Justine Felizarta, representing Philippines, is currently in Malaysia competing in Miss Tourism International 2022. Recently, Justine wore her National Costume as she visited the Hung Temple which is dedicated to the Hung Kings and is celebrated through a festival yearly, every third month in the Lunar Calendar.

Designed by Neil Patrick Jimlani, Justine’s National Costume is called ‘Sari’. Sari is mainly inspired by the story of the legend of Mount Apo, the tallest volcano of the Philippines. Apong, which Mount Apo is derived, is a brave warrior and had a lovely daughter who is loved by many namely, Sari. Sari has a long dark tress and a soft sweet voice. The costume is enthused by the scenic landscape of the mountain and colorful culture of the moro and indigenous people of the Philippines.

The green symbolizes growth and renewal, which depicts the growth of the empowered women of today's generation. 'Bulawan' or the gold accents represents the women being the gem of the tribe. With that, 'Sari' is a lady who exemplifies strong and regal attributes of an Exceptionally Empowered Filipina.
