Is Rocky Salumbides really the First Pinoy Ford Model?

Hot Rocky Salumbides is a filipino supermodel, dubbed by ABS-CBN as the First Pinoy Ford Model (Really? Brent Chua please don’t be mad). But before he set his foot to supermodeldom he started out as a balut (boiled chicken egg embryo) vendor, he hadn't graduated college, (and I suppose, If you ever reached this level of stardom, quitting college is just like refusing a buck over a grand), for financial reasons. His mother, as of my knowing, has diabetes by the way. Thanks to his Chinese and Puerto Rican ancestry he now is a supermodel.

He was discovered by a scout on a mall, if I remembered correctly (his interview on Rated K), and then joined a model search. Poof! All of the sudden he modeled for famous couturiers like Gucci, Dior, D & G and etc.

He was being dubbed as The First Pinoy Ford Model (when Brent Chua really was the first and Charo Ronquillo as second, Verns Buckley as third, I think) by ABS-CBN based on their poor research. He even said he was discovered by Jinky Illusorio as he was playing basketball with his friends (who’s the inconsistent here? me or him?).

If you can’t see him on the local magazines, just relax, he must be busy strutting the catwalks of Milan, Italy.
