The University of Santo Tomas in Manila, Philippines uses a system of academic dress at ceremonial occasions for its degree candidates/holders.
[1][2] The customs and styles are heavily influenced by the traditions of the Spanish universities.
The full academic dress is worn during solemn investiture ceremonies and special occasions, such as, Misa de Apertura, or the Mass of the Holy Spirit, and on installation of a new rector.
It is worn over a formal suit, cassock, barong tagalog, or the college uniform.
The Ecclesiastical faculties adapt the color system used in Pontifical universities.
