The costume’s designer, in a Facebook post, said that the "Lapay" is the most symbolic bird of Masbate.
“LAPAY, Masbate's most symbolic and culturally distinct bird. The white hovering seagull bird or great-billed heron, is one of the most typical and beautiful scenes in Masbate,” Lagyap wrote.
After all of the national costumes in the pageant were revealed, Kisses’ costume became a trending topic on social media, particularly Twitter.
