Philippine Embassy officers and staff attended the opening ceremony of the “Fashion Week Runway Asia”, a charitable fashion show organized by Filipino entrepreneur Ms. Rachel Hizon, on 5 April 2019 at the Parrish Jones-Look Lounge fashion store along Sukhumvit Road in Bangkok. According to Ms. Hizon, part of the proceeds from sales would be for the benefit of Saraburi House, a home for impoverished girls in the Saraburi Province of Thailand. The fashion show was held also at the Private Home Gallery in Yannawa, Bangkok on 6 to 7 April, where most of the Filipino community attended.

The fashion event showcased six (6) Filipino designers from Manila, namely Len Nepomuceno Mortel, Jor-el Espina, Adante Leyesa, Dodjie Batu, Randolph Keith Petalcorin and Dong Omaga Diaz. Ms. Hizon was proud to present the same Philippine team that won the “Best Showcase Award” at the “Malaysia /Mercedes Benz Asia Fashion Week” held in Kuala Lumpur in November of last year.
