“La Filigrina” Inspired from the Philippine craft and jewelry, the gown is crafted with sunset ombre “Solihiya” inspired fabric, adorned with “Gold Tambourine” swags and medallion. This is a testament of the ever-relevant challenge for all of us to look beyond 'political' colors. Rather, be inspired by our forefathers' courage and bravery which ensue that the light of the sun will always shine bright bringing hope for our beloved country. We all need to work hand in hand; together, to make our country truly a 'bayang magiliw'. #SONA2019 #philippines #filipiniana #sona #filigree #sunset #habi #tambourine #solihiya

Ayon kay Tumang, ang gown ay sumasagisag ng katapangan at nagbibigay pag-asa para sa bansa. Mayroon itong sunset ombre na “Solihiya” na fabric at “Gold Tambourine” swags at medalyon.

“We all need to work hand in hand; together, to make our country truly a ‘bayang magiliw’,” pahayag ni Tumang.

Paliwanag naman ni Imee, gusto niyang tapusin ang pakikipagtalo sa pulitika tungkol sa dilawan at pamilyang Marcos na pula.

“‘Di ninyo napansin ‘yung color ko? I’m wearing yellow for a change,”pahayag ni Imee sa mga reporter sa kaniyang suot na yellow and red ombré dress.

“Dilawan ako ngayon,” dagdag ni Imee. Ito ang representasyon ng kulay ng Liberal Party, pulitikal ‘oposisyon’ ng mga Marcos.

“Sawang-sawa na ako sa bangayan ng dilaw at pula sa pulitika,” aniya. Sinabi niya ring tapos na ang eleksyon kaya mag-‘move forward’ na lamang.

Samantala, pinag-usapan naman ng mga netizen ang gown ni Imee. Ani ng netizens, sumisimbolo ito ng dugo ng mga pinaslang noong panahon ng mga Marcos at ginto na ninakaw mula sa bayan.

I want Mak Tumang to explain his interpretation for the design of this gown. Something about gold being dipped in red screams some major shade to be damn honest. https://t.co/hOzcCRTwqw

This is just my speculation, but I really wish the gown's design was a subtle diss to the Marcoses for living in wealth despite having blood on their hands. Kinda doubt this was what Mak Tumang had in mind, but if it is, then that's gonna be such a GAG.

“Gold dipped in red”
– according to the urban dictionary, this is an expression for Blood money. Or riches that may come from a dirty source. Applause for the shade Sir Mark Tumang👏🙌

The color gold represents the wealth they stole from Filipinos and the color red is the blood shed during marcos's regime.
