The designer tapped to create the inaugural Barong Tagalog of President-elect Rodrigo Duterte gave a sneak peek of his work a day before the assumption to the presidency of the Davao City mayor on Thursday.

In a Twitter post, People’s Television Network (PTV-4) shared a photo of the Barong Tagalong designed by Aris Escarrilla of Chardin, his favorite fashion house in Davao City.

In a message to GMA News Online, incoming presidential spokesperson Ernie Abella confirmed that Duterte will wear a Chardin-made Barong Tagalog for his inauguration.

Chardin also showed customized buttons for the Barong Tagalog to spell “DU30.” Swatches of fabrics for Duterte’s pants that will go with his Barong were also posted.

According to the Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO), Duterte's inaugural barong designer was made by Boni Adaza.

It is made of piña jusi fabric paired with black pure cotton pants.

“His wardrobe is the least of the President’s concern, but he went to fit his barong,” incoming PCOO secretary Martin Andanar said.

Adaza said that the barong would be in ecru with light brown and beige details to highlight embroidery that will depict a pattern of the Manobo tribe in Mindanao.

“He wanted to incorporate a symbol to represent the 11 minorities in Mindanao. The tribal prints of the Manobo is the least complicated that’s why we have chosen that. It also shows the President’s simplicity,” he explained.

According to a report by JP Soriano on GMA-7’s “24 Oras,” Chardin made seven barong Tagalog for Duterte—all with Mindanao-inspired embroidery.

Adaza said that although the barong would have a buttoned neck, they have already provided a V-neck inner shirt to match Duterte's usual rough look.

"We provide iyong shirt inside, iyong inner shirt niya na V-neck siya. Hindi siya round-neck na if you have to open the first button, hindi siya makikita," he said. — Trisha Macas/RSJ, GMA News
