Philippine Fashion Week Holiday 2011: Bench Fashion Show Models Line-up

Bench Clothing has revealed the line-up of celebrity models who will participate in the Philippine Fashion Week Holiday 2011 scheduled on May 8, 6 PM, at the SMX Convention Center Halls 1 & 2, Seashell Lane, Mall of Asia Complex.

A total of 40 Bench celebrity models will walk the fashion ramp this May 8 and leading the pack of hunks who you love to see modeling for Bench are Diether Ocampo (who is always present whenever there is a Bench fashion show), Dingdong Dantes, Piolo Pascual, Zanjoe Marudo, Gerald Anderson, Coco Martin, Rafael Rosell, Jake Cuenca and many more.

Nice to see Azkals' Fil-European player Mark McMahon being part of the line-up as one of the newest Bench models. You'll love him more after the fashion show.

I'm sure AJ Perez, who was also a Bench model before he died, was supposed to be part of the Bench Fashion Show in the Philippine Fashion Week Holiday 2011. He's one of the newest Bench models introduced this year along with his "Sabel" co-star Joseph Marco who, as you can see, is part of the line-up in the PFW Holiday 2011.

Had it been AJ is still alive, this upcoming Bench show in the PFW will be AJ's first fashion show for Bench.

Binibining Pilipinas 2011 Parade of Beauties and Pageant Primer today, April 3

Binibining Pilipinas 2011 Grand Coronation Night is happening exactly a week from now and definitely the 40 Binibining Pilipinas 2011 candidates are all set and ready to vie for the three titles at stake.

Who will be the next Bb. Pilipinas 2011 titleholders?

But before that tense-filled pageant finale which will be aired on ABS-CBN this April 10, big things are happening first today, April 3, 2011.

First is the Parade of Beauties at 4PM, which is the pageant's way of officially welcoming the Summer.

It's your chance to see the beautiful candidates in their swimsuits as they ride in festive floats and tour around the Araneta Center.

The parade starts at Balay Expo in EDSA corner Gen. MacArthur Avenue then ends at the Gateway Pavillion.

For your guide, here's a map of the route for today's Parade of Beauties:

Also happening today is the telecast of the pageant primer which was taped last week at the Republiq.

The Binibining Pilipinas 2011 Road to the Crown pre-pageant primer will be airing tonight on ABS-CBN's Sunday's Best right after The Sharon Cuneta Specials.

It's hosted by Binibining Pilipinas-Universe 2010 Maria Venus Raj, TV host/reporter TJ Manotoc and his brother, model Borgy Manotoc.

Included in the primer is the National Costume Competition which was won by Candidate #2 Elizabeth Clenci.

Borgy Manotoc is back as Bench Body model

Borgy Manotoc is returning as a Bench model, posing in his underwear for the new Bench Body ads.

Now 27 years old, Borgy was one of the first hunky models of Bench along with Marc Nelson and Diether Ocampo, the time when the said fashion brand had only a few image models, unlike now when they have lots of celebs modeling for them, including Borgy's rumored girlfriend Georgina Wilson.

Borgy first modeled for Bench when he was only 17 and continued until the next 3 to 4 years. He was notable for endorsing Bench Body Spray.

Welcome back Borgy!
