Experience TernoCon 2024 At SM Mall Of Asia

The Museo Del Galeon in SM Mall of Asia became a vibrant celebration of Filipino culture and independence during the highly anticipated Ternocon 2024. Visitors can view the exhibit until June 23.

Nothing is more beautiful on Independence Day than seeing our traditional Filipino attire and culture in a fashion show, highlighting the richness and beauty of our heritage.

Ternocon is a highly anticipated event that celebrates our culture and national independence. It brings together talented designers, stunning creations, and a community united in honoring Filipino legacy through fashion.

Titled KKK: Kasarinlan, Kultura, Kasuotan, the fashion show commemorated the 126th year of Philippine Independence. 

The event was made possible through a collaboration between Bench/Lifestyle + clothing and the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP).
