Roxanne “Roxie” Baeyens, the Philippine representative to the Miss Earth pageant, showcased her national costume during the Asia and Oceania group’s competition on Thursday, November 19.
Roxie wrote on her social media accounts that Philippine creation story Si Malakas at Si Maganda provided the inspiration for her costume which was made by Jorick Lopez Limpag.
“This costume was inspired by the legend of Malakas and Maganda, a folktale in the Philippines [on] where humanity…started. The bamboo that was broken in half by the bird, a symbol of where we could fly again. As the Earth faces this pandemic, this costume proudly synthesizes the hardships of those who battled the pandemic with its headpiece that can be converted into a mask…. A crown that is pictured like a sun, the rise of new beginning,” she said.
“We are all beautiful creatures who are strong,” Roxie added.
Here’s a clip of Roxie’s national costume in motion.
Roxie will vie for the Miss Earth title which will be held online on November 29. The show will be telecast on TV5. – Rappler.com
