A few months ago, our school celebrated an annual program, Lakan at Lakambini Ng Kalikasan (Prince and Princesses of Nature) that collaborates on both mother nature and fashion, but mainly it focuses on the re-usage of a material in accordance with protecting Mother Nature and of course, the creativity, skills, imagination of a contestant. And don't forget the Catwalk attitude! I really think that it is a cool way to promote Nature. This is another Filipino's indigenous way in expressing and promoting one's skill, passion and artistic ways. And P.S. all of the participants were just High School Students and most of the materials used in their costumes/outfits were, plastics, newspapers, broken glass, flour sacks, etc.
