WOMEN OF BUKIDNON

WOMEN OF BUKIDNON

WOMEN OF BUKIDNON The beauty of the Bukidnon women is always complemented by the style of the traditional dress they wear, specifically designed to show their great pride, dignity and the great characteristics of their tribe and their people. Every material, colour, bead, shell, coin, feather is detailed to represent some aspect of their inner selves. Their pleated and voluminous skirts are held together by decorative belts with extra embroidered or beaded material hanging on each side of the hips. Their jewellery includes beaded earrings, bright multi-coloured bracelets, rings and anklets with tiny bells attached to them, making musical sounds as they walk.
