June is coming fast again. There are three most-important events to look forward to in June: first, the start of the school year; second, the Independence Day commemoration; and third, the start of Mr. and Ms. Olive-C season.
Mr. and Ms. Olive-C Campus Model Philippines, now on its sixth year, vows to widen its scope and to stage a grander coronation night, according to Jim Acosta, the chief executive officer of Psalmstre Enterprises, the maker of Olive-C.
Jim pointed out that his company is eyeing more candidates this year, representing different schools from key cities and municipalities in the entire Philippines.
“We are planning for a wider, bigger, and well-represented Mr. and Ms. Olive-C this time. The Philippines has got a lot of talented and intelligent teenagers who deserve to be given a break to find their way in showbiz. Though we remain steadfast with our stand to put study on top of their priority, we still encourage young people to grab the chance of being part of the Olive-C family. Once they become official candidates of the pageant, they are entitled to free trainings and workshops that are useful in whatever endeavor they want to pursue after the pageant,” said Jim.
What makes MMOC different from the other inter-school pageants is that CREWorks Asia, organizer and marketing arm of Psalmstre, hires its winners, trains them, and takes them in as apprentices to prepare them for the real world. They automatically become endorsers, ambassadors, and brand activators of Olive-C, and they are paid for that. Other similar pageants end their services right after the coronation night.
Further, MMOC has been known as “the pageant where everything starts” because many young individuals who have found their niches and carved their names in the entertainment world started from this pageant. Previous finalists and winners made MMOC as their stepping stone in reaching their ultimate goals in life. Some of them currently work as flight attendants, international models, broadcasters, industry professionals, and celebrities. In one way or another, some of them had been discovered by their talent managers through MMOC. For example, Hiro Peralta (batch 2000) and Ashley Ortega (batch 2014) were discovered by the GMA Artist Center and Jon Lucas (batch 2014) was able to get his way through ABS-CBN Talent Center and has now become a member of the all-male group #Hashtag.
Starting this June, MMOC will be looking for its newest king and queen from every school in every city and municipality in the entire archipelago. The quest kicked off in Northern Mindanao with its screening last week. Cebu, Baguio, Davao, and other key cities will soon follow. Provinces like Bohol and Samar also showed interest to hold its local pageant.
As MMOC prepares the crowning of its sixth king and queen, Showbiz Sosyal will feature the past finalists and winners hoping to inspire the new batch and the coming batches in the future. What are these beauty kings and queens doing after their reign? Every week, we will know what they are up to and how the pageant has changed their lives.
To all 14 to 20-year bona fide students out there, who are at least 5’3” tall (girls) and 5’7” tall (boys), it’s your chance to be discovered. Grab the opportunity to get the best trainings from the CREWorks Asia Academy. The academy’s trainers are composed of beauty queens, college professors, film directors, successful designers, and prominent entertainment personalities.
