by Roberto M. Cabardo  Cebu City (9 March) -- While Manila seems to project the country as one that goes through a crisis in politics and economy, Fashion TV (FTV), the world's channel on the latest of fashion and style, still sees the good side of the country as it launched the first reality-based school for aspiring models in this part of the Philippines.  FTV in cooperation with the Bigfoot Entertainment Incorporated and the International Academy of Film and Television launched the first reality-school in the country. The school aims not only to produce models that will have a greater chance of breaking into the international arena.  "In 7-20 years, we will try to build Cebu as the next fashion capital in the Philippines," said Jackie Aquino, one of the mentors of the said school and considered to be one of the top fashion directors in the country.  When asked why FTV chose Cebu, Rebecca Picket, an international model and producer replied, "FTV is very proud to be here in Cebu because we want to make the Philippines to be one of the up and coming fashion capitals, we also want to work with the local designers and the talents especially the young people here in Cebu who want to be international models. We believe we have a lot of talents here, this is my third time here and we want to have a lot more events here. We also have Bigfoot Entertainment here and the facilities and we believe this is beautiful island and has some great locations, a lot of good designers and great people and photographers."  Larry Mercado, school's general director, said that they aim to elevate the standards of the modeling in the country to make Filipino models get international exposure. Mercado also narrated that FTV founder and owner, Michel Adams, came to Cebu last week and expressed his excitement about the project. In his stay in the city, Adams joined other officials of the school in conducting a walk through of Ayala Center where most of the 10 reality sessions will be made. Kick-off session will be on March 25.  Among the mentors are a mixed of local and international fashion artists that include multi-talented ramp and commercial model Tweetie de Leon-Gonzales, coordinator for schools Lilo Aliño, fashion guru Jackie Aquino, ace photographer Eisen Alquiza, and art and stage director Daisy Baad.  Meanwhile, Philip Rodriguez, former president of Cebu Designers Guild, welcomed the FTV-Bigfoot-IAFT initiative of creating a school that will expose students to the demands of modeling abroad. The said Cebu-based top designer of the country also revealed that to his knowledge only three Cebuano models made it big in the international arena, namely, Verna Buckley, Vince Cañizares, and Margie Ramirez.  Should the school's program succeed here, FTV aims to use it as a benchmark in establishing other reality schools. The program covers personality development, hair and make up, etiquette, posing for the video and photo shoots, runway modeling, and the what and the who they need to know about the modeling internationally. It also hopes to help increase employment in the country by providing the needed world class skills and knowledge of those aspiring to conquer the runway not only here but also outside the Philippines. As these Filipinos model abroad, they will hopefully be promoters of goodwill who know how to maintaining grace under pressure.
