School runnings

Manual, the men’s fashion magazine from MMPI, threw a hot and fabulous swimsuit party at the metro’s hippest hotspot Fiamma. Manila’s finest and most gorgeous party people got together in their sexy laidback outfits as they bid summer goodbye.

Highlighting the evening was a spectacular, jaw-dropping fashion show directed by Avi Siwa and hosted by Manual’s editor in chief RJ Ledesma. The industry’s sexiest models sashayed down Fiamma’s elegant stairway in Docker’s summerwear and stunning bikinis from Quicksilver. Among the arresting eye candy were Maui Taylor and Viva Hot Babe Sheree who drew hoards of cheers from an excited crowd.

Actually I didn’t cheat often. But I used to print answers on acetate!

Which subject would you like to relearn today?

Philosophy. It’s always helpful when reevaluating an individual’s character.

In school, did you actually keep notes of the lesson or did you rely on your seatmate’s?

I took my own notes because they helped me understand and remember the lessons better.

How did you deal with school bullies?

During high school in Canada, I was part of a group of Filipinos named the Flip Posse who stuck together. Being Filipino was the cool thing, so that was my way of getting away from the bullies. There’s strength in numbers.

What was the most fashionable statement you made during your school days?

I studied in a Catholic high school in the province and the clothing policy was really strict. On civilian days I started wearing leggings with miniskirts because we weren’t allowed to wear anything above the knee. All the other girls started wearing the same thing!
