Biography

Avi Siwa is a Filipino model, actress, TV personality, and entrepreneur known for breaking boundaries in Philippine media, nightlife, and business.

Before entering show business, Avi was already a martini bar business owner, launching her first venture-H&H Martini Bar in Makati-using an inheritance left by her late father. At the time, she was a notorious party girl and quickly became one of Manila’s IT models, dominating fashion shows and the underground nightlife scene. She regularly walked the runway under renowned fashion director Robby Carmona, a period that cemented her status as a style and social icon. Her larger-than-life persona earned her a feature in Manual Magazine, which famously dubbed her "The Ultimate Party Girl."

Avi rose to national prominence in 2004 after hosting the Philippines’ first LGBT reality TV show, OUT!, one of the most controversial programs of its time. The show gained her widespread recognition within the LGBTQ+ community, led to her first FHM cover, and secured her a film contract with Viva Films.

She later became the face of Beverly Hills 6750 with billboards displayed nationwide, modeled extensively across Southeast Asia, and posed as a campaign face for PETA.

Today, Avi Siwa is a founder and CEO building founder-led brands across beauty, lifestyle, hospitality, and energy-embodying reinvention, feminine power, and the evolution from nightlife icon to empire builder.
