<p>The <strong>2024 Paris Olympics</strong> is well underway. Thousands of athletes traveled down the Seine River donning their country&#x27;s colors and heritage through their opening ceremony ensembles. <strong>Team Philippines</strong> made an outstanding appearance in their custom <strong>Francis Libiran</strong> <em>Sinag</em> barongs. </p><div><br/></div><p>The barong featured a traditional beige color and ornate embroidery on the collar. The highlight of the design is the armor-like red and blue detachable sling which shows an embroidered yellow sun ray pattern that symbolizes the Philippine flag. In a <a href="https://metro.style/fashion/inspiration/francis-libiran-paris-olympics-2024-exclusive/38635" target="_blank">Metro.Style Exclusive</a>, Francis Libiran shared the story and inspiration behind this work of art. </p><div><br/></div><p>Boxers <strong>Carlo Paalam</strong> and <strong>Nesthy Petecio</strong>, who each won a silver medal in the previous 2020 Tokyo Olympics, lead the 22-athlete Team Philippines as flag bearers. They are joined by boxers <strong>Aira Villegas</strong> and <strong>Hergie Bacyadan</strong>, fencer <strong>Samantha Catantan</strong>, swimmers <strong>Kayla Sanchez</strong> and <strong>Jarod Hatch,</strong> hurdlers <strong>Lauren Hoffman</strong> and <strong>John Cabang Tolentino</strong>, and gymnast <strong>Aleah Finnegan</strong>.</p><div><br/></div><p>Take a look at the gallery below and see photos from the opening ceremony.
