Keep the Olympic spirit going, celebrate Team Philippines at Shangri-La Plaza

The Olympics happens only once in four years, and Team Philippines is flying the flag high and showing the world their relentless Filipino spirit with their stellar talent and performances that celebrate years of discipline, hard work, and sacrifices. From Carlos Yulo’s history-making back-to-back gold haul to Nesthy Petecio and Aira Villegas bringing home a metal each in women’s boxing to Eumir Marcial’s and EJ Obiena’s determination and sportsmanship, there are so many things to be mighty proud about being Filipino at the Paris 2024 Summer Games.

Shangri-La Plaza is one with the nation in celebrating every Filipino athlete at the Olympics with a special showcase of Team Philippines’ Sinag Barong by renowned designer Francis Libiran at the East Wing. Donned by Filipino Olympians at the Opening Ceremony, the barong features eye-catching details celebrating the Philippines’ rich cultural heritage. Carefully constructed using luxurious piña-jusi fabric, each has a detachable silk organdy sling adorned with embroidered sun rays and patterns inspired by Pintados, the pre-colonial tattooed warriors. The sling is also purposely placed near the wearer’s heart, representing our athletes’ love for the country.

Catch a glimpse of the Sinag Barong in a stunning exhibit styled by famed event stylist Dave Sandoval. This meticulously curated display showcases the intricate details and craftsmanship of Libiran’s design alongside an immersive visual experience celebrating the Philippines’ proud heritage. This Opening Ceremony attire is now available for pre-order at Shangri-La Plaza’s Francis Libiran branch.

Apart from Libiran, Adidas Philippines has also teamed up with the Philippine Olympic Committee to deck out Filipino athletes with sporty casual Village and Podium looks for 16 officially sponsored teams. The apparel, proudly modeled by the likes of Yulo and Petecio, features bold fonts with striking line patterns and vibrant colors to capture the spirit and strength of Filipino sportsmanship. Want to cop their style? Shang has got the exact Adidas Ultraboost 5 sneakers Yulo wore as he proudly stood on the podium with his gold medals while singing the National Anthem. Pop over to Adidas at Shang to grab a pair (and a piece of Philippine sports history!) and feel like a champ.
