Bench Clothing has revealed the line-up of celebrity models who will participate in the Philippine Fashion Week Holiday 2011 scheduled on May 8, 6 PM, at the SMX Convention Center Halls 1 & 2, Seashell Lane, Mall of Asia Complex.

A total of 40 Bench celebrity models will walk the fashion ramp this May 8 and leading the pack of hunks who you love to see modeling for Bench are Diether Ocampo (who is always present whenever there is a Bench fashion show), Dingdong Dantes, Piolo Pascual, Zanjoe Marudo, Gerald Anderson, Coco Martin, Rafael Rosell, Jake Cuenca and many more.

Nice to see Azkals' Fil-European player Mark McMahon being part of the line-up as one of the newest Bench models. You'll love him more after the fashion show.

Here's the full Bench line-up for the Philippine Fashion Week Holiday 2011:

I'm sure AJ Perez, who was also a Bench model before he died, was supposed to be part of the Bench Fashion Show in the Philippine Fashion Week Holiday 2011. He's one of the newest Bench models introduced this year along with his "Sabel" co-star Joseph Marco who, as you can see, is part of the line-up in the PFW Holiday 2011.

Had it been AJ is still alive, this upcoming Bench show in the PFW will be AJ's first fashion show for Bench.

Angelica Panganiban, Best Actress (Comedy/Musical) at Enpress Awards 2011

Angelica Panganiban has won Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role for Musical or Comedy in the 8th ENPRESS Golden Screen Awards for Movies held last night, April 2, 2011, at the Teatrino Promenade Greenhills.

Angelica won for her outstanding portrayal as the virginal bride turned screaming "gay" in the 2010 box-office hit "Here Comes The Bride".

She deserves the award. When I saw the movie, I already predicted she'll win honors for that Chris Martinez film.

Angelica was able to beat nominees such as Ai Ai de las Alas (Ang Tanging Ina, Last Na ‘To), Toni Gonzaga (My Amnesia Girl) and her co-stars in the movie Eugene Domingo and Tuesday Vargas.

Also winning for Here Comes The Bride is John Lapus as Best Actor in a Leading Role for Comedy or Musical.

Check out list of winners HERE.

It was the first time for both Angelica and John to win an ENPRESS award.

At 24, Angelica is actually the youngest to win in that category.

Cherry Pie Picache (“Bridal Shower”)

Zsa Zsa Padilla (“Ako Legal Wife”)
