You probably recognize him as the model who reluctantly strutted his stuff at the Bench Philippine Fashion Week show held in October last year. You might have seen him in photos and posters for the newest Bench ad campaign, “Lost in Summer”. You might have taken a second look at him while he’s partying with fellow models in bars in the Metro. In case you’re wondering what his name is, it’s Franco Daza.

Franco is 23 years old and is originally from Vancouver, British Columbia in Canada. He is a singer/songwriter in his native Canada. He started performing at the age of 12; and since then has been writing songs, recording tracks and doing concerts to the delight of the Filipino community in his area. He is currently in the Philippines to pursue his passion – music. However, with his height, looks, and good body proportions, his plans got sidetracked and he was lured into modeling. At present, he is one of the faces of the latest Bench campaign where he joins popular actors Gerald Anderson, Zanjoe Marudo, Aljur Abrenica, JC de Vera, Rafael Rossel, JayR Sillona, Jon Avila, Ron Morales and Paulo Avelino.
