- noun
- poliéster

EN Seeing that ethnic wear was a part of Philippine identity that was dying out as the result of an invasion of polyester and cotton goods based on Western design, Tesoro set out to save one humble piece of heritage: piña, a hand-woven fibre derived from the pineapple leaf, the mainstay of the traditional ethnic dress called the barong.
GL Consciente de que a vestimenta tradicional estaba desaparecendo baixo unha invasión de pezas de poliéster e algodón de deseño occidental, Tesoro decidiu salvar un dos modestos compoñentes da identidade filipina: a "piña", fibra da folla de ananás, que se tece á man e coa que se confecciona o traxe tradicional chamado barong, unha camisa ampla de mangas longas.
