Born in Samar. Trained in Fine Arts at the University of the Philippines Diliman. Refined his craft at Slim's Fashion and Arts School in Manila. Launched his first Haute Couture line in 2003.

Pieces have appeared on public-record red carpets and editorial covers internationally. The Archive page details those moments with attribution and rights status.
Co-founder, business partner and Chief Executive of the independent Michael Cinco label, formalised by the end of 2013 in Dubai.
Holds the operating side of the house — salon strategy, commercial direction, partnerships and the Dubai Design District presence across couture, jewellery and ready-to-wear locations.
Public-facing biographical detail beyond his role appears here only with Dr. Sayed Ali's confirmation. Photograph and extended biography will replace this block once approval is provided.
