Filipino representation takes another turn in Hollywood with the official premiere of the animated film Forgotten Island. Featuring an ensemble cast of Filipino voice actors, the DreamWorks animation tells a story of heritage and friendship, woven together with elements of local folklore.
Joining the likes of Liza Soberano and Dolly de Leon in the voice cast is Manny Jacinto, who brings Bungi, a tiyanak-inspired giant, to life on the big screen. For the highly anticipated premiere at the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art in Los Angeles, the Filipino-Canadian actor wore an ensemble pulled straight from the recently concluded Manila Fashion Week 2026 runway.

Dressed by stylist Ilaria Urbinati, Manny donned an outfit from Randolf's "The Waiting Room" collection, presented just a couple of weeks earlier at MNL Fashion Week. The look centered on a multi-paneled denim jacket accented by a red petal-shaped collar and twin piña “wings” at the back. Paired with the jacket was a pair of tailored shorts featuring an extra layer of flowing fabric at the hem. Manny completed the ensemble with sharp boots and a crisp white button-down reminiscent of a barong. FYI, this marks the second time the international heartthrob has worn Randolf for a cinematic event miles away from our shores!
On the velvet carpet, Manny was joined by fellow Filipinos Liza, Dolly, and Grammy-recognized singer H.E.R. in championing Filipino fashion. In particular, Dolly, who voices Lola Fatima in Forgotten Island, was also spotted wearing Randolf.
About Manny Jacinto's Randolf Look
Manny’s outfit was the seventh look to emerge from the hospital-inspired doors that framed Randolf’s “The Waiting Room” runway. Reimagined as a liminal space, the show reflected designer RJ Santos’ experiences of grief and newfound life. Modeled by Marco Gatchalian, the look carried signature Randolf codes, from eye-catching color-blocking and retro-inspired silhouettes to the intentional use of piña fabric.
