Eager to make their mark in the topsy-turvy world that is show business are Sparkle’s emerging young stars.
They are: Roxie Smith, Kirsten Gonzales, Tanya Ramos, Caitlyn Stave, Kim Perez, Vince Maristela, Sean Lucas, Raheel Bhyria.
Note they were handpicked by Johnny Manahan, no less.
Also known as Mr. M, the starmaker is confident the newbies, collectively known as Sparkadas, will make it big in no time.
He said, “They have all those qualities which we think will capture the imagination of the public. They have ‘yung tinatawag na ‘It.’”
