Today, we celebrate not just a placement, but a journey, a record, and a model who made his name impossible to ignore.

Congratulations to ERL JOHN ORTEZA, our ALPHA 3RD RUNNER UP! 👑

Erl John made history in LENOX NEXT TOP MODEL LAGUNA — ALPHA as the first model in the bunch to achieve a BACK-TO-BACK-TO-BACK FCO — three consecutive FIRST CALL OUTS. 🔥🔥🔥

Three times, his name was called first.
Three times, he stood at the very front.
Three times, he proved that he had something that demanded attention.
And that is not a small achievement.

From the moment Erl John stepped into this competition, there was something about him that the judges could see. His presence. His confidence. His ability to deliver in front of the camera and on the runway. He wasn't simply there to participate — he was there to compete.

That streak of FCOs is a testament to his potential, talent, and undeniable ability to stand out.

But modeling is not only about how beautiful the picture is, how strong the walk looks, or how many times your name is called first.

It is also about character, personality, discipline, commitment, and the willingness to grow.

And this is where Erl John’s journey becomes even more meaningful.

Landing at 3rd Runner Up does not erase the incredible things he accomplished. If anything, it reminds us that becoming a great model is more than winning challenges. It is about learning how to carry yourself, how to commit, how to work with others, and how to transform your weaknesses into something stronger.

Erl John, your three consecutive FCOs will forever be part of ALPHA history. 🏆

You proved that you can dominate a competition.
Now, the next chapter is about proving that you can also grow beyond the competition.

Never let your placement define your worth.
You were a front-runner. You were a record-breaker. You were a fighter.

And most importantly, you are still a MODEL WITH SO MUCH MORE TO GIVE.

From everyone at LENOX NEXT TOP MODEL LAGUNA, congratulations, Erl John Orteza! ❤️

Wear that 3rd Runner Up title with pride — not because it was the highest place you reached, but because you fought your way through ALPHA and left behind a record that will be remembered.

From TOP 27… to 1ST RUNNER-UP.

Mary Joyce, your journey is one that we will never forget.
I still remember your very first photoshoot in Episode 0. You landed at Top 27, almost near the bottom of the pack. For some, that might have been the moment to question themselves—to lose confidence, to feel that perhaps they weren't meant to go further.

But you didn't.

You took that result not as a reason to stop, but as a reason to prove yourself.

And episode after episode, photoshoot after photoshoot, we watched you transform.

You didn't simply improve your photos.You improved yourself.

You learned how to command the camera.You learned how to understand your angles.You learned how to carry yourself with confidence.And most importantly, you learned how to believe that you belonged.

Every time the camera came out, you delivered.

There were moments when you surprised us. There were moments when you challenged the other girls. And there were moments when you reminded everyone that modeling does not have one size, one shape, or one definition of beauty.

You became more than just a contestant.

You became a representation.

Our LEGACY PLUS-SIZE MODEL. ❤️

You proved that curves are not limitations.You proved that confidence has no size.You proved that beauty does not need to fit into a certain measurement.

And today, standing as the 1ST RUNNER-UP of LENOX NEXT TOP MODEL LAGUNA – ALPHA, you have shown exactly what happens when someone refuses to let their first chapter define their ending.

From Top 27 to standing among the very best.
That isn't just a placement.

THAT IS GROWTH.THAT IS DETERMINATION.THAT IS CHARACTER.THAT IS MARY JOYCE.

And perhaps the most beautiful part of your story is that you didn't have to become someone else to reach the top.
You simply became a better version of yourself.

Mary Joyce, you are proof that sometimes the strongest model isn't the one who starts at the top.

Sometimes, it's the one who starts from behind, gets knocked down, gets overlooked, gets doubted—and still chooses to stand up, learn, fight, and keep walking.

You kept walking.
And look where that walk brought you.
Today, we don't just celebrate you as 1ST RUNNER-UP.

We celebrate the girl who refused to give up.
We celebrate the woman who found her confidence.
We celebrate the model who gave the plus-size community a place on our runway.

And we celebrate a journey that will forever be part of the LENOX NEXT TOP MODEL LAGUNA legacy.

Congratulations, MARY JOYCE MANCILLA. 👑❤️

From TOP 27 to 1ST RUNNER-UP.
You didn't just climb the rankings.
YOU EARNED YOUR PLACE.

And always remember:
Your first photoshoot may have told us where you started…but every photoshoot after that showed us who you were becoming.

Today, we proudly say—
SHE DIDN'T JUST IMPROVE.SHE ARRIVED

Congratulations,
our MOST IMPROVED GIRL,
our LEGACY PLUS-SIZE MODEL,
and our...

LENOX NEXT TOP MODEL LAGUNA — ALPHA | 2ND RUNNER-UP

There are victories that come with a crown, and there are victories that come from proving to everyone—and most importantly, to yourself—that you belong.

Today, we proudly celebrate Kean Nicole Seraye,

𝟐𝐍𝐃 𝐑𝐔𝐍𝐍𝐄𝐑-𝐔𝐏 𝐨𝐟 𝐋𝐄𝐍𝐎𝐗 𝐍𝐄𝐗𝐓 𝐓𝐎𝐏 𝐌𝐎𝐃𝐄𝐋 𝐋𝐀𝐆𝐔𝐍𝐀 — 𝐀𝐋𝐏𝐇𝐀. 🤍

Yes, she is the CEO’s pamangkin. People may have questions, opinions, or assumptions because of that. But Kean chose not to let her relationship with the CEO speak for her.

She let her WORK speak for her.

She entered the competition knowing that people would be watching her more closely. And instead of asking for an easier path, she walked the same road as everyone else. She faced the challenges. She did the photoshoots. She completed the necessary requirements. She showed up. She competed. She learned. She improved. And every step of the way, she fought fair and square.

She never needed a special crown.

She needed only the opportunity to prove that she could stand on that runway—and she did.

From the very beginning, Kean was undeniably a FRONT RUNNER. Her presence, her potential, her determination, and the way she continued to push herself made her someone who could never simply be overlooked.

And now, looking at this photo, we see more than just a model wearing denim.

We see the girl who once had something to prove.
We see the competitor who kept showing up.
We see the niece of the CEO who refused to hide behind that title.

And most importantly, we see KEAN.

A model who earned her place.

Being 2nd Runner-Up does not mean you fell short. It means you stood among the strongest, made it through the fight, and left your own mark in the history of LENOX NEXT TOP MODEL LAGUNA — ALPHA.

Kean, your journey may have ended with the title of 2nd Runner-Up, but your story as a model does not end here.

This is only the beginning.

May you always remember that your biggest achievement was not proving that you were the CEO’s niece.

It was proving that even as the CEO’s niece, you were willing to work for your own name.

And tonight, that name deserves to be celebrated.

Congratulations, Kean. You fought. You showed up. You delivered.And you proved that you can. ❤️‍🔥

THE FRONT RUNNER WHO NEVER STOPPED RUNNING.

THE GIRL WHO EARNED HER PLACE.

THE FIRST 2ND RUNNER-UP WHO WILL ALWAYS BE PART OF THE LENOX LEGACY.
