Maureen Wroblewitz is Asia's Next Top Model

Filipina-German Maureen Wroblewitz wins Asia's Next Top Model Cycle 5, besting out Shikin Gomez of Malaysia and Mihn Tu Nguyen of Vietnam. She is the first Filipina to win the said modelling competition.

On the finale episode, the top three finalists were photographed by Yu Tsai in an avant-garde "motherland" theme where they were able to embody the countries they represent. 

After the photoshoot, the finalists were reunited with the eliminated contestants and headed to the National Gallery Singapore for a final runway show showcasing renaissance-inspired gowns designed by Xiao Qing Zhang. 

The final panel of judges were comprised of host Cindy Bishop, photographer Yu Tsai, Nylon Singapor editor-in-chief Adele Chan, model agent Ruby Adler, and Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach.

Maureen was born and raised in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. She moved to Germany at the age of 12 and started modelling when she moved to the Philippines when she was 18 years old. Throughout the competition, Maureen had been into the bottom two twice but she had 3 first call-outs (FCO) for best photo.

Here's a look back on her AsNTM journey with her photos.

In the competition, she has been labeled as the girl who is the youngest, shortest, least experienced, and pretty with no skills. But now, that girl, Maureen Wroblewitz of the Philippines, is Asia's Next Top Model.

Congratulations, Maureen! ✨ 💙 🇵🇭
