Philippines mandates Filipiniana attire for government workers on Mondays

Starting December 8, all government workers in the Philippines must wear "Filipiniana-inspired" attire on Mondays. This new dress code aims to enhance morale and professionalism in public workplaces. On the first Monday of each month, employees will wear "Asean-inspired" clothing, reflecting the styles of Southeast Asian nations. The guidelines emphasize the use of native fabrics and traditional designs. From Tuesday to Friday, workers should wear agency-prescribed uniforms or smart casual attire. Casual clothing and certain footwear are prohibited, promoting a more professional appearance.
