Marianas Variety (MV): What's your impression of Guam?:

Prats: This is my first time, so I was shocked because I thought Guam was just one big island (laughs). I love the beach, I love the rain. I met the Filipinos here � they're all great. They're so warm, and I love it. It was nice meeting them.

MV: How do you take care of your skin and body?:

Prats: I take a bath three times a day, but I don't use any special products.

What kind of role in your life does your family play?

Prats: My dad is an owner of an advertising company and my mom is a housewife. My family's really supportive. They give (me and my sister Camille) advice on how to be more active and humble. They're there to guide us.

MV: Do you have any hidden talents or passions?

Prats: I don't sing but I love dancing. I want to improve my dancing, so I'm going to L.A. to study hip-hop.

What kind of style does Bench promote?

Prats: Bench is more than basic. Depends if you want to wear hip-hop, alternative laid-back.... For me, it's perfect.
