Models have always been looked up to for their exceptional beauty and the way they confidently carry themselves, regardless if it's on TV, print, or the runway.
Filipinos have long been obsessed with beauty pageants, always rooting for our country's representative to bring home that coveted crown.
But aside from Filipina beauty queens, our country has also produced models who can definitely slay the runway or shine effortlessly in beauty and fashion campaigns.
The beauty of Filipino women, much like crayons in a box, comes in different forms or hues because of our country's rich history and culture.
Since we have been colonized before by the Spaniards and Americans, some of us have the mestiza beauty, characterized by a fair complexion and tall nose.
Meanwhile, some of us have more Asian looks, taking after the chinky eyes of our Chinese or Japanese ancestors.
And some of us have that unique Pinay beauty with beautiful morena complexion revered by foreigners.
But regardless if Pinay models have foreign blood or not, they can very well standout and excel in the modeling world, just like Reins Mika, the first Filipina Digital Creator winner in the prestigious Elite Model Look competition.
And while most of us learned how to smize from supermodel Tyra Banks, some Filipina models have mastered this trick even before it was made popular in a reality model competition.
Over the years, we've seen many beautiful Filipina models grace magazine covers or features, star in TV commercials, have their faces displayed on billboards and product labels, or even crossover to mainstream showbiz.
Some of them have had the opportunity to make it to the international modeling scene through competitions, while some have become established names in the modeling industry in the Philippines.
Some have also ventured into different careers or have founded their own businesses or left the limelight to settle down.
Find out where some of the famous Filipina models are now and what they've been up to in the gallery below.
