'Pasalubong' picks from Kultura Souvenirs

MANILA, Philippines - As Filipinos, the pasalubong practice is part of our cultural tradition. With our hospitable nature, our closely knit ties with family and friends, as well as our innate love for discovering new things, it is innate in our nature to bring home something from our trips that we can share with loved ones.

Keeping this tradition in mind, Kultura Souvenirs is a one-stop pasalubong destination that will give tourists, balikbayans, and lovers of all things Filipino something to bring home.

There are souvenir tees that capture the most iconic Philippine sights and symbols  like the jeepney in modern designs and colors.  There are also Manila reversible totes, pouches, wristlets, and wristwatches that are both stylish and functional.

Capiz trays, gold tabletop decor, and bath sets made from virgin coconut products are great as gifts and pasalubong.  Art lovers will enjoy ceramic mugs featuring the works of artists Dante Hipolito, Joseph Bañez, Noel Mahilum, and Oscar Salita.

Food is also an important part of our heritage, and Kultura Filipino’s selection of food and wines make delightful gifts.  There are gourmet versions of local delicacies like tuyo and tinapa, as well Philippine wines like the lambanog or coconut distilled wine from Quezon in native inspired packages.  The Trappist Monks of Guimaras also have special products made from the island’s famous mangoes  bars and biscocho, jams and marmalades, and other delicacies.

Kultura Souvenirs is a spinoff of the popular Kultura Filipino, which brings the best of the country’s different regions all in one store.  Its stores are located at the SM Mall of Asia, the Annex at SM City Fairview, and the Annex at SM City North EDSA.
