Every Christmas, one of our traditions is to pay homage to the tradition of giving and celebrating with our family and friends. In the world of social media, everyone enthusiastically demonstrates their joy by posting greetings and pictures of their celebrations. It’s an opportunity for us to show our love for each other and the happiness that Christmas brings.
However, something unique caught my attention in the polo that Erwan Heussaff, the husband of Anne Curtis, wore this past Christmas. Instead of the usual national attire or luxurious and shiny clothes typically worn on special occasions, I noticed Erwan’s thoughtful choice of polo with a traditional Filipino blanket design.
The polo’s design depicts the popular blanket often seen in markets or stalls in favorite shopping places like Divisoria and Baclaran. It’s a well-known symbol of being a practical and responsible consumer. Rather than following trends or choosing expensive clothing, Erwan showed his appreciation for Filipino culture and love for simple things.
It’s not just a simple choice of a traditional design; it’s like an embrace of Erwan with his culture and heritage. Despite Erwan being known as a half-French Filipino, his polo exudes the spirit of being Pinoy. It demonstrates that even though he is far from our homeland, his love and respect for his Filipino heritage remain.
In summary, Erwan Heussaff’s choice of wearing a polo with the design of a traditional Filipino blanket is not just a Christmas outfit; it’s an expression of identity and love for his own culture. It’s a demonstration of openness to the importance of our traditions and how they give meaning to our hearts, especially during the Christmas season.
