PMB Figures Visit Jiwa Jawa Bromo: The Cultural Inspiration of Sigit Pramono

A warm atmosphere enveloped the Jiwa Jawa Bromo area as the General Chairperson of the Towards Self-Reliance Movement (PMB), Dr. (H.C) Heppy Trenggono, M. Kom, along with the Central PMB Board, Lt. Gen. Mar (Ret.) Suhartono, paid a special visit. Their arrival was welcomed directly by the host, Sigit Pramono, an entrepreneur and public figure from Batang known for his steadfast dedication to cultural preservation.

For Mr. Sigit Pramono, creating a grand masterpiece such as a resort must never leave behind traditional roots. At Jiwa Jawa, he demonstrates that business and the preservation of national identity can walk hand in hand in harmony.

This visit was more than a formal meeting; it was an exploration of values. The PMB board members were invited to explore various facilities crafted with profound dedication—ranging from the art gallery and photography academy to the batik museum. Every corner of these spaces is designed as a vessel for cultural expression that revives a love for one’s homeland.

“I feel as though I have received a short lecture on extraordinary persistence, patience, and a sense of art. Jiwa Jawa is not merely a resort, but a home of values and soul,” remarked Lt. Gen. Mar (Ret.) Suhartono, sharing his profound impression of the visit.

The General Chairperson of PMB, Dr. Heppy Trenggono, expressed high appreciation for the “Ruwat-Citra” concept initiated by Sigit Pramono. This idea is seen as a key to elevating regional potential, particularly in Batang Regency, to gain broader recognition on both national and international stages.

It is greatly hoped that the spirit of preservation shown by Mr. Sigit will inspire the younger generation to look back at their noble heritage. One of the primary focuses is safeguarding the existence of Batik Rifaiyah, a masterpiece from Batang that has become a world heritage.

This gathering of PMB figures at Jiwa Jawa underscores one important message: that the progress of a nation begins with its people’s ability to appreciate and revive their own soul. Thank you for the inspiration, Mr. Sigit Pramono. May this spirit continue to flow and enliven the culture of the archipelago.
