Filipina Fashion Model Phen Madrigal

Having worked in the fashion industry since she was sixteen, Filipina professional model Phen Madrigal has strut her stuff on catwalks all across Asia. Name a fashionable Asian country, and she’s probably already modeled there: Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand, Macau, even China. The cuisine of Japan is a particular favorite of hers: she appreciates the discipline required in its preparation. She’s been all over and done all that, and she’s barely out of her teens.

Like many international fashion models, Phen has developed quite a passion for shopping. She boasts an impressive collection of Louis Vuitton bags, with Prada and Chanel on the side. In case prospective suitors want to add something to her collection, she dreams of owning a Hermes.

As adventurous as she is cosmopolitan, Phen loves to get wet and wild with water sports. When she’s not buying designer leather across Asia’s most happening cities, you’ll find her surfing and wakeboarding across the Philippines’ most beautiful beaches.

You would think that a woman with such a well-developed taste for travel and adventure and luxury wouldn’t be very down-to-earth. You’d be wrong. Phen grew up in the mountains of Baguio, having moved to the Philippine capital of Manila only three years ago. In matters of health and the heart, she’s very much the fresh-air mountain lass. She has no vices: she doesn’t drink, and she doesn’t smoke. She also rejects the bluster and bravado of the big-city bad boys of Manila, preferring instead the nice respectful highland boys of Baguio. Even her favorite book is all about staying grounded: The Purpose Driven Life.

Take note, guys: if you’re going to get her that Hermes, you’d better be totally nice about it. Be funny, too: Phen likes guys with a sense of humor.

Phen is a study in contrasts: a jet-set cosmopolitan surfer girl who’s into nice guys and clean living. Her smile is as sweet as her personality, her look as classy as her lifestyle. This fine Filipina combines the best of two opposing archetypes: the sophisticated model and the charming country girl.
