President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. credited his sister, Irene Marcos-Araneta, for helping select the Barong Tagalog he wore during his fifth State of the Nation Address (SONA).
In his “PBBMVLOG 283 AFTER SONA” video posted on his official Bongbong Marcos Facebook page, the President revealed that Irene regularly shops for attire she thinks would suit him, especially for major high-profile events.
Marcos made the revelation when asked who picked out his look for his annual address before a joint session of Congress.
“Ang mga damit ko, lalo na mga barong ko, ay ang kapatid ko, si Irene. Siya ang naghahanap, lagi naghahanap. ‘Yung pag may nakita siya na magandang barong o magandang damit, ay kukunin niya at sasabihin niya, ‘Oh, gamitin mo ito,’” Marcos said.
The President recalled that his sister prepared for the occasion weeks in advance, giving him multiple custom options to review ahead of the event.
“Siguro mga one month before nung SONA, meron na siyang pinadala na barong. Sabi niya, ‘Ito, limang magandang-magandang barong, mamili ka,’” Marcos added.

PBBM says sister Irene helped choose his SONA Barong
President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. credited his sister, Irene Marcos-Araneta, for helping choose the Barong Tagalog he wore during his fifth State of the Nation Address (SONA).
In his PBBMVLOG 283 AFTER SONA posted on his Bongbong Marcos Facebook account, the President made the revelation when asked who chose his attire for the SONA, where he delivered his fifth annual address before Congress.
President Marcos said that his younger sister Irene regularly looks for barongs and other clothes that she thinks would suit him, particularly for important occasions.
“Ang mga damit ko, lalo na mga barong ko, ay ang kapatid ko, si Irene. Siya ang naghahanap, lagi naghahanap. ‘Yung pag may nakita siya na magandang barong o magandang damit, ay kukunin niya at sasabihin niya, ‘Oh, gamitin mo ito,’” said the President when asked who chose his barong Tagalog.
The Chief Executive recalled that his sister had sent him five barongs to choose from about a month before the SONA.
“Siguro mga one month before nung SONA, meron na siyang pinadala na barong. Sabi niya, ‘Ito, limang magandang-magandang barong, mamili ka,’” the President added.
