THE Filipinas are in for a festive, morale-boosting treat as they play the hometown Ferns in a critical second FIFA Women’s Group A match at the Sky Stadium in Wellington on Tuesday.
“We bought our tickets early, then it suddenly dawned upon us that this is going to be a very historic game so we just had to do something to boost the morale of our national team,” Matilde Figuracion, head of of the Filipino Artists in New Zealand and one of the event’s organizers, said Monday.
Figuracion said these were the same ones that were well-preserved when they took part as one of the cultural sidelights in 2011 when New Zealand hosted World Rugby Cup. “Once the word got out, a native from Aklan reached out through his son-in-law to us and wanted to be part of the festivities. We told him that we would reserve one of our costumes for his use.”
