Inspired from the Paru-paru Festival held during the 26th of November, Louis Pangilinan Fashion Empire executed a golden one-piece swimsuit as part of Samantha’s National Costume bodice which was hand-embroidered and embellished with beads, Swarovski crystals and sequins depicting the flamboyant tranformation of women empowerment.

Inspiring change, transition and hope. Like Miss Grand International Philippines 2021 Samantha Panlilio, from a caterpillar, she goes through several stories before she become the beautiful being she is today. A woman who is capable of changing and touching others with hope and joy — truly, a golden butterfly.

Behold your #Binibini5 Arianne Deseree M Viardo of San Fernando, Pampanga in her Bb. Pilipinas National Costume by Santino Rivera:

Christmas Inspiration
(Notes from the designer)

She is wearing a Parol inspired costume by Santino Rivera. The parol is an ornamental, star-shaped Christmas lantern from the Philippines.

Traditionally made of bamboo and paper, it represents the Star of Bethlehem -which guided the Three Wise Men to the manger where Christ the Child was born.

In the yesteryears, the lighted parol illuminated the paths of the Filipinos during their ritual dawn masses of the Yuletide Season.

Today it does not only symbolize the victory of light over darkness, it is also a testament of the Filipino people’s resiliency.
