STAR DREAM GIRL: Via Romualdez

If there’s one thing teener Via Lhiz Cecille Romualdez is passionate about these days, it’s her interest in fashion and beauty.

With her striking good looks and model build, Via can give some of our young models stiff competition.

Given the chance, she hopes to follow in the footsteps of teen sensations Toni Gonzaga and Heart Evangelista, who have successfully juggled show business and endorsements. Like her idols, Via would like to do modeling for print and TV commercials.

This petite beauty is an incoming third year high school student at the La Consolacion College in Mendiola. Via is the daughter of Ramon Romualdez of The STAR and the former Jeannette Casuyon, an entrepreneur. Via is the granddaughter of veteran newspaperman Pocholo Romualdez.

In her spare time, Via sings; she prefers R & B and alternative music. In the summer, she rows twice a week at the picturesque Manila Bay. For now, Via concentrates on her studies to achieve her goal in life – to become a fashion designer cum wedding planner. To achieve this, she wants to study in a fashion school and eventually create exquisite wedding gowns and resort wear.

"A STAR Dream Girl is a role model," concludes Via. "She is someone who can inspire others to be good and to do good."–Jerry Donato
