Meet the 2 Pinays in Asia’s Next Top Model Cycle 6

The Asian version of the well-known Top Model franchise “Asia’s Next Top Model” is set to begin its sixth season next month and it has recently released their list of contestants.

Two Filipino models, Adela-Mae Marshall and Jach Manere, will be the country’s representative this season.

The website of the Asia’s Next Top Model describes the 21-year-old model as “quirky and full of energy, one might find her insensitive at times – but don’t underestimate this perfectionist who hates to fail and won’t give up without a fight”.

Once upon a time there was a mermaid. She’s the princess of the Seas named Cinderella. And she has nothing to do with this post. ✨

On the other hand, Marshall said that she is “ready to chase her dreams of international recognition; bringing not only beauty but also all-around skills in swimming and music”.

“Her serious demeanor can come across as snobbish, but just talk to her and see how she brings a room to life,” Marshall’s bio on the official website reads.
