"First 15" at FIRST 5

Hollywood FX "First 15" models were given a chance to unwind at the Tanduay First 5 concert last October 22nd at the SM CDO Car Park. Thanks to the Marketing Strategist and Manager, Jenefer Maagad who secured free passes from the Tanduay office itself, 10 out of the "First 15" were given the chance to meet and rock with 5 of Philippines' top rock bands. The strategy with how the models were chosen randomly seemed allusive of Tyra Bank's Bankable "America's Next Top Model" challenges. The Executive Director decided that this may well be the scenario for the next following events. Besides encouraging sportsmanship among the models, it becomes a gauge as to the extent of their participation and willingness to be part of the Hollywood FX family. 

On October 20th, after the Marketing Manager got the tickets, the Executive Director sent out to announce on Facebook that the "First 10" who gets to like the post will go to the concert. But it wasn't just fun and rock and roll - the models were in fact sent out on a mission where Marketing Manager observed how the models come up in a crowd. The considerations were - do they blend in? Do they stand out? Do they turn heads? It seemed that either was the case since everybody there went for the First 5 anyway. It was, anyhow, all fun and rock and roll at the end. Photographers Christian Erfe Gesta, Jeanny Dizon and Jessica Jane Tesoro Villegas had reserved slots as well - for what little benefit would do the Hollywood FX artists from some kickback? Due to even more busy schedules on the ladies' part, only Christian held his hands up and banged his head with the models and Marketing Manager.
