The girl on the far left is wearing on her right arm a "tinali". This is a traditional arm ornament among women of the Itnegs/Tinguians in Abra. The "tinali" is composed of strings of colorful beads tied together to form a sleeve.
I thought the "tinali" was only worn on the lower arm. But as the photo shows, it's also worn on the upper arm. I checked historical photos of Itneg/Tinguian people to verify and yes, the women indeed wore the "tinali" on the biceps as well.
