STARTING next week, lawmakers wearing poloshirts, mini skirts, sexy dress and casual wear will be denied entry to the House of Representatives. Congressmen are now required to wear barong tagalog or coat and tie while female solons, the traditional Filipina dress. The dress code was part of the new directive issued by the House of Representatives to remind the lawmakers of the proper attire while in Congress. Violators will be marked absent. The new directive was issued after the House leadership noticed that some of the male lawmakers are wearing polo-shirts while the female solons are wearing sleeveless, mini skirts or sexy dress. Quezon Rep. Danilo Suarez said a congresswoman even attended the session wearing denim jeans. “We called her attention, that it is not the proper attire. She’s wearing jeans with belt and hand bag, all Louis Vuitton,” Suarez said. “I am a fan of modern fashion, but we should be in proper dress while in Congress,” Lanao del Norte Rep. Aliah Dimaporo said. |
