Estudio Manila believes that “the world is a stage,” and that people from all walks of life put their best foot forward to succeed and leave a lasting impression. In this setting, we must maintain an image and exhibit skills founded on substance and character. Estudio Manila is headed by Jonas Antonio Gaffud, CEO/ President of Mercator Model Management, one of the premier modeling agencies in the
Philippines. Furthermore, he is known as the Philippines' “Queen Maker,” credited for discovering and developing modern beauty pageant luminaries such as Venus Raj, Shamcey Supsup, Janine Tugonon, Ariella Arida and Megan Young. His most recent success is none other than Miss Universe 2015, Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach. Jonas and his team believes that a beautiful, poised, elegant, and articulate person need not be a celebrity. S/he can be a company executive, a blogger, a teacher, a wife, a mother or a father– s/he can confidently fill any role and make a lasting impact. Estudio Manila further sees the importance of these qualities among professionals. These are people who are in constant scrutiny, they often interact in a fast-paced and demanding world. Aside from targeting individual executive enrollees, Estudio Manila seeks to access corporate accounts, offering grooming, visual poise and personality development to companies especially those that need frontline, presentational or general communication skills enhancement. Estudio has the network to assemble the best and the brightest of industry practitioners that will lend glamour and gloss to the usual traditional corporate skills programs without compromising substance and efficiency.
