00:00Good day Manila Times viewers, this is Dea Samulish Ahluwala, and I'm here today for

00:07the first time covering the red carpet of the President's Honor.

00:14This is a very exciting occasion of course, as this is also going to be a fashion event,

00:19at least for the people in government.

00:21Let's try to find out some more about what they're wearing, and of course, how they feel

00:26about the upcoming message of the President.

00:29Stay with me, and I'll take you around the House of Congress on this very, very important day.

00:40What are you wearing today, if you may ask?

00:43I'm just, I'm wearing Athil.

00:45Very nice, very nice.

00:47I'm so excited to be here.

00:50I know.

00:51What are we wearing today, to this beautiful couple?

00:54Yes, I'm wearing a Raho Laurel fashion.

00:57The text was given to me by my friends from Mindanao, and I decided to ship from Luzon

01:03to Mindanao attire.

01:04It's the first time, right?

01:06Yes.

01:07And of course, Senator…

01:08Marong, Tagalog, Paul Cabral.

01:10Paul Cabral, as always.

01:12And what are you looking forward to in the speech of the President today?

01:16Well, this is his report card.

01:18He will mention what he has accomplished and what he wants to do in the next three years

01:24of his administration.

01:25And I hope he can provide solutions to the problems that still exist today.

01:31Transportation issues, issues with education.

01:35And I hope he can provide a solution to our problem of the increase in the number of children.

01:41Yeah, exactly.

01:42You heard her.

01:43Yes.

01:44Senator, how is the knee?

01:45We just want to know.

01:46Well, after three months and 14 days, I can walk now.

01:51Yes.

01:52But I still need three more months to run and jump.

01:56And jump.

01:57And do all the action scenes and everything.

02:00But we're very happy to see that you've been able to, you know, go around.

02:04And of course, attend the Salat.

02:06Salamat sa lahat na mga naglasal.

02:07Of course.

02:08We will continue praying.

02:09Thank you.

02:10Thank you very much.

02:11You look wonderful as always.

02:13One of the best dressed.

02:14Who are you wearing today?

02:16Martin Garner.

02:17So, any explanation why the color of choice today is blue?

02:21Anything?

02:22Any special reason for the color?

02:25Well, actually, I think this is the color for this year.

02:28This is the color.

02:29Yes, that's true.

02:30But the design is an old design by Martin Garner, 1927.

02:34Old?

02:35Yes.

02:36So, what is Senator wearing?

02:37Is he also wearing something from Martin?

02:40He's wearing something from Silko Ku.

02:42Silko Ku.

02:43Yes.

02:44What are you both looking forward to in the speech of the son of the President today?

02:49We're looking forward to, of course, what the President has to say, the accomplishments,

02:54especially in the topics that are important to the people, like the economy, response

03:01to, I guess, the people's expectations on social welfare services for them, as well

03:10as...

03:11We were just talking about what you and your wife are wearing.

03:14Apparently, this is...

03:15Your barong today is from...

03:16Silko Ku.

03:17Silko Ku.

03:18And is it special for today?

03:19Have you worn it before?

03:20No, it's my first time to wear it.

03:23It's your first time.

03:24And it looks very comfortable.

03:25Yes, yes.

03:26It has like that work mode, but also, you know, a fashionable feel to it.

03:31Do you think there will be...

03:33You'll have a moment also today at the SONAC, which bills do you think the President will

03:41mention?

03:42Well, just recently, just the other day, we passed the Anti-Financial Scamming Act, which

03:46I think is a very important bill.

03:48I was the principal author of that, so I was very happy that it was signed the other day.

03:52So, malaki bagay yan dahil ang dami ng siscam ngayon, and we need to update our laws to

03:57address that.

03:58Well, that's wonderful.

03:59So, we look forward to his speech there, of course, seeing you in the gallery as well,

04:03everyone.

04:04Very good to see you.

04:05Thank you.

04:06Thank you very much.

04:07We just wanted to know very quickly if you can tell us about your piece.

04:10So, this is a piece made by Dennis Lustico, and he's a Filipino designer.

04:15I absolutely love him.

04:16I think he's so creative.

