Brooks brought the house down with a body-hugging suit resembling the Ilonggo spider called Ugto-Ugto, created by Tata Pinuela. Hammond stood out parading in a costume inspired by the UNESCO-declared Heritage Site of Tubbataha Reef, designed by Ehrran Montoya, while Ocier also drew huge applause with her ‘Halo’ costume of Tacloban’s famous monitor lizard, designed by Charlotte Rodriguez.
“I discovered I have a talent for painting. I took up Marketing but I was interested in designing,” Salonga said. A friend liked and bought one of my artworks, and took it to the U.S. I could not believe that many got interested and commissioned me to do more,” added the 51-year-old, self-taught artist.
