The Colorful Santacruzan

The Philippine Santacruzan is a colorful event. The celebration is held in big cities and small towns in the Philippines. The women who portray princesses and the Santa Elena or the Emperatriz are the Philippine's most beautiful women.

The formal gowns are beautiful and elegant and mostly inspired from the Philippine national costume called the terno. The formal gowns are created by the country's top designers. These designers compete in showcasing the creation of their gowns in this event. But at the end this celebration should be solemn since it should be the commemoration of the Holy Cross.