04:18And we used natural fibers from pina, but also we wanted it to be a little bit kind

04:24of fun.

04:26And any reason why we chose the color green?

04:29Actually, he's the one who chose the color green, and so I just went with it.

04:32And it's very fresh, and very good for daytime.

04:35Yeah, why not?

04:36You look wonderful as always.

04:38You both look so wonderful as usual.

04:41So, who are we wearing today?

04:43Paul, of course.

04:44Paul, of course.

04:45Yes, yes.

04:46And what are you expecting from the President's message later on?

04:51Well, all of his programs are directed towards our new Philippines.

04:56And we at the 19th Congress support all of his programs and the direction that we want

05:03to take.

05:05So, this is made from pina fabric with calyada design and beadwork to showcase the rice.

05:14Because we know that we have a rice problem.

05:17What's your favorite thing about it?

05:20The use of pina.

05:21We know that pina now is part of the UNESCO World Heritage.

05:25So, we are promoting this one.

05:28Why is fashion school in the Philippines so important?

05:32You know, fashion is an industry, right?

05:35So, for example, this fabric.

05:37The farmers, you know, the ones who bring their crops.

05:41They are the ones who harvest.

05:43Then, another group, they are the ones who harvest.

05:46Then, there's the one who sows.

05:47So, it's an industry.

05:49It's a sustainable type of industry.

05:53And then, grass roots are the ones who reach.

05:57Of course, you've had such an interesting history in Besona.

06:00You know what I mean?

06:01Yes.

06:02Every year has been such a winner.

06:03Yes.

06:04And this is your last one.

06:05Yes.

06:06For now.

06:07And you've chosen, you know, to wear this.

06:09Usually, we are colored, right?

06:11But this time, you've chosen this wide, low-key color.

06:16Well, right?

06:17Because Pina, in its natural state, is very beautiful, right?

06:21So, that's why when you were discussing my outfit with Ran,

06:26we wanted to go back to the basics.

06:29Yes, that's true.

06:30And year after year, after that time here,

06:34you've all forgotten already.

06:35Yes.

06:36You've been a winner every year.

06:37Thank you.

06:38Really.

06:39And how does it feel walking each time in Besona

06:41wearing something that you know people are wearing?

06:44It's been a fun journey.

06:48You know, for a while, the expectation,

06:53the way they wait for the president's speech,

06:56the way they wait for my outfit.

06:59Just means you're a star.

07:01Wonderful.

07:02You look amazing.

07:03Thank you.

07:04Top, top marks.

07:05Thank you.

07:06What are you wearing today?

07:07So, I'm wearing a Rens Reyes today, a very new designer.

07:11So, I'm helping him out in his career by wearing his outfit today.

07:15And it's still very simple, you know, no structure.

07:18But still, you know, still simple and all that.

07:21So, what are you expecting to do in Besona?

07:24What do you hope that he will do?

07:26You know, the president is the very first president

07:28that ever spoke about climate.

07:30That's why.

07:31And I'm an advocate for climate.

07:33So, I'm hoping that more concrete plans that he will present

07:37for the next coming months and years.

07:39So, that's my first advocacy.

07:42So, hopefully, he'll be able to tackle that.

07:44So, what is your outfit today?

07:46Is there a shirt inside?

07:48Is there an important print?

07:50This is Barong Tagalog.

07:52This is Barong Kasaysayan.

07:54This is our project.

07:56It's been four years already.

07:58We've been showing stories of what's happening in the Philippines.

08:01This is freedom.

08:02This is the jarion of the government.

08:04Okay.

08:05Okay.

08:06So, this is an actual print from the jarion.

08:09Yes, ma'am.

08:10This is a project of one of our professors.

08:12Yes, wonderful.

08:13So, Robin, because since you won,

08:15we haven't been able to interview you

08:17although we've been wanting to do this for a long time.

08:19I just noticed, you know,

08:21you've underdrafted.

08:22You look beautiful in Sinaloa.

08:24You know, you dyed your hair.

08:28You know, you have long hair.

08:31Is that intentional on your part?

08:33No, ma'am.

08:34It's just that there's a chance that I'm doing a movie

08:37that I need to finish.

