Philippines’ Next Top Model

Updated on October 28, 2010

Is there Philippines’ Next Top Model? Well, there was. I’ve read, there’s gonna be another season coming up. In this hub, let’s have the latest season that was shown…

I’m one of those who love watching and following America’s Next Top Model. I have the complete dvd of each season and sometimes I replay the episodes that I enjoyed watching the most. It’s a very entertaining reality contest. My favorite parts are always the makeover and commercial episodes. In each season, there would always be some twists and surprises and hell lot of fights, drama and comedy. So this famous modeling show had franchises to some other countries like Canada, Australia, Thailand and many more. One day it made me wondering what about the Philippines…was there a version of Philippines’ next top model here? After publishing my hub about the list of top modeling agencies here, I googled and searched about PNTM, ok Philippines’ next top model. To my surprise, there was.

Holly crickets! Why the hell I missed that?! So Philippines’ Next Top Model aired last 2007. I couldn’t believe my lovely shoes didn’t go to that route before. So I checked it again and wiki says it really is PNTM. And the official top model logo is there, too. Where was I last 2007? Heck, that famous show must have been shown in the most famous channel so it wouldn’t be missed.

Philippines’ Next Top Model Season 1

According to dear wiki, the first season and only season of Philippine’s next top model that’s been shown here was shot in Victoria City, Hongkong. How lovely! The ever beautiful Miss World second princess, Ruffa Gutierrez hosted the show which had run in 13 episodes. There were fourteen aspiring models and just like the original ANTM, these model wanna bes had done numerous photo shoots, and fabulous tasks on all episodes, there’s elimination as well on every episode. Wait, there have been cases of a double elimination or no elimination at all for some episodes. How interesting. Unlike ANTM, the show has used Ruffa-text instead of the usual Tyra-mail. Oh, how cute! By the way there’s an explanation about that. It’s because the Philippines is known as the number one texting capital of the world.

The judging panel was composed of Wilma Doesn’t, Pauline Sauco-Juan, Robby Carmona, Vince Uy and Xander Angeles.

Philippines’ Next Top Model Winner

The first season has been won by Grendel Alvarado. She received a modeling representation with Starz People in Hong Kong, an editorial fashion spread in Preview magazine, US$10,000 courtesy of Mane and Tail Shampoo, a 150,000 PHP modeling contract with Saga Events, a one-year local endorsement campaign from L'Oréal Paris, one-year complimentary treatments from Marie France and Facial Care Center, a south sea pearl necklace from Jewelmer, and the title "Jewelmer’s Pearl Ambassador to the World. She’s a beauty and a model, ha just stunning!

Philippines’ Next Top Model Season 2

Ok so I heard they’re planning to continue the next season for Philippines’ Next Top Model. That’s good news not only for aspiring Filipino models but to avid fans and viewers of top model series, too. So dear ABS CBN or GMA 7, what are you waiting for?! This is gonna be a fabulous show.

According to insiders, Solar Entertainment is considering resurrecting the series to air on a cable network here. And guess who’s the host gonna be…Angel Aquino! She’s rumored to be the host and head-judge of the show. Holly H, that lady looks so perfect for it. She’s so gorgeous and model like. She looks like a mannequin. Ruffa suits it, too. Since Angel Aquino is in the moment involved with a fashion TV series, why not have her. Gretchen Barreto could be a good judge whaddaya think folks? Just an opinion. Anywayz, the names of Wilma Doesnt, Filipino-Black supermodel, Raymond Isaac, noted Filipino Photographer and Rene Salud, designer and fashion authority have come up as possible judges. It’s gonna be cool! Bring it on networks!
