Filipiniana

The cloth is made out of
pineapple leaf fiber
or piña fabric.

I, along with my daughter and other international students joined the celebration for our university's 92nd founding anniversary and then represented our respective countries. My daughter and Filipino friend wore our local traditional Kaamulan costumes while I wore a Filipiniana dress.

Me and my 9-year old daughter, on her traditional  Bukidnon attire. I made her costume by the way yay! Check it out here  :)

Joined by Cyd from Philippines wearing a Bukidnon dress (left), with Romanian friend (hmm not on her traditional get-up), and  from Honduras on her beautiful red Flamenco (right).

Joined by more friends from Japan and Nepal. 

Africa and USA (and he insisted he's wearing a traditional get-up, hmmm).

More from Asia, Europe, Africa, Central America.

With ladies from India. 

and more (daughter hid herself with our flag..)

 "Praying for Thailand", with Thai and Japanese students.

Overall, we had fun showing off our colorful and unique traditional costumes especially during the parade. Such activity gave us the opportunity to bond with other international students, who on ordinary days are invisible while immersed on their own busy academic worlds. That day, Thailand was in our thoughts and almost everybody donated for the flood-affected country.
