The Story Behind the Barong 
The Barong Tagalog that the Filipinos of today wear on formal and dressy occasions started out as attire to mark inferior status. When the early people of early Philippines settled in colonial in colonial society, they were subjected to numerous affronts to their dignity and sensibilities by their colonial masters... When the Spaniards colonized  the Filipinos, they had to make it abundantly clear who was (in control) through the imposition of a dress code. Men were not allowed to tuck their shirttails in . That was the mark of his inferior status. Second, the cloth material should be transparent so that he could not conceal any weapon that could be used against the masters . Third, was a precaution on thievery, pockets are not allowed on the shirt.
By the turn of the century a new middle class began to merge among the Filipinos. These were known as the principalia. They mastered Spanish laws and were able to obtain title to lands. They became successful in business and agriculture and ...they were allowed to vote. They had all the trappings of power and status, but for one undeniable fact: they still had to wear their shirtails out, if only to remind them that they were still Indios (natives)
What the Spanish authorities did not smother was the Filipino's...determination to psychology conquer their colonial masters through improvisation and reinterpretation.. For example, Filipinos wear forbidden to use imported silk and fabrics for their Barong, so they delicate material, of luminous silky rich mixture much finer than silk ..(additionally) they hand-embroidered the front with exquisite abandon.
The Barong Tagalog  gained its power, prestige, and status when President Quezon, the first Filipino President
declared it the National dress. The status of the lowly inferior Barong thus became another symbol of Filipinos" resistance to colonization.
In contemporary times the Barong Tagalog is the power dress... every visitor and foreign dignitary invited to a Malacanang Palace state function must, by necessity, invitations specifically say come in "Barong".

The Barong thus evolved from the mark of native inferiority, then to a peaceful symbol of rebellion and lastly, to a token of our independence from our colonial sovereign.
