I got this latex paint in a canvas photo in Porta Vaga, Baguio City, Philippines. She is a typical Igorota with a twist. Why? Because she is wearing a modern upper top. The artist named it "Binibining Marikit." If translated these two words into English, it means "Miss Beautiful."

I've always liked the name Marikit and Mayumi, very Filipino.

I agree. The names are so traditional. You can add the name, Maria.

@Shavkat Well, Maria is common in other languages and countries, too, unlike Marikit and Mayumi. Another name I remember back in high school is Isagani (a classmate). I don't think it's found in other languages/countries.

I agree. She might join Miss Philippines, too.

@Shavkat You're probably right but it still looks good just the way it is.
