The Singer sewing machine owned by the Frondosa family is a treadle-operated model used for making garments and mending items. It was inherited by the family from Domingo Frondosa, and has been passed down through generations, remained in active use for several decades. It is a limited edition machine with the Singer’s centennial badge attached. The machine was used to create uniforms for workers at the Guimaras Bulk Sugar Installation and known to have even mended a hat for President Diosdado Macapagal during his visit. Although the machine is currently not in use and in a deteriorating condition, it holds sentimental and social value for the family.
