VOAhead of Philippine Independence Day, a celebration of national dress in the fluorescent lit space of Museo del Galéon; “#TernoCon2025: Kasarinlan, Kultura, Kasuotan” staged the collections of designers Jaggy Glarino, Jojie Lloren, and Cary Santiago, representing their regions Mindanao, Luzon, and Visayas respectively.
For his collection “Lemlunay,” Jaggy Glarino (@jaggyglarino) was inspired by “childhood memories of Mindanao and its vast cultural treasures,” presenting draped skirts constructed entirely of Tboli beadwork, and vests and belts lined brass bells that swayed with its wearer’s movements.
Jesus “Jojie” Lloren’s (@jojie_lloren) presentation began with a lullaby; the wistful hum of “Ili-Ili Tulog Anay” opened for a slew of looks inspired by his mother. Tailored butterfly sleeves topped draped and pleated skirts, often bustled at the back.
Cary Santiago (@carysantiago7) presented popular Philippine iconography across a palette of yellow, red, white, and blue. There were references to jeepneys, sampaguita, the anahaw leaf, and the Catholic imagination, bookended by @michelledee, quill in hand, wearing a diaphanous layer of fabric scribbled on with the lyrics of the national anthem.
