i think they dress similar to sabah's women priestesses, but that is just a guess. one thing i notice about some of the indigenous tribes of sabah is that their dress sorta look similar to the indigenous tribes of the corderillas, well im basing this on a book i have about sabah, anyways in the book the women priestesses wear stripped wrap around cloth and also have these 2 bead sashes that look like an X across the chest.. and i think the women preisesses in sabah are calle boboizan or something, to me it sound similar to babaylan, but again all this are my speculation, it may conincediences, but i dont know anywhere on the net that talk about this to find out for sure.
