A Philippine terno designed by Josip Tumapa received the Best in Philippine Terno award at Hara sa Negros Oriental 2026. The gown was created for Ciakira Shermane Beltran, who went on to win the competition.

The ivory design features traditional butterfly sleeves, a fitted bodice with intricate silver-toned embellishments, and asymmetrical draping that shapes the waist and skirt. Long flowing fabric panels extend from the gown, creating movement during its presentation on stage.

The award-winning creation reflects Josip Tumapa Design's approach to contemporary Filipiniana, combining traditional Philippine dress elements with individually developed details and craftsmanship.
