Isle Filipino club celebrates 50th anniversary
The Hawaii Filipino Women's Club will celebrate the golden anniversary of the Terno Ball beginning at 5:30 p.m. Saturday in the Ala Moana Hotel's Hibiscus Ballroom.
HAWAII FILIPINO WOMEN'S CLUB
Cecilia Villafuerto wears a terno influenced by the Spanish mantilla. The terno is the centerpiece of the Hawaii Filipino Women's Club 50th Terno Ball Saturday.
The program will include a fashion show featuring the evolution of the terno from its mixed Spanish and Chinese origin to its incorporation of contemporary Western design influences.
The main events are the Ms. Terno and Mr. Barong Tagalog contests, in which garments worn by women and men, respectively, will be judged.
The women's club was formed 50 years ago to promote Filipino culture and traditions. At the time, the Terno Ball was started to showcase the national formal costume of the Philippines. Men were also allowed to show off the corresponding men's national costume, and the ball eventually became the club's sole scholarship and community service fund-raising project.
The key feature of the terno is its large, domed "butterfly" sleeves. Criteria for judging includes specific rules for sleeves such as:
>> They must be upright, not tilted, and resting properly on the shoulders.Tickets to the event, which includes a 6:30 p.m. dinner, are $25.>> They should be approximately 10 inches wide and 10 to 12 inches tall.
>> The hem of the sleeve should not pass below the elbow and be no more than an inch above the elbow.
>> The distance from the shoulder to the top of the sleeve should be approximately 2 to 3 inches high.
