Hawaii Filipino Women’s Club officers Carlota Ader, left, Chuleta Paco, Nelly Pongco Liu and Aurora Manzon set a fine example in their elegant terno gowns at the organization’s 42nd Annual Terno Ball Saturday at the Hawaii Prince Hotel. More than 50 men and women wore traditional Filipino formal attire — terno gowns for the women, barong tagalog shirts for the men — in competition for the titles of Ms. Terno and Mr. Barong Tagalog 2016.
