This is a recap of the second episode of Project Runway Philippines.  The first episode was received with mixed reactions from all over the world.  Some say that the show sucks, and many say that the show is at par with the other international franchises of Project Runway.  It is interesting to note that many have observed that the designers from the Philippines are actually better than some of the designers from the other international franchises, and even the current season of Project Runway in the US.  Curious much, read on.

We will not be dishing out personal commentary on the designers and their garments, the hosts, judges, the easter eggs, the continuity issues, and the production value of the show.  (Uhm, we’ll try.)

The show started with a recap of key scenes from the pilot episode.  In the pocket interview cum confessional of Aries Lagat, he shared that he felt awful and sad due to Loida Hunter’s elimination.  He recounted that in his last interview, he said some  bad things about Loida and for wanting her out of the show.

Teresa Herrera appeared on the runway and welcomed the designers. The models were brought out and Teresa announced that the winning model will get a fashion spread in Mega Magazine. The designers were asked to pick their models.  Aries Lagat, winner of the previous challenge got first dibs at choosing a model and he traded his model for another one.  Teresa then picked the order of selection by drawing out buttons with names of the designers from the velvet bag (first time to be used in the show). Except for one designer (Ivan?) who picked the model abandoned by Aries, all the other designers stuck with their own models. (See Summary table towards end of this entry).
