00:00Now, in 2025, they are the INN.
00:07Their trend is pants that are too loose.
00:12You'd think it would fit.
00:14There's also a bandana.
00:17And they call it, Geng-Geng.
00:20Who wouldn't be mesmerized
00:23when they see
00:25groups of people with rumpas
00:28It's as if they've invaded malls,
00:32parks,
00:34and even roads
00:36while flexing their OOTDs
00:40or Outfit of the Day.
00:45Their pants are baggy.
00:48Their clothes are oversized.
00:50And their accessories are slave.
00:55Some are impressed.
00:57The way they look is beautiful.
00:59My ex-husband was wearing the same clothes.
01:01He was my boyfriend.
01:02There are also those who aren't happy.
01:05It's not a good example for young people
01:07to wear clothes like that.
01:09Especially for men,
01:11who are wearing thick clothes.
01:13Move over,
01:14gentlemen,
01:15and hypebeasts.
01:17Because they are now
01:19the aesthetics.
01:21They call it, Geng-Geng.
01:25Geng-Geng is a slang word for gang.
01:28But to be clear,
01:30they're not looking for trouble.
01:32We're wearing the same clothes.
01:34Just like this Geng-Geng,
01:36from Apari, in Cagayan,
01:38the Boss Fit.
01:41The bossing of the Boss Fit
01:44is John Ald.
01:45In our area,
01:47they call me Boss Nald.
01:51I got the fit from the outfit.
01:54For you to fit in their group,
01:57you have to carry their uniform.
01:59According to them,
02:01it's inspired by Y2K
02:03or Year 2000 fashion.
02:05When they join the Boss Fit,
02:07they have to put their outfit on me first.
02:10Then,
02:11they have to mix the accessories
02:12for their clothes.
02:15For those who dream of being counted among them,
02:18this is the way
02:19to listen well.
02:21Number one,
02:22be open to all the differences.
02:24The Geng-Gengs
02:26love to mix and match
02:28and experiment
02:29with their outfits.
02:31Just like other of their male members,
02:34the clothes they wear are very discreet.
02:37Palda?
02:39Just like their style icon,
02:42he's the leader of all of them,
02:44the social media influencer,
02:46Kiel the Great.
02:48His style went viral
02:50when he was in VGC and Palda.
02:52That's when it all started.
02:56Because they admit that
02:58their over-the-top outfits are a bit expensive,
03:01they have their own discount
03:03to pull it off.
03:05Number two,
03:06Ukay Mastery.
03:07If you want to be a Geng-Geng,
03:08you have to be open to choosing Ukay-Ukay.
03:10You don't need expensive brands,
03:12as long as it fits your taste.
03:13Usually,
03:14we buy online.
03:16If we don't have enough budget,
03:18we go to Ukay.
03:20And because it's giving throwback
03:22and vintage,
03:23their vibe
03:24is getting more and more popular.
03:26My other members
03:28get it from their grandparents
03:30who are old
03:32and they customize it.
03:34Even if it's hot,
03:35it should still look good
03:37in the name of fashion.
03:40Number three,
03:41Laying Like A Pro.
03:42Layering the clothes
03:43needs to be enough
03:44and not too messy
03:45and not too plain.
03:46Even if their clothes are a bit thick,
03:49they won't be offended.
03:50They're bolder now.
03:51Their comfort is balanced.
03:53Even if it's layered,
03:54since it's a light layer,
03:56it still fits our vibe.
03:57Number four,
03:58Accessories Are Key.
03:59Wear chains,
04:01sunglasses,
04:02hats.
04:03The more, the merrier.
04:05And lastly,
04:06Walk With Confidence.
04:08They won't believe you
04:10if you doubt yourself.
04:12We're just happy with our outfits
04:14that's why our outfits are like this.
04:18This was only in November
04:19when Jonald created the Boss Fit.
04:21I posted on Facebook
04:23who joined my group
04:25and some people PMed me.
04:27Now,
04:28they have 70 members
04:30who gather every Sunday
04:33for a photoshoot.
04:34Our first photoshoot was at a mall.
04:37But their photoshoot
04:39is their own effort.
04:40They're the only ones
04:42who take their photos.
04:451, 2, 3, go!
04:50But,
04:51there are others who are watching them.
04:53They tell us
04:54that their hair is messy.
04:56They need to go to a mental hospital.
04:59They also say that it hurts
05:01but we just let it be.
05:03It's important
05:04that we have a strong self-worth.
05:07And this is what's still developing
05:09in an adolescent stage.
05:12This is what they call
05:13the concept of resilience.
05:14This is what they need to learn.
05:16This is the ability of a person
05:19to face negative feedback
05:21that doesn't affect
05:22what they think of themselves.
05:24What's important for them
05:26is that they found a group
05:28where they are free
05:30to express themselves.
05:32Before,
05:33my other members were shy.
05:34When they joined Boss Fit,
05:36their confidence was boosted
05:38and they weren't shy
05:39to wear their own outfits.
05:41Sarian
05:42admitted that she was a shy type.
05:45She was often bullied.
05:47Because of my heartache,
05:49I felt embarrassed.
05:51Until someone challenged her
05:53to join the group.
05:55My cousins,
05:56the members of Boss Fit,
05:57introduced me to them.
05:58I was encouraged to join.
06:00I felt like
06:01I was comfortable with them.
06:03They don't judge me
06:05for what I have.
06:07Where did she get her outfit from?
06:09I got my outfit from an online shop.
06:12I bought it
06:13when I was saving money in Baon.
06:16Not only do they teach
06:18their members
06:20how to dress up,
06:21but also how to avoid
06:23the bad things they do.
06:25One of the good things about Boss Fit
06:27is that other kids
06:29don't have to wear visuals
06:30or wear high heels.
06:31And for those who judge
06:33those who are just casual
06:34and pretentious,
06:36you are wrong.
06:39One of the members of Boss Fit,
06:41Stephen,
06:42is not only a slay in his looks,
06:45but also in his studies.
06:47Because Stephen is an honor student.
06:49I study well
06:51and I'm still an honor student
06:52even though I joined this.
06:54Before he became a gangster,
06:55Stephen's looks were just basic.
06:58Until he learned how to explore.
07:01When I started wearing a skirt,
07:03I was a bit embarrassed to go out
07:05because they might be wondering
07:07why men are wearing skirts.
07:09They don't have the right
07:10to bash my outfit
07:11because they are not the ones
07:13buying this.
07:14That's why he's confident now.
07:18No cap, wear a bola.
07:20We also go out
07:21everywhere,
07:22to the mall,
07:23to the church,
07:24here in the park.
07:25It's a big influence
07:26for every group
07:27to express themselves.
07:30This Sunday,
07:31the members of Boss Fit
07:33gathered again
07:34in a park in Apari.
07:36Our team invited
07:38an event photographer
07:39for your pictorial.
07:42Really sir?
07:44Yes!
07:46Yes!
08:02It's fun because
08:03it's our first time
08:04to experience a photoshoot.
08:05The fashion statement
08:06shows openness.
08:08Sometimes when you do
08:09a fashion statement,
08:10it's like counterculture.
08:12It's like you're not
08:13following the fashion
08:14that is a typical
08:15norm of fashion
08:16of that time.
08:17Gang fashion
08:18is like a fashion statement
08:20and yet,
08:21young people
08:22are enjoying it.
08:24They're just wearing that
08:25and it's better
08:26to know
08:27their true identity.
08:29Isn't it that
08:30every generation
08:31has their own way
08:33to express themselves
08:35and their style?
08:39No trip is wasted!
