Googling Filipino Design

The problem with looking for Filipino Design resources is that you have to be very specific. Filipino design not only encompasses the graphic arts, you also have architecture, furniture, fashion and a whole gamut of things with a jeepney, a fiesta, the national tricolor, lucky red or anything with people power yellow. Despite what you think, it's design. Design is art with a purpose.

I've been googling for content and emailing contacts who I've met over the years. I've already made a lineup of what I want to write. Just wait, this will be fun.
