Models are perceived as all beauty and no brains but 26K girl Marylaine defies this perception. Her family not being well-off, with her father an amputee, Marylaine strived for and received a full scholarship at the De La Salle University. Here she excelled greatly – she was part of the pep squad, wrote for the school newspaper, became a consistent dean’s lister and even won a Palanca award.

Marylaine also writes for various magazines and is the spokesperson for Advocates for Youth, a youth group that advocates the fight for cervical cancer. Fondly called Leigh by family and friends, she describes herself as friendly, vivacious and very eloquent.

Will Marylaine use her smarts and take Jennifer with her to victory?
