That evening, Koreans were charmed by the lady who played the role of Jodi in the local adaptation of Koreanovela hit Stairway to Heaven.

It will be recalled that it was through the efforts of GMA Artist Center's lady boss that our ties with WCOPA (World Championship of Performing Arts) and Asian Supermodel, to name a few, were established.

"I believe that the Filipinos are world-class in terms of talents and capabilities. Participating in international endeavors like this does not only broaden our artists' horizon, it also develops them into more well-rounded individuals as they experience other cultures and meet different people. This experience is very enriching and it is my dream to make it accessible to every artist of GMA. I am very happy that GMA network is very supportive of all our activities," she said.

Henares was asked to present the Kid Model award.

The host organizations behind the Asia Model Festival Awards are the Korea Model Association and the Korea Foundation for International Culture Exchange. The event was produced by the Korea Model Association and Model Center International Co., with the partnership of broadcasting company SBS Plus and was sponsored by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, Korea National Tourism Organization, Korea Content Agency, International Broadcasting Exchange Foundation, among many others.
