Gazini Ganados, Anthony Constantino encourage Sparkle Campus Cutie Season 2 aspirants to stay authentic

Gazini Ganados and Anthony Constantino encouraged aspiring Sparkle Campus Cutie Season 2 hopefuls to embrace their authentic selves as they prepare for the competition.

Speaking on the sidelines of the Sparkle Campus Cutie Season 2 workshop, where they serve as the contestants' pasarela coaches, the two shared advice on how aspirants can stand out before the judges.

Anthony stressed the importance of staying true to one's identity instead of trying to fit in.

"The one piece of advice I would give to these young kids is just stick to yourself. No matter what, you don’t need to conform or change for whatever it is in the room," he told GMA News Online.

He added that contestants should let their personalities shine on the competition night.

"I think the main thing is, for the main night when they pick the Campus Cutie, just be authentic and be yourself because you want Sparkle to choose you for you, and that all you can be is yourself," Anthony said.

Meanwhile, Gazini encouraged the aspirants to recognize both their strengths and weaknesses, saying that perceived flaws can also become an advantage.

"Know your strengths and weaknesses. A weakness is not necessarily something that will bring you down because ultimately you can use it as a tool to your advantage and maximize it to your ultimate power," she shared.

The Kapuso beauty queen echoed Anthony's message on authenticity, noting that it remains one of the qualities judges value most.

"I just want them to be themselves because authenticity is still the number one thing that the judges are looking for. Then we're just going to maximize that," Gazini said.

Twenty fresh faces are joining the Sparkle Campus Cutie Season 2, which is composed of ten boys and ten girls.

Sparkle revealed the first batch of Campus Cuties in 2025, with Mad Ramos being named the Ultimate Campus Cutie.

Following his win, Mad expressed his hope to represent the Muslim community.

Mad also signed a contract with Sparkle.

Fellow contestants Andrei Fajardo, Kady Costales, Ryke Regala, David Bunagan, Zed Malicsi, Ralph Miaco, Migs Concepcion, Akira Kurata, Mateo Monzones, Winston Stolk, and Kiko Antonio also signed with the management. —CDC, GMA News
