Romeo said that this event provided an extraordinary experience for him.
“Processing in the East Java realm is not easy, we meet with colleagues from other cities and districts to fight to become the chosen ambassadors by bringing our advocacy to be poured out in East Java of course to preserve wastra itself. It was such a long process and it became an extraordinary personal experience,” said Romeo.
Romeo also added a message to all students to never hesitate to continue to move forward and develop.
“Never hesitate to be one step ahead of where you are now, because there are many places waiting for you to develop out there,” he added.

Examples of famous wastra include batik, woven, and songket cloth. Each type of wastra carries a deep story and philosophy, reflecting the diverse and rich cultural identity of Indonesia.
