Halasan shared that he was shocked to not see his creation during the pageant but accepted that it is probably not yet the time for it to be included in the said prestigious competition. In a previous article, Rabiya’s stylist Rain Dagala clarified that the total weight of the overall outfit of Rabiya for the national competition was too heavy for her to walk down the stage. Thus, they chose to cut down some details for her comfort.

The stylist shared that the skirt weighed 20 kilograms, the pair of wings alone is 21 to 25 kilograms, and the headpiece was 15 kilograms. This statement of the stylist circulated online but designer Mak Tumang made some revelations about the headdress. Accordingly, the headpiece is just three kilograms and told the people online to not spread fake details.
