PMAP celebrates 20 years in catwalks

The Philippine Models Association of the Philippines (PMAP) celebrated their 20th anniversary last September 5 at The Peninsula Manila filled with nostalgia of fashion's past and present.

Two decades ago, Tina Maristela Ocampo, Ronnie Asuncion, and Robert David joined forces and created an organization aiming to “uplift, protect, and professionalize the modeling industry in the Philippines”.

PMAP was the first and only Asian association of models organized by models.

The celebration with a theme "Twenty Years of PMAP," showcased works by Auggie Cordero, Inno Sotto, Rajo Laurel, Ivarluski Aseron, Avel Bacudio, Vittorio, Mike de la Rosa, and Patrice Ramos-Diaz. The creations of Rhett Eala, Lulu Tan Gan, Antonio Garcia, Marden Iglesias, Gerry Katigbak, Jojie Lloren, Dennis Lustico, Anthony Nocom, Randy Ortiz, Frederick Peralta, Renee Salud, and Joey Samson were also modeled by past and current models of PMAP.
