Bench Universe 2012 to be broadcast on pay TV television throughout Southeast Asia

 Training the international spotlight on Filipino creativity and talent, Starworld is premiering the Bench Universe 2012 Denim and Underwear Fashion Show on December 8, 2012, making it the first entertainment production in the Philippines to be broadcast on pay TV television throughout Southeast Asia.

Bench Universe 2012 is not only a tremendous entertainment presentation but also a mind-blowing showcase of Filipino talent in high fashion, featuring the collections of Bench and renowned designers Ezra Santos, Joey Samson, Cary Santiago, Val Taguba, Rajo Laurel, Albert Andrada, Randy Ortiz, Furne One, and Michael Cinco, who have all made names for themselves in international design circles.

Starworld viewers will be treated to behind-the-scenes footage of the fantastical production, giving them backstage access to get close to the celebrity models of Bench Universe in their most unguarded moments.

To recall when Robi Domingo is no longer endorsing this clothing line and he is not participating in this denim and underwear show. This is the truth when he did not miss any annual BENCH and BENCH/Body campaign such as summer, back-to-school and holiday and biennial denim and underwear shows. Sources to newspapers, tabloids and websites when the Pinoy Big Brother: Teen Edition Plus second big placer and Ateneo de Manila University graduate is no longer renewing his contract with Bench.

He was also took part in "Uncut: A Bold Look at the Future" Denim and Underwear Show at the Araneta Coliseum when he tore his sando in the Furne One's Far East segment.
