Thank you for pointing out this detail! We understand that the phrasing on the mantones de Manila can be misleading. For our viewers’ information, these embroidered shawls called “mantones de Manila” were produced in China and brought to Manila for shipping to the New World and Europe. :)
Why do you constantly portray the locals, naked when the 16th century boxer codex clearly shows that the Bisaya and the Tagalogs who make up the majority of the peoples in the Philippine islands were NOT naked and were in fact wearing different layers of clothing. This Ayala Museum seems to have a pro colonialist tint to it, maybe even a white savior complex.
This was very interesting
It’s good ! But wish the “mantones de manila” be identified as a product of China.
