Imee Marcos wears Moro armor-inspired dress, crown in SONA 2024

Senator Imee Marcos has arrived at the Batasang Pambansa to attend this year's State of the Nation Address with her sons Borgy and Michael Manotoc and her daughter-in-law Carina Manglapus.

The elder sister of President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. graced the red carpet wearing a Moro armor-inspired dress and a golden crown.

President Marcos is set to deliver his third SONA at the Batasang Pambansa on Monday at 4 p.m. Politicians and their guests from across the Philippines are set to attend the event.

Some of the current pressing issues include the rising conflict in the West Philippine Sea against global superpower China, which has prompted Manila to lodge diplomatic protests against Beijing, and officials from both countries to hold a bilateral meeting to manage the ongoing disputes in the region.

When asked what made her decide to wear this ensemble, she answered, “Kasi maraming mapusok.” | @gmanews pic.twitter.com/jUpIIGi4Fv
