We have heard your eagerness regarding our Day One theme. We offer this post in hopes that it may give discernment and enlightenment to the weary minds of our travelers.

As we all know, the Philippines is home to different ethnolinguistic groups with their own distinctive clothing traditions. While we actively encourage the celebration of the diversity of Filipino culture, a single guideline that sufficiently covers the scope of these cultural nuances is, at the moment, beyond our purview.

Thus, if it be your desire to adhere to our theme but are unsure where to begin, the Queen offers this gentle guidance: Embark on an intimate journey to seek the wise elders of your family on the rich, storied history of your ancestry. In time, said stories shall be yours to share with the people across the realm.

The path may be yours to undertake but know it will unveil the answers to the questions you seek. May the light of the past illuminate your path forward.

Ultimately, would it not be nice to have a glimpse of what the 15th century Philippines would look like through the garments we wear? That being said, while we encourage dressing according to our daily themes, it is merely a suggestion, and your comfort at the faire should be included in your priority when choosing your garb.
