00:06 wore were reworked from ancestral gold burial masks.
00:10 The actress posts photos of her ensemble on Instagram, saying the look was an appreciation
00:14 for Philippine ancestral gold.
00:17 She adds the neckpiece and earrings she wore are centuries-old gold from iron mouth covers

00:28 Art critic and curator Marian Basta Roses says the orifice covers Beauty is paying homage

00:39 to the National Museum or the Banco Central.
