Veteran actor Jericho Rosales, for instance, sported an embroidered Barong Tagalog by Gabbie Sarenas, drawing attention to the plight of Filipino farmers. "Araw at gabi, ano ang nangyayari sa Pilipinas? Para sa akin, tonight is the best night to talk about these things. Let’s talk about kung ano ang estado ng bansa natin," he quipped.
