Summary
Filipino politicians are expected to participate in a fashion parade each year. Since about the end of the 1990s the annual President’s State of the Nation Address (SONA) in the Philippines has been preceded by an event in which the parliamentarians of both houses of the senate and congress and their partners or spouses are expected to walk down a red carpet attired in couture versions of the national dress especially tailor-made for this occasion. In 2014 the television channel ABS-CBNnews.com ran a People’s Fashion Choice contest on Facebook for the best-dressed attendee. The shortlist of ten contestants were all women composed of both politicians and those linked to male politicians as spouses, mothers, or sisters and therefore very influential, as in the Philippines power is held by kinship alliance groups.
