ABOUT THE MODEL
Robin Mangaser Tizon was originally from Voorhees, New Jersey and lived in Harlem, New York City with her husband Ricky. She was an entertainment and intellectual property attorney.
Robin was also the Public Relations Co-chair for the Filipino American Lawyers Association (FALA) New York and the Young Lawyers Network Co-Chair for the National Filipino American Lawyers Assocation (NFALA).
Robin is sorely missed. A portion of all purchases of Robin's namesake barong will be donated to a cause she cared for most - Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center to support cancer research, care and education programs, the Alicia Rose Victorious Foundation to support their programs for hospitalized children with cancer or other life-threatening illnesses, and the ACLU.
