Ramirez</strong>, whose Ting Hun–inspired collections celebrated the dynamic fusion of tradition and modernity in Chinese-Filipino culture. </p><p>Ting Hun, the traditional Chinese-Filipino engagement ceremony known for its meaningful rituals, auspicious symbols, and elegant dress codes, provided the designers with a rich narrative backdrop, translating heritage into contemporary fashion. </p><p>For the bride, while red and the traditional Cheongsams or Qipaos with high collars and intricate gold embroidery are typically non-negotiable in a Ting Hun, what the collections featured during the event showed was that there are many options to explore for the outfits for this special occasion. </p><p>For the groom, a suit in a deep charcoal or navy is ideal, and a touch of red through the tie or pocket square, to match his bride, is a meaningful idea.</p><p>Ultimately, what&#x27;s most important is that the outfit is easy to move in since the bride, specifically, will be walking backward into the room and performing various rituals.</p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:960px;display:block" width="960"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1771388064429suit it up manila.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/><span class="fr-inner">Suit It Up Manila</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><blockquote cite="https://www.tiktok.com/@metrodotstyle/video/7603601387577986324" class="tiktok-embed" data-video-id="7603601387577986324" id="v34640554264514724" style="max-width:605px;min-width:325px"><iframe name="__tt_embed__v34640554264514724" sandbox="allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox allow-scripts allow-top-navigation allow-same-origin" src="https://www.tiktok.com/embed/v2/7603601387577986324?lang=en-US&amp;referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com%2F%23%2Fworkspace%2Fmonitoring%3Fitem%3Durn%3Anewsml%3Aod2-workbench-api.abs-cbn.com%3A2026-02-18T02%3A35%3A26.679658%3A06523953-3dd4-41be-b442-7b99aa262153%26action%3Dedit" style="width:100%;height:740px;display:block;visibility:unset;max-height:740px"></iframe></blockquote><script async="" src="https://www.tiktok.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:960px;display:block" width="960"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1771388162559vee tan.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/><span class="fr-inner">Vee Tan</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><blockquote cite="https://www.tiktok.com/@metrodotstyle/video/7603603388521024789" class="tiktok-embed" data-video-id="7603603388521024789" id="v43179624803655890" style="max-width:605px;min-width:325px"><iframe name="__tt_embed__v43179624803655890" sandbox="allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox allow-scripts allow-top-navigation allow-same-origin" src="https://www.tiktok.com/embed/v2/7603603388521024789?lang=en-US&amp;referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com%2F%23%2Fworkspace%2Fmonitoring%3Fitem%3Durn%3Anewsml%3Aod2-workbench-api.abs-cbn.com%3A2026-02-18T02%3A35%3A26.679658%3A06523953-3dd4-41be-b442-7b99aa262153%26action%3Dedit" style="width:100%;height:740px;display:block;visibility:unset;max-height:740px"></iframe></blockquote><script async="" src="https://www.tiktok.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:960px;display:block" width="960"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1771388188680anthony ramirez.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/><span class="fr-inner">Anthony Ramirez</span></span></span></div><blockquote cite="https://www.tiktok.com/@metrodotstyle/video/7603605105564290325" class="tiktok-embed" data-video-id="7603605105564290325" id="v55046574193733570" style="max-width:605px;min-width:325px"><iframe name="__tt_embed__v55046574193733570" sandbox="allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox allow-scripts allow-top-navigation allow-same-origin" src="https://www.tiktok.com/embed/v2/7603605105564290325?lang=en-US&amp;referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com%2F%23%2Fworkspace%2Fmonitoring%3Fitem%3Durn%3Anewsml%3Aod2-workbench-api.abs-cbn.com%3A2026-02-18T02%3A35%3A26.679658%3A06523953-3dd4-41be-b442-7b99aa262153%26action%3Dedit" style="width:100%;height:740px;display:block;visibility:unset;max-height:740px"></iframe></blockquote><script async="" src="https://www.tiktok.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p style="text-align:left">Mr. and Ms. Chinatown Global Winners Night took place last February 10 at the Araneta Coliseum, with the following declared as the Grand Winners: Ang Wei Yang (Malaysia) and Tyra Rosnuk (Canada).
