3 Filipinas on Asian Top Model Cycle 5

In 3 of the past 4 cycles of Asia's Next Top Model, the Philippines is always represented in the Finale. But a Filipina has never won. 

In cycle 5, with the addition of Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach as guest judge, three Filipinas will compete to make it to the top. Can Team Philippines make it this time? 

First, here are out contestants. 

1. Anjelica Santillan is 22 years old and hopes to launch her modeling career in order to help support her mom and brother. If modeling doesn't work out, she'll be an international flight attendant or will study law.
