DOHA: The Filipino community expresses more concern for Filipino women to dress up appropriately in public places especially that the Ramadan season draws near.
Community leaders have warned Filipino women anew to be aware on what they wear that would not be unpleasant to the public eye since there is an increased police activity in relation to public decency with Ramadan festival coming up.
“The police now are more vigilant during the Ramadan, so please dress up in appropriate manner when you are out in the public,” said an advisory circulated through the yahoo groups e-mail of Filipino Community Organisations Alliance (FILCOA).
The same group also tells Filipinos that they would issue shortly another advisory aimed at newcomers in Qatar on “acceptable behaviour” during the Ramadan.
Cristina Mariñas, spokesperson of FILCOA, agreed that a lot of her countrymen were caught red-handedly by authorities wearing unacceptable dresses during the Ramadan season in the past but it’s only that this was not thoroughly reported by the media.
Lina recommended light-coloured blouses and skirts made of soft cotton and linen and mixed with accessories like shawl and other soft wrap around cloths to make them look cool to wear against the summer heat.
He said the same dress style need not be costly since women could apply a mix-match or a mix of old and new blouse and skirts depending on what would suit up to make it attractive. “For thin soft skirts, these should be paired with longer loose blouses maybe up to above the knee to avoid revelation of the body shape.”
He also advised women to just wear shirts and jeans which are not too tight to reveal their bodies.
