed.

Filipinos are known to be resilient. They always try to move forward even in very little ways.

That is why Kultura Filipino’s collection of items from Visayan communities is a window of hope to boost livelihood in the region. These gifts of hope also highlight the ability of Filipinos to brave all storms in life.
