Question 1

Philippines: Oh, Sure. We have two types of traditional clothes. Baro't saya and barong. The baro’t saya is the national dress of the PhilippinesBarong being its masculine equivalent. Both are all traditionally made of piña though other materials that are not piña are also used in some baro't saya and barong.[citation needed]. The Barong Tagalog, more commonly known as simply barong (and occasionally called baro), is an embroidered formal shirt and considered the national dress of the Philippines. It is lightweight and worn untucked over an undershirt. The Barong Tagalog was popularized as formal wear by President Ramón Magsaysay, who wore it to most private and state functions, including his own inauguration. In Filipino culture it is a common formal attire, especially at weddings. Less formal variants are used in schools, universities and offices. Occasionally a feminized version is worn by women, either as an egalitarian or haute couturefashion statement, or as a form of power dressing when worn by female politicians such as Corazon Aquinoduring her presidency.[1] Baro't saya is the feminine equivalent of barong with the Maria Clara gown being the most popular variant of baro't saya.[2] Barong and baro't saya are traditionally made up of piña, although some experimental styles also exist.

They look like this:
