Pinatunayan ni Apo Whang-Od, 106 years old, na pang-international ang ganda niya dahil maging Hollywood celebrities ay pinahanga niya.

Ang Hollywood A-lister at Oscars Best Actress na si Halle Berry at American supermodel Gigi Hadid ay ilan sa international-known figures na pinuri si Whang-Od via social media.

Si Whang-Od, a.k.a. Maria Oggay, ang pinakamatandang mambabatok o traditional tattoo artist mula sa tribo ng Butbut sa Kalinga.

Tanyag si Whang-Od dahil sa pagiging master ng 1,000-year-old skin art na “batok," na bahagi ng kultura ng tribong Butbuk, lalo na ng mga sinaunang mandirigma.

Si Whang-Od ay recipient ng 1st HIYAS Award for the Indigenous Art noong 2022, Dangal ng Haraya Award, at Bantayog Award.

Matagal-tagal na rin ang kampanya para parangalan siya ng National Living Treasures Award (Gawad Manlilikha ng Bayan).

Nitong April, si Whang-Od ang naging cover girl ng Vogue Philippines.

Tweet ng magazine brand: Apo Maria “Whang-Od” Oggay symbolizes the strength and beauty of the Filipino spirit.
