A beautiful glimpse at the Filipino-Chinese community
“Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.” — Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
Showing off their fit and impressive physiques were the Mr. and Ms. Chinatown 2016 candidates during an exclusive fashion show dubbed “1594” held at Chaos in City of Dreams Manila, Pasay City.
Fifteen male and 15 female candidates opened the show wearing exquisite collections of “Queen of Wraps” Ditta Sandico and multi-awarded fashion accessory designer Ann Ong.
The candidates also took the runway wearing swimwear pieces by Domz Ramos and Julius Jaguio of Pegarro Swim, and stunning pieces of jewelry by one of the country’s premier jewellery salons Hoseki.
On hand to ensure everything went well were the hardworking Miss Chinatown Foundation chairman Wilson Agbayani and executive director Alexis Go together with Chinoy TV president and CEO Alvin Tan and City of Dreams Manila vice president of gaming operations Kevin Benning.
Directed by Bernard Maybituin, the event had The Oriental Group, Status Hair Salon and West Avenue Suites among its sponsors.
Congratulations to the whole Miss Chinatown Foundation team for staging this highly successful affair!
