<p>Longtime fans may recall David Licauco’s earlier runway and photoshoot appearances, where he modeled underwear for a sexy collection, showcasing his physique.

I think actually marami na nagtatanong sa akin kung gusto ko siyang gawin. But at this point, hindi muna. But maybe in the future, let&#x27;s see,” David teased, as he headlined this year’s Bench Fashion Week Spring and Summer collection.</p><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-0" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DXWsJ9eGDYR/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A468976.4000000004%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="857" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-0" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>In an exclusive interview with <a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz"><strong>PUSH ABS-CBN</strong></a>, he opened up about what it’s like stepping onto the runway each time.</p><p>“It’s fun, of course, walking again for Bench.
