Miss Universe Philippines Gazini Ganados wears 'watawat' earrings
If Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray had her iconic "Three Star and the Sun" ear cuff, Gazini Ganados is donning a pair of "watawat" earrings.
In an IG post, Pinoy designer Kathryn Fanlo unveiled the Philippine bet's custom-made earrings adorned with the colors and features of the Philippine national flag.
"Wearing our flag with pride," Fanlo wrote in the caption, sharing the flag-inspired earrings were made specially for Gazini.
"Thank you for helping promote local talent and showing the rest of the world our rich culture," she added.
Posting a photo of Gazini modelling the watawat earrings, Fanlo wrote in the caption, "'Watawat - a symbol of peace, unity, and Filipino pride."
Gazini has been wearing several of the local designer's creations to pre-pageant activities, including a lovely neckpiece featuring a girl from the Ata tribe of Mindanao.
Awesome representation, indeed! Gazini is currently in Atlanta, Georgia for the Miss Universe pageant. The coronation night will be on December 9 (Manila time). — Margaret Claire Layug/LA, GMA News
