In the "VOGUE" report, Apo Whang-Od is in the same frame as a young woman. It turns out that this is her grandniece Grace Palicas, because the ancient tattooing techniques can only be passed on to blood-related descendants under traditional norms. One generation, so Apo Whang-Od is training his two grandnieces Grace Palicas and Elyang Wigan.
The reason why Apo Whang-Od was invited to appear on the cover, Bea Valdes, editor-in-chief of "VOGUE" Philippines, said that this was a unanimous decision of the staff of the publication, because Apo Whang-Od represented the culture and beauty of the Philippines.
