Many songs have been written about toiling the fields, proof that bending our backs to bow to the earth is not just only about hard work but also a joyful thing to do.

As a show of gratitude, Miss Batac is wearing a costume with lightness in spirit and utter respect for the farmers of Batac who remain loyal to our life-giving fields.

Where there is home, there is warmth. We all grew up in the comfort of an Inabel Blanket, its cozy fabric cocooning us in its embrace, its intricate design and patterns resembling our dreams of the future. Miss Batac wears the same familiar fabric that reminds us all of the familiar feeling of warmth during the closed-door interview at Balay, San Nicolas. A look of modesty and uncomplicated splendor symbolizing the easy going nature of Bataqueños.

Paying homage to our cultural identity with pride and honor.

Traditional doesn’t necessarily mean outdated, traditional is feminine and has a deep sense of respect for our roots.

The way to prepare for the future is by understanding our traditions. Like the old-tradition Filipiniana Dress our Miss Batac is wearing, it is a symbol of the qualities of Ilocanos - unique, resilient, fighter yet kind.

It is also adorned with precious gems representing our bright future, shining opportunities, and timeless beauty that Ilocandia holds close to its heart.

Beauty and tradition personified.
