EMELYN CRUZ IS NOT JUST A MODEL—SHE WAS A NUDE SKETCH SUBJECT FOR BENCAB LANG NAMAN!

How significant is this for the career of a model like Emelyn? Very! BenCab—Benedicto Reyes Cabrera—was awarded National Artist of the Philippines for Visual Arts in 2006, which means he is a living national treasure. And it just so happened that BenCab refuses to rest on his laurels as a National Artist, choosing to continue to be relevant as evidenced in his collaboration with Secret Fresh Gallery owner and premium sneaker head Big Boy Cheng. It was Big Boy who introduced Emelyn to BenCab, and the result is primo art!
