According To:Marcelius Angelo Brusset-Romualdez y Formica Zapata

I think the Filipino people should bring back their identity, a distinct identity lost by 333 years of colonial Spain, more than 4 decades of Japanese and American occupation and wiped out by modernization and globalization. Our identity as Filipinos were lost. if you come to think of it, the Barong Tagalog isn't even Filipino, its more on Spanish influence same with Baro't Saya. but if you go back further in time before 1521 where our katutubos dominate the lands dressed in what we call "genuine filipino article"