08:38So, you'll continue?

08:39Because, you know,

08:40as a candidate,

08:41I don't have a plan.

08:42Right?

08:43I'm just planning.

08:44If I'm doing a movie,

08:45I'll pay for it.

08:46I need to finish it.

08:49You know, you've always had this wonderful fashion sense.

08:51And true enough,

08:52you're wearing such a wonderful piece today.

08:54Where is it?

08:55Who designed it?

08:56Mr. George O'Neal.

08:57Okay.

08:58He has been designing all of my Filipinianas

09:00and all of my gowns for the longest time.

09:03And always, you know,

09:04I mean, your sense of style

09:06isn't just always the traditional.

09:07There's always, you know,

09:08a certain touch to it.

09:09Is that your style?

09:10Did you tell your designer

09:11that I kind of want a little bit of an oomph to it?

09:15Of course, of course.

09:16Something really simple, clean lines,

09:19but something with a little glow on it.

09:22Yes, of course.

09:23And you have to have a figure for it,

09:25which is perfect.

09:26Thank you, thank you.

09:27I mean, anything you put on her.

09:29Of course.

09:30We're so happy to always see

09:31people from Showbiz on the red carpet,

09:33but of course, as Vice Mayor of Manila.

09:35What are you wearing today?

09:36Chorubyo.

09:37Chorubyo.

09:38And is it a little Muslim?

09:40No, it's not.

09:42It's from Baguio.

09:44It's from Baguio.

09:45Oh, yes, our weavers there.

09:47It's a great barong.

09:48Nice to see you again.

09:49Thank you.

09:50Thank you.

09:51You both look striking on the red carpet.

09:52What are we wearing for today?

09:54I'm wearing Martin Tuazo.

09:56I'm styled by Abby Paulino.

09:59And you?

10:00Local designer.

10:07How long did it take you to dress up for today?

10:11An hour and a half.

10:13Yes, nothing much to do.

10:16I was carrying it, so it's a perfect look.

10:19Thank you, ma'am.

10:20It's wonderful to see you in the gallery.

10:22Thank you, ma'am.

10:23What is our look today?

10:25This is the essence of modern Maria Clara.

10:30It's very elegant and easy to wear.

10:34Yes, and of course, your trademark colors.

10:36Color and red, and your background with gray.

10:40Focusing on peace and justice.

10:44And good health for the people.

10:46Does a modern Filipina need to stop?

10:49Not really.

10:50Not really?

10:51It's okay?

10:52It's already in your heart?

10:53Yes, it is.

10:54It's great to see you, ma'am.

10:56What are you wearing today?

10:58Michael Dave.

11:01What are you over?

11:03Louis Vuitton.

11:06Louis Vuitton? Jet, huh?

11:08I didn't know that.

11:09I didn't know that.

11:10I didn't know that.

11:11But only Jet?

11:12Yes, only Jet.

11:13Okay, what are you expecting from the sauna today?

11:16Well, to be honest, I'm very excited because

11:20Kuya Chase is the Senate President.

11:24So I'm very excited to see him in front.

11:26He said that usually he's just an audience,

11:29but for the first time, he's in front.

11:32But you know, as usual, I'm excited to hear all the accomplishments.

11:36Of course, the Congress and Senate have a lot of accomplishments

11:39for the past year and their future plans.

11:42Usually, you mix and match.

11:45But is this just a one piece?

11:47Ah, this is a top, and a pinuelo, and a skirt.

11:51But the pinia cloth is from a collection from decades ago in Paol.

11:57And I took out my pinia collection.

11:59I gave it to Pui, who creatively designed.

12:02He put together all of this.

12:04You know, Pui was a poster boy in Samar when I first ran in 98.

12:10He's now a well-known designer.

12:12I'm so proud.

12:13And as always, you look wonderful.

12:15Thank you, Tessa.

12:16There you have all of the exciting looks.

12:19And, of course, a little bit of the chit-chat from the red carpet

12:22at President Marcos III's inauguration here at the House of Congress.

12:26I hope you enjoyed your time here with me.

12:28This is Tessa Bolshoy.

12:29We will see you next time.
