Eco-Friendly gown of the President

Today the President of the Republic of the Philippines, Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, delivered her 8th State of Nation Address (SONA) at the Batasang Pambansa. I watched the SONA and am writing about the President not because I am much interested in what she said. It was her gown – reddish pink made of Philipppine indigenous materials , silk from Misamis Oriental and pineapple fibers from Aklan - which was designed by the famous fashion designer, JC Buendia, that caught my attention. For the past years, I have appreciated the gowns she wore but it’s her gown now that I like the most especially that it is an eco-friendly gown.
