Prestige Gives the Local Modeling Scene a World-Class Flair

On the brink of Metro Cebu’s flourishing commercial, advertising and fashion industries, a business entity committed to providing upscale and commendable models carves its niche in the heart of the Queen City. Hailing models from all over Cebu and across its neighboring islands in the Visayas and Mindanao, Prestige Modelling Agency (PMA) takes pride in being the catalyst for a lift in the local industry landscape.
With key players in the scene as consultants in putting life to its vision, Prestige is a reliable corporate partner—training its talents of different ages and diverse races to exude notable professionalism in print, ramp and commercial modeling, setting to go at par with world class standards. A case in point: its height requirement. Although a little exception may be spared for its print models, Prestige breeds female runway models who stand in no less than 5’7” and male runway models in no less than 5’10”. Another one of its key features would be the provision of portfolio books containing the body of work for each of its talents, which is rare among its competitors within the city but a common practice in the international industry.
At its helm and prime mover as Chief Executive Officer and President is Mr. Heindrich Marty Torres competently assisted by Mr. Arnold J. Echevarria as Chief Operating Officer, Mr. Glenn C. Libradilla as Chief Finance Officer and Mr. Adam A. Resurreccion as Manager.
By providing updated modeling workshops, comprehensive personality development training and intensive character building activities, Prestige models are ensured to perform and deliver competency at any level of given tasks and assignments.
As a grand welcome to this roster of high caliber models to the city, Prestige invites local designers, its friends in the media, corporate managers and a league of Cebu’s socialites to its official launch on October 17 at The Gallery of Ayala Center Cebu. In an Urban Uprising-themed celebration, witness its talents walk the talk and strut the runway in ensembles from Mango, Promod, Ever New, Guess and homegrown designer, Hanz Coquilla’s collection.

Careless’ first ever music festival, Wavy Baby, is bound to make the return of Sinulog one for the books.
Wavy Baby is a two-day music festival happening on January 13-14, 2023 at the North Reclamation Area in Mandaue City, Cebu with a lineup of over 20 artists recognized both locally and internationally.
Wavy Baby will feature international performers Pink Sweat$, Bambam, Sunmi, The Rose, Bag Raiders, Manila Grey, and Yultron.

The festival will also feature local Cebuano acts such as Cookie$, The Sundown, Mandaue Nights, Three Legged Men, and Wonggoys.
Careless’ CEO, Jeffrey Oh, says “We’re really excited to do Wavy Baby in Sinulog because it’s the biggest and most historic festival in the Philippines. We want to build a festival that brings the best of the Philippines and the world together to meet and celebrate life and culture, which is what Sinulog is all about. We call it Wavy Baby because we want a wavy lifestyle and a wavy mindset. It also pays homage to Sinulog because the Sinulog symbols are water and the baby Jesus so it’s also a nod to that as well. We’re excited to be part of the Cebu family and build something special that hopefully we can repeat year after year.”
The festival itself will be held at the North Reclamation Area in Mandaue City, Cebu. There will be an Artist Lounge, VVIP Lounge, a VIP Area in front of the stage, Cocktail Pods, Sponsor’s Hives, and Market Pod.
