attire which we now call Filipiniana or
Traje de Mestiza.

the Philippines. It is said that the song acts as
a protest song for the Filipino women.
The meaning of the song is this: during that
time, some women are selling their own
bodies to Spanish colonizers with exchange
for money and food. The lyrics of the song
could be a proof. Understand it carefully.
