What you didn’t know about the ‘terno’– and no, it wasn’t
Ramon Valera who
invented it
By: Cheche V. Moral November 04, 2015
‘It’s not the ‘terno’ but the kind of ‘terno,’ declares Mark Higgins, who, with
Gino Gonzales, authors a ‘photographic resource book’ published by Bench
FAST FACTS: Who invented the Philippine terno?
January 27, 2017
While former First Lady Imelda Marcos popularized the terno, it has long been
worn by Filipino women and evolved from earlier traditional Filipino dresses.
“No one person invented it. It was a collective effort. The removal of the
pañuelo (pañuelo: a square cloth folded triangularly and worn in the Philippines
like a great ruffle or collar), which is usually attributed to Valera, happened
way, way before [he removed it]. Women have been trying to remove it way
before,"
Gonzales said in a 2015 interview. Look 3 articles about
terno in one pdf

THE PHILIPPINES NATIONAL COSTUME
This is the traditional clothing of the filipino, its one of the
unique feminine and simply beautiful national costume in Asia.
Actually this is originally called as barot saya and because it is a philippine
costume it was coined filipiniana. This dress is no where to be found because it
can only be seen in the Philippines.
This filipiniana has different kinds - from the baro at saya, then evolved to
María Clara, where the panuelo on the neck was added, then this María Clara
evolved to traje de mestiza, where the half filipino half Spanish, simply called
mestiza are the one whose commonly wearing it. This traje de mestiza has a
featured of butterfly sleeves but remained its panuelo on the neck (look at the
V-shape), then it evolved as terno the modern filipino dress where the panuelo
was removed but maintained its butterfly sleeves. Now it can be seen with
different kind of designs!
The traditional attire of the Philippines

I notice that there are clips of other countries national attire and I've seen
none from Philippines so why not make one. I made this so that others can
appreciate the beauty of these dresses.
PHILIPPINES NATIONAL COSTUME! FILIPINIANA VARIATION!
THIS IS HOW THE PHILIPPINE NATIONAL COSTUME FILIPINIANA (BAROT SAYA) VARIED!
some people says that we are not asians because of how we dress. We are asian
but we are westernized people because the Philippines was colonized by Spain for
300 years, that is why we inherited their culture and traditions
even our religion and also our facial features.

Fans are called "paypay",
"pamaypay", "abaniko (abanico)" in the Philippines
The abaniko, together with
the baro't saya, was once a part of a lady's attire. Read about the
various ways of using and holding the abaniko may convey different
meanings.
--
Si la mujer escondía los
ojos detrás del abanico, estaba diciendo a su interlocutor que lo
quería.
If the woman hid her eyes
behind the fan, she was saying to her would-be suitor that she loved
him.
Si colocaba el abanico
sobre la mejilla izquierda, la respuesta era: No; y si lo posaba sobre
la derecha, la respuesta era: Sí.
If she placed the fan on her
left cheek, the answer was: No; and if she placed it on the right cheek
the answer was: Yes.
Si la mujer se abanicaba
con rapidez, significaba que estaba comprometida; y si lo hacía
lentamente, le transmitía que estaba casada.
If the woman fanned herself
quickly it meant that she was engaged; and if she fanned herself
languidly, she indicated that she was married.

commonly called the Fiesta Pilar. This fiesta celebrates Zamboanga
City's Patron, Nuestra Señora del Pilar (Our Lady of Pilar). This

KAMAHARDIKAAN SIN TAWI-TAWI - Agal-Agal Festival also known as
Seaweeds Festival The industry of Agal-Agal gave birth to
Agal-Agal (Seaweeds) Festival in Tawi-Tawi. It highlights the annual
celebration of the province's "Kamahardikaan." Celebrated every
September 25, these festivities were unique because of the inclusion of
seaweeds as materials for costumes and props. Agal-Agal seedlings were
displayed while food products made with seaweeds like leche flan were a
hit. Add to this a Knotting contest that used agal-agal as props
highlighting the prominence of seaweeds as a major source of livelihood
in the province. Seaweeds are "pot of gold at the end of a rainbow" for
the locals.

Obando Fertility Festival - Ritual - Music and Dance
of Bulacan Every year in Obando, Bulacan,
many Filipino childless couples seek the intercession of patron saints
San Pascual Baylon and Santa Clara for a child to be born. This is part
of their town fiesta which is held from May 17 to 19. This tradition
dates back before the Spanish colonization of our country which lasted
over 3 hundred years. Of course, when the Spaniards came, the folk
practice intermixed with the religious practice. Filipinos these days,
especially those wanting a child, usually wear the attire worn during
the Spanish times and dance the pandango in the streets as part of the
ritual. Look

Father's Day is not an official holiday, but it is widely observed
on the 3rd Sunday of June. Most Filipinos born in the 1960s and 1970s
did not celebrate Father's day, but Filipinos now follow this tradition
and other American holidays, most likely due to the influence of the
United States through television and the internet.
In the Roman Catholic tradition, Fathers are celebrated on Saint
Joseph's Day, commonly called Feast of Saint Joseph, March 19, though in
certain countries Father's Day has become a secular celebration. It is
also common for Catholics to honor their "spiritual father," their
parish priest, on Father's Day.

Sungka - A traditional filipino game
Sungka is a Philippine mancala game which is
today also played wherever Philippine migrants
are living; e.g. in Taiwan, Germany, and the
USA. Like the closely related congkak it is
traditionally a women's game. Sungka was first
described outside of Asia in 1894 by the
American ethnologist Stewart Culin. Although the
sungka rules are not much different from those
of congkak, sungka is perceived as a genuinely
Philippine game by native players.
