Japanese or Filipino? Kimono or Baro't Saya?

Wazzup Pilipinas!

What if you were given an opportunity to choose which nationality will you have? Will you choose to have a new nationality, which is to be a Japanese? Or will you still choose to stay in the Philippines and be a Filipino?

In this upcoming August, Filipinos will be celebrating "Buwan ng Wika". As expected, Filipinos should be wearing the traditional barong tagalog (for men) and baro't saya (for women). The Baro’t saya is the unofficial national dress of the Philippines and is worn by women. The name is a contraction of the Tagalog words baro at saya, meaning "dress and skirt". The barong Tagalog (or simply barong) is an embroidered formal garment of the Philippines. It is very lightweight and worn untucked over an undershirt. In Filipino culture it is a common wedding and formal attire, mostly for men but also for women.
