It will be recalled that it was through the efforts of GMA Artist Center's lady boss that our ties with WCOPA (World Championship of Performing Arts) and Asian Supermodel, to name a few, were established.
"I believe that
the Filipinos are world-class in terms of talents and capabilities.
Participating in international endeavors like this does not only
broaden our artists' horizon, it also develops them into more
well-rounded individuals as they experience other cultures and meet
different people. This experience is very enriching and it is my dream
to make it accessible to every artist of GMA. I am very happy that GMA
network is very supportive of all our activities," she said.
