With its unwavering commitment to promote the terno (Philippine national dress), Ternocon returns for its third edition, which will culminate in January 2023. Ternocon 3 emphasises the balintawak, the country version of the terno, characterised by its alampay (a soft kerchief) and tapis (a wraparound strip usually worn around the waist).
