Show show, the SONA fashion

The SONA has become an annual and grand spectacle for politicians, vis-a-vis politico de familia, and their extended families all under one roof (Batasan Pambansa) they shared with no less, La Presidenta. It is but an anticipated event for local designers to showcase their locally grown mastery in the art of fashion. Unfortunately, it is saddening to at least note that those squander and intricately designed gowns and filipinianas are but superficial typification of power and advantage in society while the rest of the Filipinos die by the day.

There's Gloria Macapagal Arroyo and spouses, family members of her cohorts, namely:

Baby Arenas
Assunta de Rossi
Dawn Zulueta
Anna York Bondoc

The rest is but a show-show. Redundancies and repetitions alike. A parade of wealth and extravagance. This upholds the mystic line of beauty in the inside.
