SONA 2013 Fashion-ism

While I do share Senator Miriam's sentiments on who should get the limelight on SONA, part of the reason why I watch it is to see how our officials & their family wore our Filipiniana.   

Sa totoo lang, I'm fascinated with our traditional costume.  And I deeply appreciate when it is given breathing room to grow and showed-off to the world.  One way to be proud of being a Filipino, right?  Maganda talaga sya!  Yun lang, nahahaluan ng politika.
