Behold your #Binibini7 Shanon Stampon of Caloocan in her Bb. Pilipinas National Costume created by Armand Marco:

Lakambini ng Himagsikan
(Notes from the designer)

Isang inspirasyon sa mga kababaihang Filipino sa kanyang katapangan at tatag ng paninindigan. Gregoria De Jesus, ang kabiyak ng dibdib ni Andres Bonifacio at hinirang na “Ina ng mga Katipunero” at “Ina ng Himagsikan.” Tagapangalaga ng mahahalagang dokumento, namahala sa pagpapakain at pagpapagamot sa mga Katipunero.

Ang kasuotan ay lumalarawan sa tanyag na Monuménto, ang pangunahing palatandaan ng Lungsod ng Caloocan, simbolo ng mga pangyayari, katapangan at kagitingan ng mga Pilipino. Itinayo dito ang dambana ng tagapagtatag ng Katipunan na si Andres Bonifacio. Ang oktagonang paanan ng paylon na kumakatawan sa unang walong lalawigan na nag-aklas laban sa pamumuno at pananakop ng mga Espanyol. Ang dalawampu’t tatlong estatwa na kasama sa pangyayari na tinaguriang “Unang Sigaw ng Himagsikan sa Balintawak”. Ang bandila ng Katipuanan, na ginawa ni Gregoria De Jesus sa isang kulay pulang tela na karaniwang tinatawag na “kundiman,” ay sumasagisag sa dugo at katapangan ng mga katipunero na handang lumaban at ialay ang buhay para sa kalayaan.

Ang modernong kasuotan ng Lakambini ng Caloocan, ay hango sa kasuotan ni Andres Bonifacio na hawak ang tabak at bandila ng Katipunero. Ito’y sumisimbolo sa mga makabagong kababaihang lumalaban at patuloy na itinataguyod ang karapan ng bawat kababaihan at ng mga naaapi sa lipunan. Isang adhikain na mula noon hanggang ngayon ay patuloy na isinusulong upang manatili ang pagkakapantay sa karapatan ng bawat mamayang Filipino.

  1. Not bad… what’s with the red bird-wing arms and thigh-high boots though?.. I like the idea… I’m just not a fan of the color scheme…. I wish the colors of the whole ensemble was more uniform…. Maybe if the designer did some color blocking on the dress using red as the dominant color this could have worked…. but i do understand that he’s trying to recreate a modern Katipunero uniform hence the color scheme.

    Again it’s not a bad idea… I just feel like this could have been done better somehow… I guess her posing with one leg bent to look like the Andres Bonifacio’s historical revision launching an attack kinda makes this look awkward since she’s wearing high heeled thigh-high boots…

    I do like the stuff at the back though….

    I just wish she wore something like a modernized “Inang Bayan” than a feminized Andres Bonifacio…

    But I still like this whole costume… it’s polarizing which still makes it interesting… I prefer this over the boring costumes of the other contestants I can’t even remember…

    7.5 stars!

  2. I recall the post on MBP last year… In my Pick were “Tampon, Tamondong (yep! Refer to earlier post…), …, and (a name that for some reason ayaw ni Admin; every time I mention her, my comment never gets approved)”. 🙂

    Gregoria de Jesus looks like a Transformer candidate at Putera Indonesia… Or, for that matter, the policeman candidate at MrGWP 2016 (did he represent Taguig City?). THESE BACK PIECES NEED TO STOP NOW. Look how they weighed down Cenarosa’s otherwise lovely “terno”. 😦

    Ticaro of Tagum City, Gila Salvador, Taruc, Rosales, & Jashmin I look forward to… Why do I feel 2M’s will disappoint? As for Rushton, I hope she has saved her best (NatCos) for last!… Have we seen Honey’s? Hindi ko maalala kung ano… (‘Yun’g “suman” at “sampaguita” ang naiisip ko. Btw, belated HBD to PB, Cartasano’s adviser/mentor/patron. Ang chubby niya ngayon! Is he in love?).
