I first came across UNIQLO during my jaunt to Japan last July 2011. I couldn’t help but admire the quality of their Barbie t-shirts! However, since the store was located at the airport and I did not have any ¥en yet, I basically shrugged it off.

Fast forward to recent moments, I attended UNIQLO’s Cast Announcement Party last May 16th held at Hotel Intercon, Makati. This affair is a prelude to the first ever UNIQLO store to hit our shore and is set to open this June 15th at SM Mall of Asia.


The happening was hosted by Monster RX 93.1’s Chico and Delamar.

Chris Tiu is a true sports figure, an inspiration for education (with two college degrees), he hosts, does commercial modeling and product endorsements and also has his own business- all these while projecting a wholesome image.


Nikki Gil is currently conquering show business. She loves hosting, singing, acting in movies and now even in theater. She is also a staunch protector of the environment and a popular product endorser just like Chris Tiu.


Chito Miranda is a witty singer-songwriter. He is the main man of Parokya ni Edgar, a funk rock/alternative group that made ripples in the early 90s music scene. Their group gave Filipino rock music a truly unique sound that was loved by music fans regardless of socio-economic status and age.


Iza Calzado is what you call a triple threat. She can act, dance and sometimes sing. She is part of ABS-CBN’s impressive roster of talents and is a co-host of the same network’s hugely popular Sunday noontime show, ASAP.


Shadow by shadow, The UNIQLO Cast was revealed. These personas each embody diverse characters and will serve as the bridge between UNIQLO and the Filipinos in communicating the “MADE FOR ALL” philosophy.


Whether you’re sporty, fun, witty, serious, spontaneous or a little bit of everything, UNIQLO has something in store just for you!


Merci beaucoup to Je for the invite and UNIQLO Philippines for having me and my sister in this enjoyable event. <3
