MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Does a dress make a woman or does a woman make a dress?

These questions are what reigning Miss Universe Philippines Gazini Ganados hopes to answer when she competes in this year’s pageant.

Ganados unveiled the two designs from which she will be choosing for her national costume at the prestigious international  beauty pageant.

In speaking with The Adobo Chronicles, Ganados said the idea is to take the designs of dresses worn by famous Filipinas and showcase them to the world, just like former Philippine First Lady showcased the terno.

The top designs for Ganados’ national costume were inspired by no less than Vice President Leni Robredo.
