For three years, I have photographed actress and supermodel Angel Aquino for The Spa, a premier chain of luxurious spas in the Philippines, and at each time, I am mesmerized by just how gloriously beautiful a Filipina can be. Practically speechless, I would go through twenty minutes of shooting her with hardly a word of direction coming from me -- the woman knows exactly what to do and say with her expressions. She is to me, the quintessence of what a model should be.
