Recently, there are so many people are reacting differently to our policemen in the city. The circulating issue on the Internet is that the uniform doesn't match wearing a G-string. I am living in the Cordillera and proud to see them being like this. It is a culture concern that they can wear these traditional clothing. The main goal is to promote Cordilleran's culture to tourists.
Is it bad to practice the culture?
What is your opinion about this issue?

These aren't really G-strings. I would rather call them loincloths. I believe that people should be proud of their culture and that cultural dress should be worn where it is appropriate. In the UK there are Scottish police who sometimes wear kilts. They don't do it on a regular basis, though.
I think that your police in traditional loincloths look fine. They should rethink the black shoes and short socks, though, because they look a bit ridiculous.

No, it's not wrong to support the culture. Though I'm not sure how protective the atire would be given their line of work. But, someone has to repersent the culture in some way I guess. If not those supporting and repersenting the law, then who?

@Shavkat I wasn't concerned so much about the cold, but the exposed skin.

@kaylachan I think they can handle it. They used to the coldness of the weather despite wearing them.

That is not what I think of when I hear G-string. But as it is part of your culture they should wear them if they like. To me it is more what we would call a loin cloth

I have no problem, culture is cool and keeps us grounded and true. Crap these days teaches crap and could use a lesson to get their morals back. Go forward but never forget where you came from, he or she who forgets that is destined to live in a world that will never make them happy. For those that never had that, well you have the unique opportunity to make your own culture.

@Shavkat Nothing wrong with that, people should embrace their history where they came from, a lot of hard work and a lot of blood went into it.

@Shavkat Oh I see. It's good but they could have changed the upper halves too.

@Dreamerby I cannot do anything but accept what they had planned with this matter.

@Shavkat To be honest I like it. It's very uniquely Filipino. It's a mixture of cultures and there is nothing wrong with it. There is even one Congressman who proudly wears your traditional clothes (Cordillera traditional clothing) to Congress.

This is more of a mixture of police uniform and the cultural wear
