Starkadas are here!

Net25 has announced its newest roster of talents who went through intensive acting, singing, and dancing workshops for the last three months.

Out of a hundred auditionees from different regions of the Philippines, only 32 talented individuals came to the final stage. They debuted during their culmination activity at the EVM Convention Center last Sept. 15.

Each of the artist's family, friends, and fans gathered at the venue to support the aspiring artists. They started the program with an electrifying dance number, followed by a singing performance from Yvan Castro.

Aside from dancing and singing, the culmination also features short skits from different genres, such as Drama, Comedy, and Romance, to show off the artist's acting skills.

NET25 President Caesar Vallejos is confident in what these artists can bring to the table.  

"These new talents have been carefully selected for their unique perspectives, exceptional skills, and the passion they bring to their craft. They represent a diverse range of backgrounds and experiences, ensuring that we continue to reflect the rich tapestry of our global audience," He said during the event.

The grand launch was a testament to the power of determination, passion, and relentless pursuit of one's dreams. Over the past three months, these vibrant teens have participated in rigorous training programs led by industry experts and mentors.

These individuals have demonstrated an unwavering commitment to their craft, from honing their acting skills to perfecting their dance moves, vocal training, and even learning to become influential brand ambassadors.

At the end of the program, NET25 Star Center Head Eric Quizon gave a heartwarming message to his students who will now start their journey as artists.

"Natutuwa ako kasi para akong naging tatay ng 32 kids instantly, and while watching them performing on stage is so rewarding. Now I know how it feels to be a stage father, and I promise that I'm going to take care of these kids," Eric said.

(I'm happy because it's like I became the father of 32 kids instantly and while watching them perform on stage is so rewarding. Now, I know how it feels to be a stage father, and I promise that I'm going to take care of these kids)
