Brent Mendoza’s National Costume for Mister Culture International 2025
BRENT MENDOZA'S NATIONAL COSTUME FOR MISTER CULTURE INTERNATIONAL 2025 From the highlands of Kalinga to the global stage, I carry the marks of a people whose stories are carved in ink and spirit. This National Costume is a tribute to Apo Whang-Od—our living legend, our mambabatok—who turned skin into canvas and tradition into legacy. Each thread and tattoo symbol represents bravery, identity, and the unbroken strength of Indigenous culture. This creation from Simeon Cayatano is a living story. And I wear it with honor, as a son of the Philippines. ππππ’π¨π§ππ₯ ππ’π«ππππ¨π« : John Roy Marasigan ππππ ππ«ππ¬π’πππ§π : Jam Balingit π
