Tugonon was the first runner up to Olivia Culpo at the 2012 Miss Universe pageant, while Jordan was second runner up in 2015, placing below Miss Colombia Ariadna Gutierrez and Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach.

The 12 NU Muses will be featured in a calendar shot by David Bellemere.

Bellemere along with treats! Magazine's Steve Shaw are looking to revisit the classic art of nude and "capture the elegance and romance of the female form, worthy of gracing fine art galleries and walls."

The final list of muses will be revealed on September 28. — AT, GMA News
