Tweetie hosts new ‘Runway’

Actress-model Tweetie de Leon Gonzales replaces “Project Runway Philippines” host Teresa Herrera when the third season of the reality talent search premieres on ETC in February 2012. This was announced by PRP executive producer Edel Pepito last week.

“With ETC’s transfer to RPN 9, we now have access to a wider audience that cuts across all demographics. We needed someone who could be appealing to all these markets,” Pepito explained. “We know that we have a winner in Tweetie.” The nationwide auditions for the 15 designers who will compete in the show begins on August 20.—Marinel R.
