    Filipino garlands continue to rise in popularity due to political events such as the recent campaign rallies held by the presidential aspirants during the campaign period. Different forms of neck sash and flower necklaces can be seen being worn not just by the presidential aspirants but also by the members of their senatorial line-up and party-list members.
