"Starkada," a new reality show about the rising stars of Net25, will premiere today, Dec. 18, at 5:30 p.m.

After a series of workshops on acting, singing, and dancing, fans will get to see behind-the-scenes footage of each artist in the reality show,  "Road to Starkada."

During their Zoom media conference on Dec. 13, Eric Quizon, head of Net25's Star Center Artist Management, shared that the show will highlight the journey of each Starkada, from auditions to the workshops.

"In the beginning, kasi, when we auditioned them. We pushed them to do workshops in all aspects, singing, dance, acting, and hosting para to help them hone their craft. So I had it all documented, and then I proposed to have a reality show based on their journey," Eric said.

"Road To Starkada" revolves around discovering and showcasing Filipino teens' untapped talent, charisma, and resilience – with one goal in mind – to reach stardom.

The Starkadas will embark on a transformative journey, facing various weekly tasks and challenges that will test their creativity, teamwork, and adaptability.

Coming into the showbiz industry as newbies, Eric also said he is proud of the 33 Star Center artists, whom he treats as his family.

"I'm very proud of them. Alam ko pwede ko silang ipagmalaki, pwede ko silang isalang. Some of them can dance around the other actors in other networks. Some of them can act around the other actors in different networks," he added.
