In Barcelona where she has lived since the mid ’80s, Cristina is doing the Philippines proud by being an achiever, a beauty-and-brains with a keen eye for art and culture. Having studied the language in Barcelona, Cristina speaks Spanish like a native.
Hailed as a woman of style in Barcelona’s elite circles, Cristina relaxes from work at the golf courses at the Rocaferera Village in Maresme, Llavaneras where she maintains an elegant home. She spends summer in Marbella, South of Spain which is her third home. "I love the scent and the way of life in Andalucia," says Cristina.
Her first home, of course, is the Philippines where she regularly bonds with her family and friends which she loves and adores. "I am always very excited when the plane lands in Manila. It gives me a nostalgic feeling and a sense of patriotism, a desire to do something for my homeland."
During her recent visit, Cristina graciously agreed to do a fashion pictorial wearing one of her favorite Spanish brands, Zara. "I love Zara! I like mix-matching Zara clothes with couture brands. Zara is favored by the younger members of the Spanish royalty for its hip styles and comfy fit." She even did the styling and enjoyed matching the Zara outfits with her personal accessories.
Si, this señorita is muy hermosa y graciosa.
