According to Patch, her national costume is a tribute to Mindanao's Tausug people. Designed by Amir Sali, it demonstrates the versatility of the malong. "From a skirt, to a blanket, or even to wrap or swaddle a newborn baby. So much thought, detail and love was put into this costume and I was so proud to wear it," Patch exclaimed.

My national costume designed by @iamamirsali pays tribute to the Tausug people of Mindanao in Southern Philippines, as well as the different uses of the Malong, from a skirt, to a blanket, or even to wrap or swaddle a newborn baby. ???????? So much thought, detail and love was put into this costume and I was so proud to wear it. Thank you Tito Amir and Hany!! ????????????? ? My costume is also relevant because of the consecutive destructive earthquakes the past few days in Mindanao which caused great damage to property and a few casualties. The Philippines is no stranger to calamities, but each time is never easy, please pray for my country. ????????? ?
