Sparkle Campus Cutie grand winner Mad Ramos hopes to represent Muslim community
Mad Ramos of the University of Santo Tomas, the grand winner of Sparkle GMA Artist Center's first-ever Campus Cutie Search, isn't just all good looks and talent. He is also a proud Muslim. In Nelson Canlas' report in "24 Oras" Monday, the Spiker Prince of the South shared that he wants to represent the Muslim community. "Gusto kong i-represent 'yung Muslim community na kayang-kaya natin makisabay sa ganitong larangan, sa ganitong industry," shared the 19-year-old. According to Mad, only a few members of the Muslim community enter showbiz, which is one of the reasons that compelled him to "step up." "Ako na 'yung nag-step up para i-represent ang Muslim community and sana maging proud kayo sa 'kin." Mad also said that he was shy throughout the Campus Cutie competition, especially during the workshops and challenges. "Sa dulo lang ako nakabawi, so hindi ko talaga in-expect and Alhamdulillah for this opportunity," he added. Mad bested 19 fellow charming and handsome male students in Sparkle Campus Cutie's finale as he emerged as the Ultimate Campus Cutie on Saturday. His victory was made sweeter with the presence of his family, who came all the way from Mindanao. The judges of the search's final competition included GMA Network Senior Vice President Atty. Annette Gozon-Valdes and Sparkle First Vice President Joy Marcelo. According to Gozon-Valdes, Mad shone during the competition's finale, especially in the question-and-answer portion. "I can see his confidence, malakas 'yung personality niya, malakas 'yung drive niya for excellence, so I think he'll be a very good addition to Sparkle," said Gozon-Valdes. Mad will receive a management contract with Sparkle and will be primed to become the next Kapuso leading man. —CDC, GMA Integrated News
