They said he did not respect the formality and historical value. of the occasion. But he said, he is more comfortable wearing casual clothes only..
Originally, he prefer to wear jeans and Tshirt..but an adviser told him to wear a polo, at least..

Wow! I think Chiz is really HOT and will be watched closely when he is in the Senate already.
Before I choose the best answer, I also want to react on some answerers opinion. no offense please.
1.MAKAMASA- For a politician just to be branded as MAKAMASA, it is not necessary for him to wear rugged or emphasize that masa look. At the end of the day, being makamasa will be based on your performance
2. Comfortability - Although, it is not prohibited to wear maong in formal occasions, being educated people, we should know when , where, how to dress properly. All of us feel comfortable on what we wear during bedtime, we are all comfortable wearing slippers, does it mean that we have to wear pajama and slippers everywhere we go?
3. Looks cool - Would you still consider it COOL if all our Senators, judges, priests, teachers, parents, company presidents will wear maong or anything they feel comfortable on formal occasion?

It was disappointing really. May pinag-aralan pa naman. To think that this guy spoke straight Tagalog most of the time during interviews and speeches. At least he could have worn a barong.
It's not a misplaced priority. It has nothing to do with priority duh. To persons that say there is nothing wrong with it, they're wrong. There is such a thing as a dress code. They probably are those who wear jeans when the invitation says semi-formal. You don't see American senators wear jeans to their proclamations do you? It's so "Chizzy" to use that for more pogi points with the "masses" as what we've read in some posts.
Filipinos have been used to "dressing down" that mentalities have changed. It's also not makamasa or being "totoo". It's common DECENCY for crying out loud. But as we say, "only in the Philippines", and oh yeah that Latin American country where that President wore a sweater during State visits to other countries.
Jeans? Give me a break. As usual we Filipinos are the laughing stock for foreigners again. Not only are we the most corrupt country in Asia, some of our thieves or thieves to be have no sense of style whatsoever.
If that was the man under those clothes, I'd want my vote back. It's a good thing I skipped the elections.

He should respect his position, it does'nt matter if he's comfortable of what he is wearing. Everybody was in formal attire and look what he's wearing, he thinks, that being a senator is the same sa SB Member :-)
Common' Chiz' thats not the way to do it, whole Philippines is watching you!

This is the kind of person more than 13 million Filipinos voted for...
It has nothing to do with comfort. The senatorial proclamation is a formal occasion and one is required to wear formal clothes. Even if we don't take its historical value in consideration, the fact is it is a formal event.
It's just like attending a wedding when you're the ninong. Would you wear jeans? Of course not, unless it's a non-traditional wedding.
This is just the beginning for Escudero. If he couldn't conform to simple protocols like this, how do we expect that he would also conform to and follow what Filipinos want?

What matters is his performance as a public servant and not the clothes he wear.
Yet, the occasion calls for at least a casual formal. More often than not, poeple's respect varies on how you carry yourself on different occasions. Why do you think in the working sector "power dressing" is popular? I'm also a very jeans-and-shirt girl but it doesn't hurt to be properly dressed when needed.

If he says he is comfortable wearing jeans, leave him be. It is not because jeans is not a formal wear to don on a formal occasion but, it has always been casual wear for him ever since. Maybe he just wants to be what he usually is, no pretensions to be otherwise; it is how people see him and has accepted him. The most important thing is he won because people believe him and in his capabilities when he was a Representative of the House, not because he wears barong tagalog or some other branded apparel. Clothes do not make a man, but it is how he wears it, how he projects what he is wearing that makes him a man.

hello, sir ping. i feel sorry for him sir ping. it's okay as long as he is not naked and as long as his clothes are clean and he took a bath. what is important sir ping is he can serve his country and his countrymen. just like when you go to a wedding sir ping, will the bride and groom snob you for not wearing a suit or barong for the occassion or they will see first what present for them you have with you. sir ping, sometimes we have to look what's inside a person and not the outside appearance. thank you sir ping and have a good day sir.

Surely, Mr Escudero had pre-knowledge of the barrage of criticisms that would come his way for his "fashion statement". And still, he did it. If nothing else, the man has guts!!! Enough said.
I've read everyone's opinions twice at least...some more times than others. First of all, let's all agree that the thumbs down in this section has nothing to do with the quality of your answers. It has nothing to do even if they agree with you or not. That's just the sad reality here at YAP. We have professional thumbs-downers.
That said, I'd like to react to some of your answers. It seems to me that those who apparently approved of Escudero's "shenanigan" were able to say their piece without pontificating. And yet those who vehemently disapproved were quite judgmental of those with opposing opinions. And I quote Ms. Joannah "to persons that say there is nothing wrong with it, they're wrong...they probably are those who wear jeans when the invitation says semi-formal." end of quote With all due respect, Ms. Joannah, we don't know these people. Just because they favored Escudero's informal get-up at a formal affair, it doesn't mean that they themselves would have done the same thing. They were merely expressing their opinions from Escudero's point of view (his mindset, not theirs). Ms. Cherie was just as adamant. She said " Would you wear jeans to a formal occasion? If you do, your parents need some re-educating." Whoa!!! Was that really called for?
My hats off to Ms. Roche. She was also against Escudero's "costume" and yet she expressed her views explicitly without personally attacking the "pro-informal Escudero supporters."
We can all agree to disagree all night long but please let's all respect everyone's opinions. Thank you.

whatever he wears, so long as he is comfortable with it then its fine. the important thing is he must not forget the things that he promised during his campaign and should work when he already holds office.

Do they have dress code? I think he is cool and much of attraction other than the senatoriables. Its not what he wear counts its the attitude. Even if he wear polo and jeans but he carry much hiself rather than those who wore corporate but couldn't execute well there task.
Im Proud of CHIZ
