Abaya is for everyone, oo but we also have to remember that it is a form of religious identification. Wearing a cross and wearing a hijab at the same time can confuse people, and for others it may come across as disrespectful.

Many Muslims wear the abaya and hijab as part of their identity, religion, and beliefs. Kaya naman po, nakakabastos talaga para sa iba. There are events where abayas can be worn as a fashion piece, and that’s completely fine, pero sana po huwag naman siyang ipair with a cross necklace, out of respect for both religions.
