After five cycles of Asia’s Next Top Model (AsNTM), we finally have our first Filipina grand winner. She’s none other than Maureen Wroblewitz.
The youngest and shortest among all the contestants, Maureen has been “bullied” throughout the competition by fellow models. The other ladies often mocked her for having just a pretty face but with poor modeling skills. In the end, the Filipina stood out from the rest for her grace and exuberant confidence.
INSTA SCOOP: Filipina model Jodilly Pendre, who was a runner-up in AsNTM Cycle 2, was with Maureen and her other friends at the AsNTM Cycle 5 Grand Finale Live Viewing Party at the Palace Pool Club in Manila. While doing an Instagram LIVE after the winner’s announcement, she said: “Finally, nabawi na ang korona... justice has been served.”
Was Jodilly implying something else? After all, there were some speculations that she should have won during her season, and yet the producers decided to pass the title to someone else. Hmmm, interesting!
