It's in her genes
Aya Abesamis on Cosmo
Mother & daughter: Desiree Verdadero (L) and Aya Abesamis
Her face is not in the traditional mold of beauty we are accustomed to. You can always compare her to a few of our former titleholders, but will find it hard to pinpoint who she really looks like. She takes more from her father (JB Abesamis) in terms of facial features. Taller than her beauty queen mom by almost 2 inches, she stands 5’8″.
A Fine Arts major at UST, Aya is now an active member of PMAP (Professional Models Association of the Philippines) where she gets booked for various modeling gigs.
Will she commit to Bb. Pilipinas 2014 as early as now? We’ll see.
