Accelerate your Confidence at the Spotlight Personality Empowerment Workshop!

We're leveling up this summer with a brand-new module for the Personality Empowerment workshop. For our 5th year, we're stepping up with a 5-module program called ACTS-L (prounounced as axel). 

The Program Director Jill Palarca introduced this new program at the Sunsilk DreamStarter Fair held at the Abreeza Mall last October 2014, where she was invited to be one the speakers and mentors during the event.

For Teacher Jill, empowerment can be done through the ACTS-L principle. It's all about how you

• ACCEPT yourself
• CARRY yourself
• THINK about things
• SPEAK to people
• LOVE Life

For each principle, Teacher Jill has prepared exercises and activities to bring out the best in each workshop participant:

• Module 1: ACCEPT 
• self-awareness 
• social media responsibility
• anti-bullying tips
• socialization/team building exercises
• Module 2: CARRY 
• basic make-up lessons 
• fashion styling
• print modelling
• ramp modelling
• Module 3: THINK
• creative writing 
• campus leadership activities
• Module 4: SPEAK 
• public speaking
• emceeeing
• radio DJ-ing, acting
• Module 5: LOVE LIFE 
• compassion and faith 
• goal-setting

As someone who has gone through bullying and life tragedies when she was young,  Teacher Jill knows how important it is for teenagers to have positive role models to get through this tough phase called adolescence.

During the workshop, participants will experience fun activities like beauty and fashion makeovers, fashion pictorials, and music video shoots. The workshop will culminate in a fashion runway show.

The program director, Jill Palarca is a director, writer, and producer, independent filmmaker, Communication Arts professor, events manager, and marketing consultant. She has directed MTV VJs such as KC Montero, KC Concepcion, Belinda Panelo, Sarah Meier, Patty Laurel, Cindy Kurleto, Andi Manzano, Marc Abaya, and more. She is also an award-winning screenplay writer at the Mindanao Film Festival.

The Spotlight Personality Empowerment Workshop started in 2011 and has produced teen beauty queens, models, and campus leaders since then.

Spotlight Program Director Jill Palarca Speaks at the Sunsilk Dreamstarter Fair Davao

Sunsilk took its campaign of inspiring girls through fun-filled and inspiring stories up a notch through the shampoo brand’s first ever DreamStarter Fair in Davao last October 19, Sunday at the Abreeza Mall activity center.

The event was meant to inspire girls to pursue their dreams by engaging them in pampering activities and informative talks on their dream career. There were fair attractions such as a Pop-up Salon, where the Hairkada’s tresses were pampered using Sunsilk Strong and Long plus other products from the line.

The Take a Chance Wall was a montage of shout outs ranging from silly to downright daring to in support of affirming the participants’ dreams. The rest of the fair grounds were dedicated to a mix of activities catering to those who are into baking, jewelry-making, and make-up.

Industry experts were set to pitch in with career how-to’s: from resumé writing, power dressing to skill set upgrading. JILL PALARCA, Spotlight Workshops Program Director was invited to be one of its main speakers. She talked about Personality Empowerment for teens; giving the crowd a crash course on the 10-module program of Spotlight Workshops.
