It was Gaffud who groomed international beauty queens Miss Universe 2015 Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach and Miss World 2013 Megan Lynne Young. He is also the creative director for Miss Universe Philippines Brand under IMG Universe.

Gaffud added: "Global Asian Model aims to discover fresh talents for entertainment, pageantry, and fashion. Those who will be chosen will get the guidance and training of reputable and respected names in the industry to bring out their full potential."

Manhunt International remains to be the most esteemed male modeling competition in the world, he said.

"One winner from Global Asian Model Philippines shall be awarded Manhunt Philippines and will get the chance to represent our country in the much-awaited 20th Edition to be held in Manila in January 2020," Gaffud said.

Vincent Llorach of Spain will be passing on his title during the international competition.

Adding another title to the Global Asian Model Philippine Search is The Supermodel International to be held in Chiangmai, Thailand in 2020.


"Supermodel International is a global event integrating every woman’s beauty, talent, and cultural communication," he also said.

The inaugural edition of Miss Charm International will be held in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam from January 3rd to 20th, 2020.

Miss Charm International is an event that emphasizes the beauty of the soul, intelligence, talent and image of women all over the world.

"I hope I can make them international models. We give cash prize but here, we guarantee them jobs. This search is not just for modelling. It is also for entertainment. May nakikita ako sa kanila na puwedeng mag-host, maging beauty queen, or artista. A lot of my friends in the fashion industry will really help them out," said Gaffud.

Asked how they chose the 36 finalists, Gaffud said: "We looked for stage presence and face for commercial value." - Robert Requintina
