The Miss Kaogma candidates donning their Kaogma Festival Costume Candidate No. 16 Erika Mae T. Ricafranca from Iriga City, Camarines Sur
DESIGNER: Robert Joshua Magistrado / Tristan Ramos Marmol
The costume is a cultural artifact that tells the story of the KAOGMA festival, showcasing the vibrant life of Camarines Sur. Fiery hues of red and orange cascade down the bodysuit, reflecting the festival's intense fervor. The design includes symbolic representations of chili, embodying the region's zest and vigor, and the Pili nut, symbolizing resilience and prosperity. A magnificent train adorned with details from Iriga City, including the majestic Rafflesia flower and the Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes, adds depth to the ensemble. The headpiece, reminiscent of the sun, symbolizes vitality and optimism. At the back, a large circle represents unity and community, emphasizing that the festival is about coming together to celebrate shared heritage and traditions.
See you tomorrow at the coronation night!
