Lifestyle show “Metro Home” takes viewers out of the country for the first time into the heart of the Philippine Pavilion, a rattan-clad pavilion that brings an immersive journey to woven artworks and AI-powered fiesta, in its upcoming special episode, premiering on Metro Channel this July 19 (Saturday), 8:30pm.
“Metro Home” host Anton Barretto meets the pavilion creator Carlos Calma, a Filipino visual artist and architect who aims to champion Filipino culture and craftsmanship. The pavilion titled “Woven,” featured in the 2025 World Expo in Osaka, Japan, showcases more than 200 handwoven textiles made by local artisans.
Carlos shared that it took eight months to handcraft each textile made of sustainable raw materials. It represents the 18 regions of the country, reflecting the rich history and tradition of the Philippines.
Moreover, an interactive AI-fiesta can be found in the pavilion along with a photobooth, gift shop, cafe, and massage place.
One of Metro Channel’s locally produced lifestyle programs, “Metro Home” features beautiful abodes and unique structures to inspire design concepts and ideas to viewers. In its last episode, Jessica Kienle Maxwell joined Anton in their flavorful adventure at the Spanish roasting house Asador Alfonso.
