Doing away with the traditional terno, Binay decided instead to go with a white and green number featuring a skirt in the style of traditional Korean costumes.

After pictures of her outfit were posted online, people on Twitter had a field day with her get-up.

Instead of getting offended, Binay was a good sport, even expressing admiration for the creativity of her bashers.
