Star Dream Girl: Angela Silverio

Angela Silverio, who is half-Filipino and half-Indian, is a 21-year-old Public Relations and Mass Communications graduate of Thames International Business School.

A Bb. Pilipinas 2001 finalist and also the recipient of the Ms. Congeniality award, 5 ft. 6 in. Angela does ramp, print ad and TV commercials.

"Modeling is my top priority," begins Angela. "I wish to make it in the international (modeling) scene. But before this I want to do modeling in the (Asian) region, countries like Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia."

Being a model for five years, Angela has learned and mustered the "do’s" and "don’t’s" or the "what’s hot" and "what’s cold" in the industry.

"As a model, I improve on a daily basis," says Angela. "I should discipline myself by going to the gym to work out. I update my clothes and styles so they will look great on me. I also market myself by sending my portfolios and creating a website."

Just like supermodels and mannequins Naomi Campbell, Claudia Schiffer and Aleck Wek, Angela must work on her "it" factor, creating a recall to the public and agents as well.

"I think it’s my look," says Angela, the daughter of businessman Ding Silverio and the former Nani Sehwani, a real estate broker. "I’m like a chameleon. My look changes with different poses, shoots and pictures. I do not look the same. My exotic look is my edge."

Angela, who loves traveling, belly dancing and scuba diving, loves art. "I’m very creative. I like making simple things to great ones."

Angela believes, "I think there’s not much difference. Both cultures are conservative, religious and respectful of their heritage and traditions." –Jerry Donato
