[...] According to a slip of paper I got when I bought my own sablay (yes, yours truly has just graduated!): The word Sablay has two meanings: one, a loose piece of clothing, worn by a person, that is simple yet elegant and joined in front by an ornament, and two, the draping object or fabric on the shoulder.

No wonder I saw the sablay draped upon someone wearing a barong inside the MRT station. You also endured the infamously long University Graduation at Diliman.

Congratulations!
