Bench Body Fashion Show 2013 - Philippine Fashion Week Holiday Collection

Bench Body Fashion Show 2013 for Philippine Fashion Week Holiday Collection 2013. Paolo Roldan walked together with other models and celebrities like Jennylyn Mercado, Borgy Manotoc, Philippine Volcanoes, the twins Anthony and David and other local and foreign models. The highlight of the night was the international model Paolo Roldan, a Filipino-Canadian which his billboards at the Guadalupe-Makati Bridge.They occupy function hall 3 & 4 of SMX Convention Center, Pasay City is one of the venue for Philippine Fashion Week 2013. I like the technical effects, graphics and sound technology of the fashion show plus the video projected on the screen make the show more dramatic, fancy and cool. The opening act was so cool - featuring dancers swinging and bending their bodies to the beat of music and patterns projected on screen. The event was too fun and creative, which been off around 10:00pm. We all enjoyed watching the show and until next time for Bench Fashion Show at Araneta Coliseum which big star is gathering every year. 

Meet & Greet with Paolo Roldan during Bench Fashion Show 2013

Paolo Roldan in Manila, Philippines. We got a chance to meet and greet personally with Paolo Roldan , a Filipino-Canadian model as a newest brand ambassador of Bench Body. Did you know that this model posed naked for Givenchy on the cover of Vogue Paris (June 2010). He is very kind man, fluent in English and always smile to his fans. This was our first time to meet this guy, so we decided to take more photos including some of the models and guest like Champ Pio of Hale, BB Gandang Hari, Lauren Uy, Philippine Volcanoes Team, Semerald Twins (Anthony & David), and many more. I know that Bench Body would all proud of it and confidently compete with other international or imported brands nowadays. So seeing Bench Body models during the Philippine Fashion Week 2013 was truly amazing and awesome.

Sagada Lemon Pie House in Mountain Province

Jane and I, decided to try out some restaurant in the area. We checked our map and list of tourist attraction in Sagada which I printed before the day of our trip from Banaue -Bontoc - Sagada. So, I listed down this restaurant and cafe as part of our itinerary. Where to eat in Sagada? Well I was confident enough to recommend you this restaurant & cafe which is known to be the best lemon pie in Sagada. I was previously reading about the good comments and reviews of Sagada Lemon Pie House. We ordered three slices of lemon pie and two brewed coffee. It is a wonderful place to dine, relax, eat and enjoy your wooden furniture over a cup of coffee with you. As per our guide, the abundance of lemons in Sagada pushed through to create a perfect dessert during a trip in Sagada. Over the years of experimenting the perfect taste of lemon pie until the perfect blend of tangy and sweet are made. I admit that Sagada is a top tourist destination in the north and is flocked both local and foreign tourist. 

The Famous Echo Valley in Sagada Mountain Province

We took about 20-30 minutes walking time at the center of town proper. You will find yourself here a very nice scenery on a ledge fronting many trees, wild flowers, mountains and limestone formation. Why is that they named Echo Valley? Because echoes can be heard in the valley if you shout loud enough to hear in other part of the mountain. As first time traveler in Sagada, you must know and make a research about the top tourist attraction of the place you want to visit. There are a lot of bloggers, travelers and foreign tourist wanted to go to Sagada in Mountain Province because of a relaxing ambiance over the big trees and mountains but the hospitality and caring of people in Sagada. Did you know that Sagada has a zero crime rates. A Sagada experience getaway will not be complete without going to the Echo Valley and seeing the famous Hanging Coffins which is even only in the Philippines. Next part of our itinerary was a trip to Kapay-aw Rice Terraces ,Sumaguing Cave and Touring Around the Town.
