Overall: 
AGF offline source, the article is in good shape, the picture is great too (hope the promoter can add this). Great work! ROY is WAR Talk! 01:00, 30 August 2025 (UTC)
- Zanahary can we get a quote from the source, which supports the hooks please. @Royiswariii current practice is not to AGF in relation to offline sources and to request a quote. TarnishedPathtalk 11:49, 23 September 2025 (UTC)
- Sure, I’ll read it later today if I can. But the source is online! ꧁Zanahary꧂ 06:35, 24 September 2025 (UTC)
- Zanahary, TarnishedPath, I found this from The Philippine Star here: "The vakul headdress and kanayi vests are worn by Ivatan farmers, the vest for men and the headgear for women. The vakul shades farmers from the rays of the sun and is waterproof too, providing shelter from rain." ROY is WAR Talk! 15:29, 25 September 2025 (UTC)
