All geared up for the grandest and most prestigous modelling competition across Asia – 2017 Asia New Star Model Contest, Face of the Philippines (FOP) has just concluded its search for Cycle 3 male/female top model and named Rizza Decena as the grand winner to represent our country. Rizza, along with other models and runner-ups, are set to compete with other model bets from over 20 Asian countries at the 7th Asia New Star Model Contest at South Korea for the coveted Face Of Asia Grand Prize.
