Sulod ang tiglawas sang Iloilo City nga si Alexie Brooks sa Top 3 Finalists sa Best in National Costume sa Miss Universe Philippines 2024 national costume competition sa Isulan, Sultan Kudarat.
Suksok ni Brooks ang bodysuit nga may detalye nga inspired sa desinyo sang damang nga “ugto-ugto”.
Masterpiece ini sang Ilonggo designer nga si Tata Blas Pinuela nga amo man anay ang designer sang nagdaog ang La Paz Batchoy-inspired national costume sang Iloilo sa Miss World Philippines 2021.
“Our people’s queen sported a bodysuit with sparkling multicolored details arranged in a design that resembles an eight-legged critter called “UGTO-UGTO”, an Ilonggo term for an orb-weaver spider. The posterior part is simply elegant and highlights the wearer’s voluptuousness. The bedazzled appendages affixed to the back represent balance and personal growth and a delicate-colored cephalothorax headpiece adorned with voluminous eyes finish the look,” kabahin sang paglaragway sa costume.
Nakabaton man ang Ilongga queen sang pagdayaw halin kay Iloilo City Mayor Jerry Treñas: “With Tata Blas Pinuela’s exceptional talent and Alexie Brooks’ captivating representation, they have showcased the creative brilliance of Iloilo on a national stage.
