Nefertiti Posted April 17, 2011 Posted April 17, 2011 Charo Ronquillo (born 1988 in Cabuyao, Laguna, Philippines) is a Filipina model. She is the SECOND in the entire 25 year history of the Ford Supermodel of the World Search selected from the far east. She was described by Bill Ford as, "that unique look from the Philippines". Ever since she was 12 years old, she dreamt of becoming an international model. Ronquillo was discovered shooting hoops at an arcade in Robinson's mall in Laguna province by Faze Model Management owner, Elmer Torralba. Before entering high school she ticked off, “short hair, ugly teeth, tomboyish and always picking a fight,” as her main traits. Only when she started paying attention to her looks was the modeling seed lodged. Hoping for her big break into the world of modeling, she worked hard, attended numerous castings and joined various model competitions for the next 5 years. At 17 years old, Ronquillo joined and won the Supermodel of the World Philippines 2005 Search. She went on to the Supermodel World Finals 2006 in New York City and placed 3rd with a $100,000 contract with Ford Models. Since her win, Ronquillo graced the catwalks of New York Fashion Week modeling for top labels and designers including Lacoste, Lela Rose, Nanette Lapore, Zero Maria Cornejo, Tory Burch, Antonio Berardi, Kenneth Cole, Mac Cosmetics Barbie Collection, Zaldy by Gwen Stefani, BCBG, Sisley and Benetton. She was one of Chloe Dao's models on the finale of Project Runway season 2. She also appeared on numerous fashion and beauty editorials for Spanish Vogue, Indian Vogue, Teen Vogue, Marie Claire Paris and US, Glamour, Macy's, Old Navy and Sak's Fifth Avenue among others.
