peeled off his blazer and tried on the Barong Tagalog gifted to him by Consul General Elmer G. Cato, to the delight of all those present.<\/p><p>This is the first time that Mayor Eric Adams engaged directly with the Filipino-American Community and the Consulate General of the Philippines in New York, ever since he assumed his office on 01 January 2022. This is also the first time a New York City Mayor donned a Barong Tagalog in public.<\/p><p>\u201cI was telling the Consul General I wanted the Barong,\u201d Mayor Eric Adams said, as soon as he reached the podium to deliver his message. \u201cI want to wear that when I am in office.\u201d<\/p><p>The Barong Tagalog is a long-sleeved embroidered shirt, usually made of pi\u00f1a (pineapple leaf fiber), and worn by Filipino men during formal occasions.<\/p><p>As a gateway to the country, New York City has historically been welcoming to immigrants. As a symbol of this immigration policy, the administration of Mayor Adams intends to make the flag raising ceremony an annual event.
