For eight years now, the Circle of 10 teen model search has been a
successful launching pad for many aspiring models and
celebrity-dreamers.
The search whose vision is to produce an annual
batch of beautiful, talented artists has become a byword in the
advertising and entertainment industry and its credibility has never
been questioned. This year, a total of 44 official candidates will
vie for 10 slots in the teen model search, the finals of which is
scheduled on Sunday, June 8 at the Cinema 6 of SM North.
This week, founder and executive director Tom
Adrales presented the official candidates to the media at the
Formula Bar in Tomas Morato. The male finalists are—Cris Valdez,
Ivan Barcelo, Laurence Bautista, Arjay Farcon, Carlo Lazerna, Jose
Luis Benin, Patrick Alva, Zeus Rafer, Jay R Salud, Rommel Barretto,
Ryan Banedick Anastacio, Takayuki Tamura, Raffy Sangko, Louie Calara,

agencies. If one or two of these young boys and girls make it big,
then I guess we have achieved our goals, “ Adrales explains.
