Sports Monday, May 19, 2003 Feeling ethnic Text and photos by Elmer I. Nocheseda My two daughters both decided to wear Tboli ethnic weave to school and came home with prizes. Pamela won the best costume award in their schools United Nations Day. Patricia was the best in Filipiniana dress during their Linggo ng Wika celebration. The judges recognized their ethnic beauty and the pride they wore with their costumes. They both felt pretty in their lovely dresses. Well, they also got their first lessons in turning ethnic weave into mainstream fashion. Perhaps they would eventually learn to wear it as casually as they would wear their jeans. Tboli dreaming Interest is stirring in me over the Tboli costume. Though a vanishing image, the Tboli women wearing full traditional costume look stunning. They are petite and regal in frame, wrapped in many-colored sarongs and delicately embroidered blouses. Women and girls adorn themselves with foot-long earrings, layers of necklaces, and hats as large as colorful umbrellas. They have stacks of anklets and braceletsred, blue, black and white, green, turquoise.
