Behold your #Binibini39 Bellatrix Belle Tan of Zamboanga in her Bb. Pilipinas National Costume created by Erich Miñoza:

“Subang”
(Full moon worship of the Subanens )
Notes from the designer

A creation that mirrors the rich culture of the first inhabitants of the Zamboanga peninsula.

“Princess Nayac” a royal princess of the tribe Subanen, the daughter of Subanen King, King Timway Saragan. She is a reformed royal princess who travels regularly from one location to another to clear more forest fields.

She is destined to be a fierce warrior princess who will be the strongest and most powerful subanen tribesman

Traditional wear consisted of upper and lower garments with headdress and other accessories. The tight fitting garment that was generally black made that symbolizes the night as the time of worship of the tribe. The tribe believes that the black garment can shield them against the effect of the eclipse. This attire in full regalia consisting of “sub” (upper), “magpandyo” (headdress), “G’lang” (bracelet), “Sing’I” (angklet).

An iconic picture and history unveiled for the nation to see.

Choosing the best among this year’s National Costumes for Bb. Pilipinas 2017

Prior to judging, there was a video shoot at the Gateway Tower Penthouse

Last night, the forty (40) Binibinis privately paraded to a panel of judges (headed by Madame SMA) wearing their awe-inspiring National Costumes to select the best among this year’s offerings from some of the country’s best designers. The winner will be announced on April 30.

And earlier yesterday as well, the Binibinis were shot on video wearing the traditional garbs at the Penthouse of Gateway Tower. The clips will be shown on Coronation Night as well. Thankfully, the respective designers were interviewed on-cam by ABS-CBN Lifestyle so that they can proudly talk about their masterpieces.

Here are some of the individual photos during the judging.
