The AFP has invited us in a "Military Uniform Exhibit" event at the
Mall of Asia, 10am-6PM .

openning.

> We are asked to wear any military uniform of any era & of any country we
want.

people to see you in uniform, pls. prepare a 1-2 minute script describing
your uniform, who you are reenacting, the historical background, battles
the soldier participated wearing the uniform you wear, etc... all related
on your outfit. This will be read by the "host" while you are walking on
the stage so that the people would be educated & know what army you are
representing.

creativity on 1-2 minutes

If you are representing the true Igorots in their native traditional attire, they never wore trousers under their traditional "Bahag" loincloth. This is a joke to their culture and false historical representation.

It's like trying to do an impression of a Scot in a kilt and wearing trousers underneath.

Guys this event originally is a launching of a magazine and mil cosplay as simply as that, but due the the fallen soldiers last week there will be tribute and ceremony in the late afternoon.

Someone record the stage on video and upload to you tube please.

Have a great event.

a quote from one of our highland friends:

Matter of fact, the "ba-ag" was never worn in the bush. The lakays say that trousers were preferred, as it offered better protection against bugs and crud that would otherwise run up the legs and settle in the crotch. Igorot scouts in "ba-ag" fighting it out, is a myth; never happened. They wore standard-issue stuff like the rest.

However, the Igorots did bring along their own woven blankets and rattan backpacks - much more reliable than the M1921 pack.

Thank you for the information about the interesting use of the rattan backpack and it's enduring quality. But was the Rattan backpacks a constabulary or Scout standard issued equipment?

Did the Igorot Constabulary or scout wear regulation trousers under their traditional "Ba ag" at the same time ?

[manang]

Is the ba-ag the equivalent of the Scottish Kilt? Well during WW1, the Scot units did fight in their kilts w/o underwear... There are a lot of historical photos to show the Scots in WWI, and even WWII fighting in their kilts....
