VICE President and Department of Education Secretary Sara Duterte once again honors Mindanao and the rich culture and tradition of its people during the 2nd State of the Nation Address (SONA) of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.
She will wear a traditional Maguindanaon dress to pay homage and celebrate the Moro tribe that are living mostly in South Central Mindanao.
Her SONA dress is a Bangala paired with a trouser and a flowing inaul or malong.
Vice President Sara Duterte’s Bangala features gold accessories that symbolize the wealth and abundance of Mindanao’s natural resources.
Inaul is a Maguindanao fabric intricately handwoven using cotton and silk.
It is a treasured cultural gem that profoundly reflects the pride, bravery, heritage, and history of the people of Maguindanao.
During the First SONA of PBBM, Vice President Sara Duterte wore a traditional Bagobo Tagabawa dress.
Vice President Sara wishes to thank Gov. Bai Mariam Mangudadatu of Maguindanao del Sur and Mr. Jearson Demavivas for their added creative inputs that inspired her to wear a Maguindanaon traditional dress.
