“Proud to be Filipina,” Michele began her post before crediting her wonderful team: Nat Manilag for designing the dress and the props, which he worked on together with Jayson Cedric, Niccolo Cosme and Eugene Herrera for the photographs,  Carissa Cielo Medved for her makeup, and Dave Grona taking care of her hair.

According to Nat, the modern terno was inspired by the golden Sarimanok. The knee-high slit of the sheer tulle pencil cut skirt was masked by a ballskirt train.
