Meet The Contestants Of Philippines’ Next Top Model Cycle 1 (Rewind)

Since I love watching a few Next Top Model series (esp Australia, the US and Asia), I thought of posting The Philippines’ very own  version of the hit reality modeling competition. The first Philippines’ Next Top Model first aired in 2007 broadcasted by the now defunct RPN 9. It was hosted by Ruffa Guttierez and the judges includes Wilma Doesn’t, Pauline Sauco-Juan, Robby Carmona, Vince Uy and Xander Angeles. The winner of this cycle “won” a modeling representation with Starz People Hong Kong, an editorial fashion spread in Preview Magazine, US$10,000  c/o Mane and TailShampoo, a P150,000 modeling contract with SAGA Events, a one-year local endorsement campaign from L’Oreal Paris, one-year complimentary treatments from Marie France and Facial Care Center and a south sea pearl necklace  from Jewelmer, and the title “Jewelmer’s Amabassador to the World.” – that’s a whole lot of prize to be honest! Of course, we already know the winner of this so far “only” cycle of Philippines’ Next Top Model but won’t it be great to take a glimpse again of the photo shoots  our own version had? First, I present to you the name of the 14 finalists.

Souvenir
Morong, Bataan, July 2013

This was a very pretty key chain which I bought in Bataan when our team went to Island Waters Resort in the town of Morong. It was my second time in Morong and at the resort and I wasn’t able to buy a material souvenir the first time around so here’s the my little memento from the beautiful Morong.

Is this the start of Shanali domination? Like what I’ve said about her last week’s amazing photo, she could very well be the winner of this season. Abbie and Melissa – you gotta bring it girls!

She’s the client choice and is now the face of Colgate Optic White Ad Campaign! Good job Jade! Do I like this photo? Nah.

Dajana

Dajana

Dajana’s looking great here and her smile doesn’t look force at all. I told you guys, she’s got something!

Shanali

Shanali

Shanali reminds me of the exotic beauty of Sam back in Cycle 4. Shanali may very well be the winner of this cycle if she continue to produce amazing shot like this!

Shannon

Shannon

This is just awkward. Shannon needs to go next. She has no variety.

Ashley

Ashley

Bottom two with Shannon next week please!

Abbie

Abbie

Abbie’s becoming a force in the competition. She’s slowly gunning her prowess to conquer this cycle! Slowly but surely…

Melissa

Melissa

This isn’t a good shot of Melissa at all and do you guys think they’re sabotaging her photos? Methink so.

Madeline

Madeline

I was never a fan of Madeline until this shot came out. Here, I see a beautiful commercial / high fashion model and I think it’s more decent than Shannon. Too little too late for her? Sadly, yes. So long Miss Madeline!

I just love this wall from Pan de Americana in Marikina. The whole vibe of the place is cool and this has got to be my favorite part of it! Their wall of fame where pictures of Filipino celebrities from the past are framed individually!
