While we’re patiently and excitedly awaiting for the next episode of project Runway Philippines (click here to view UPDATED PROJECT RUNWAY PHILIPPINES SCHEDULE OF AIRING), why don’t we do a quick rundown of words, statements, and lines from the pilot episode, which are quite memorable and may become eventual buzzwords and statements:
Teresa Herrera
- Ingat.
- In fashion, not everyone will make a good fit.
Jojie Lloren
- I will be your mentor, and also your tormentor.
- You know, I just can’t imagine that on a human figure.
- So it’s really a poncho.
- It’s like green pancakes.
Rajo Laurel
- I’d say, put it back on!
- The black and the orange actually reminds me a bit of Halloween.
- Nakakatakot!
Bo Parcon
- There’s one designer here, Ivan, nung nakita ko siya, personality itself it’s not fashionable.
- Fashion is my passion… This is me. They’re going to love me or hate me, so wala akong pakialam (I don’t care).

Since this is a franchise of a very famous and international reality TV series, we cannot help but compare the show to the original Project Runway series. I am a fan of the US series and have watched all the seasons (1 to 4 and currently watching 5) of Project Runway (US) hosted by Heidi Klum and Mentored by Tim Gunn. I have also watched the first seasons of both Project Catwalk (UK)  hosted by Elizabeth hurley and Mentored by Ben de Lisi  and Project Runway Canada, hosted by Iman and mentored by Brian Bailey.
Please bear in mind though that this will not be a review, but more of a recap of the whole first episode of Project Runway Philippines. This blog is not in any way affiliated with the producers of the show, the contestants, or the airing networks (ETC and SBN21).
Let’s begin the show!
The show opened with a typical Project Runway OBB where the designers, host Teresa Herrera and mentor Jojie Lloren talk about the show and themselves. The designers then started arriving at Amorsolo Mansions, the official residences of the contestants.

Introductions were made, roommates were known, old friends were reunited.

After the designers have settled in their official residences, they received the Project Runway welcome letter which asked them to leave all their belongings and head to their welcome celebration. The designers then headed to the Liwasang Bonifacio (close to the Philippine Post Office and Intramuros) where Teresa and Jojie welcomed them. In similar fashion to other Project Runway shows, Project Runway Philippines welcomed the designers to the show with celebratory drinks. As if showing the world an identity for Project Runway Philippines, the drinks were… drumroll please… BUKO JUICE! While all the other seasons and shows I’ve seen had champagne, PR Philippines had Buko Juice! Toast, the tropical way! There’s nothing wrong with fresh coconut juice (straight from the shell). It can actually reflect the tropical climate of the country as well as the freshness and uniqueness of our designs. See? May relate!

It’s the season for more fashion as the rainy season ushers in two new fashion reality series on TV!

The much-awaited Project Runway Philippines will start airing on ETC beginning July 30 (10:00 PM). The Philippine franchise of the Bravo Network’s Project Runway (which will be moving to Lifetime Network after the current season) will be the first show of its kind in the Philippines. We hope though that the show will not be a flop, like the not-so-talked-about Philippines’ Next Top Model.

Project Runway Philippines is produced by Unitel Productions and will be airing on ETC Entertainment Central on cable and on SBN 21 on free TV. The show is hosted by Teresa Herrera and will have Jojie Lloren as the mentor. Resident judges will be Apples Aberin-Sadwhani and Rajo Laurel.
(Since there will be another Philippine Fashion Week in October, I guess the top 3 designers will showcase their collections there too.)
So will this show find the country’s next big Filipino fashion designer? I guess we all will find out together!
