Originally scheduled for September 19 at the same venue, the show was postponed to Saturday due to bad weather brought about by Tropical Storm Mario.
Georgina Wilson and Borgy Manotoc opened the show. She had earlier asked fans to arrive on time, announcing that they would open the evening. She walked the runway in a sexy-sporty black and white set and sky-high heels.
Fellow it girl Solenn Heussaff took to the stage in a black ensemble with matching black garters and an embellished fascinator.
Paulo Avelino, also one of the main centerfolds of this year’s Cosmo bachelors, confidently walked the stage, at one point raising both arms, rallying the crowd.
Enchong Dee also had the crowd shouting when he stripped off his white shorts and finished his turn on the catwalk in a pair of dark undies.
Jake Cuenca had the audience in a frenzy, too.
Transgender model and Rappler Profile Geena Rocero also made a runway statement at this show as well.

Athletic models and performers also performed acrobatic-inspired moves on the elliptical stage.
