Among the exhibited items are a few pasikings with a modern twist. They were made from plastic materials, not from the usual bamboo and rattan materials.
These plastic pasikings will surely raise some eyebrows, especially among purists. That's good. Because it encourages people to discuss these instances of modern sensibilities clashing with material heritage.
I've posted about these plastic pasikings before because these same backpacks were previously exhibited at the Museo Kordilyera at the University of the Philippines Baguio and then at the Baguio Museum.
A common comment from some readers is that these should not be called pasiking because they are not made of bamboo and rattan. Some agree with the argument. Some don't.
