| Binibini 19 from Balagtas, Bulacan Kimberly Anne Tiquestiques Dubbed as the “Queen of Philippine Festivals”, Flores de Maria or Flores de Mayo is believed to be first observed in 1865 in Bulacan when Fr. Mariano Sevilla wrote the “Dalit kay Maria.” Embellished with thousand flowers and crystal stones that epitomize the gigantic jewelry industry of Meycauayan and highlighted by the magnanimous “kinayas na kawayan of the Singkaban Fiesta”, this bamboo artwork is a traditional form of architecture that is now being used as a welcoming arch in festivities all over the Philippine archipelago. Most importantly, the Singkaban arch serves as an iconic emblem of Bulacan’s history, arts, culture and tourism that massively speak about the Bulakenyo’s widely known culture of generosity and hospitality. #IAmBinibini Designer: Marvin Garcia Photography: Raymond Saldaña |

"Colibangbang" This national costume was inspired by a 1900's photo of a Gaddang woman. Showcasing the vibrant and wealthy tradition of the Gaddang tribe when it comes to clothing. The headpiece was fused and inspired by one of the Cordilleran tribes, the Isnag. To promote patriotism and support the craftsmanship and intricacy of Cordillerians with their indigenous fabrics, the designer used Blue, Red and Yellow shades that can also be seen in the Philippine Flag. The fabric meticulously weaved in the Mountain Province and has a design of "Colibangbang" a term coined in Northern Luzon which means Butterfly.
