Females should be at least 5’8” and male models at least 5”11”. Please bring your portfolio and set card.

For the past 25 years, the Professional Models Association of the Philippines (PMAP) has been the only non-profit organization established by models and run by the models themselves. A cross between an association and a union, the organization continues to protect, uplift, and professionalize the modeling industry in the Philippines. PMAP dramatically improved the working conditions for models and professionalized the modeling landscape for the last two decades. Today, it continues to be a key force in the development and success of the local fashion industry.
