&quot;May bibe na ba lahat?&quot;&nbsp;The Department of Education on Friday said it sees no problem with students or even teachers wearing duck hair clips after the fashion accessory became a hit among Filipinos.DepEd deputy spokesman Francis Bringas said he also bought his own duck hair clip in Binondo recently.&nbsp;&quot;It&#39;s just a fad. It&rsquo;s a hair accessory, siguro it won&rsquo;t hurt the class kung meron extra accessory sa ulo. I don&rsquo;t think it will bothersome for many,&quot; he said in a TeleRadyo Serbisyo interview.&nbsp;Even teachers can wear the duck hair clips, Bringas said, which he said is no different to hair ribbons or headbands.&nbsp;&quot;The teacher is the bigger motivator in the classroom...If he or she finds it really appropriate to get the learners to pay attention, so be it,&quot; the spokesperson added.&nbsp;The origins of the hair clip trend can be traced back to China in 2015, where it first gained traction. However, it wasn&#39;t ducks that adorned heads but rather bean sprouts or small plants.In the Philippines, it first gained popularity in Baguio City in 2023 before spreading like wildfire nationwide. A professor of popular culture at the University of the Philippines Diliman said the popularity of hair duck clips shows the bandwagon syndrome among Filipinos.&quot;Kung anong uso, gaya-gaya tayo, meron tayong bandwagon syndrome na tinatawag. Ayaw nating maiwan,&quot; Dr. Jimmuel Naval, dean of the UP College of Arts and Letters, said.The bandwagon syndrome can also be seen not just in fashion but in other fads such as food.&nbsp;&quot;Nung araw hindi naman tayo umiinom ng kape. Ngayon, may Starbucks. (Di naman tayo umiinom ng) tea na may gatas, ngayon may milk tea,&quot; he said.&nbsp;He said fads usually fade after 3 to 6 months. In the case of the duck hair clips, he noted that a lot of people are earning from the fashion craze.&nbsp;&quot;Maraming kumikita rito, parang small scale ito, parang underground economy. Sana hindi mawala, sana hindi magsawa &#39;yung mga tao. Bahagi na &#39;yan ng buhay ng mga Pilipino. Atsaka hindi naman kamahalan,&quot; he said.&nbsp;
