Filipino national costume is rather colorful, ornate, and beautiful. Filipino people lived under the occupation of other countries for centuries. That’s why their national attire was formed under the influence
of different cultures and got some of their features. The U.S., Spain, Japan and China had the biggest impact on the traditional clothing of the Philippines. But nevertheless, Filipino folk dress is very unique,
authentic and even tribal, if we can say so.
