Change has come indeed to the red carpet of President Rodrigo Duterte’s second State of the National Address (SONA) on Monday, which saw female legislators, senators and lawmakers’ spouses, and other guests generally adhering to the declared dress code of “knee-length Filipiniana or business attire.”
While a preview of this “toned down” SONA fashion took place during Mr. Duterte’s first address at Batasang Pambansa a year ago, there were still several personalities who could not resist glamorous designer ternos.
Sen. Grace Poe
Heart Evangelista Escudero
Sen. Manny Pacquiao with wife Jinkee
Sen. Loren Legarda
Rep. Lucy Torres and daughter Juliana
Sen. Nancy Binay
Sen. Risa Hontiveros
Rep. Vilma Santos
