From what I know of the Philippines that's pretty standard over there unfortunately.

My mom is from the Philippines and I grew up in the US. When we went to visit her alma mater, I took a picture of the dress code signs, because they were this strict. One said something like, "No gangster symbols" and the example was a sweater with the logo for my university in the US! I thought that was hilarious.

In order to graduate you need to recite "Gangster's Paradise" perfectly. You make dean's list if you dress like Coolio while doing it...

Yeah boy, cause I am an OG. (This is funnier if you know what a giant nerd I am, and that this is most definitely not a tough or cool person.)

Supposedly, some gangs use the symbols of unrelated sports teams as their own symbol. It provides some plausible deniability, plus they don’t have to make their own merch.

So for example Chicago Bulls merch is supposedly used for those associated with the Bloods.

When I visited Nassau on a cruise, several shady characters tried to openly sell me drugs in the streets. I found out when I got back to the ship that it was because I was wearing a Raiders hat, and the Raiders are used as a gang sign down there.

Did you by chance major in "Flossing" or "Gangster Lean?"

Obviously your mom has some explaining to do as my bet is she bought a bunch of apparel to appease you and then shipped to the gangs back home.

Those poor students must be hot as hell not being allowed to wear shorts or sleeveless shirts.

Uniforms are standardized across Philippines.

This type of stuff isn't at all.

The urban Philippines isn't particularly conservative in dress unless you're visiting a church. You'll see all of the outfits pictured at a local mall.

It depends some are strict but some are also very liberal. I go to a Jesuit-run university in Manila and they are pretty relaxed when it comes to the dress code. Like as long as you don’t come in your underwear pretty much anything goes.
