Kate Tiglao-Lagman pearl specialist and representative of Jewelmer
International said that they are honored to have been invited to set
up a permanent exhibit in the marine children’s museum.
Lagman revealed that Jewelmer International is both a pearl farmer
and an environmentalist. She said that it is the reason why Jewelmer
shares with the museum’s advocacy in the protecting the environment “for
after all we are interconnected”. She said this
environmental cause is both a choice and a calling for Jewelmer.

world, the Philippine South Sea pearls using a young oyster, a gold-lipped pinctada

rainbow of iridescence is a work of nature. “These beautiful
creations are what our company hold dear – a testament of what
truly is beautiful about the Philippines and the Filipinos.”

and urged everyone to wear a pearl as a show of support and pride to
the Philippine South Sea Pearl, our national gem.
