The gala, which benefited the Mangyan Weaving Community, featured a unique runway presentation that highlighted key pieces from Sandico's timeless collections — including sculptural Banaca wraps, elegantly draped silhouettes, and intricately embroidered pieces. Each design echoed the artistry of Filipino weavers and narrated the story of her four-decade journey in fashion, illustrating the dynamic evolution of her work: "what was, what is, and what will be, truly... DITTA."PH Climate Change Commission Ambassador Mache Torres supported the event and also walked as one of the muses.
