Except for the name, Verlyn Hizon is the Filipino macho archetype. This 27-year old pro model first won the Caribbean Nights Bikini Open held a few years back at the Intercontinental Hotel in Makati City. In 2002, he was one of the finalists in Bodyshots, a models-only bikini contest. In 2004, he resurfaced at the Mr. Bikini International-Philippines contest, with fellow contestants Carlos Concepcion, Ramon del Prado and Randolph Dungo.
