Modeling in Manila
Hi all, I am wondering what kind of market is in Manila? Is it a fashion market or does it have a lot of commercial? What is the pay like? Any additional information is appreciated! Thanks so much!

The pay has such a wide range. You should see if you can talk with an agency. If they take you they tend to have quite a bit of work. Much of it is runway and local work though. I doubt it can compete financially with countries that make international work. Sep 27 16 01:43 am Link th3shred wrote: Manila - rated in the top 5 for the most beautiful women in the world. Right up there with England and South Korea. Economy is tough but US$ goes far. Travel there is long and expensive. Go to Japan instead. Oct 11 16 11:53 am Link |
