Models, Talents and Independent Artist's Professional Associations

Professional Model Association of the Philippines is an organization ran by models.

PMAP was established on February 11, 1987 and is based out of the Philippine Islands.  They have many programs that deal with talents and management.  Their services include maintaining and improving standards for seeking professional services and of legal and financial consultants.   As an association mostly mistaken to be an agency they have honed to be one of South East Asia’s most promising associations to be trusted by most industries in the world.  They have brought together and fostered unity among the fashion industry not just the Philippines but around the world. 

I particularly like the especial project and event that they hold annually to include the annual outreach programs like the World Wildlife Foundation.

All in all I particularly wrote about these three association’s because these are trusted and guaranteed professionals that I would involve myself with for future work with models, independent artist and for anyone that wants to learn more about what this industry and the future of our industry in its entirety.

Nowadays Dreams are sold and that is not what I am or the people around me are about.  I think that one should follow their dreams, but at the same time get educated about it before just jumping the gun with all these different obstacles that people put other people through.  Communication will always be key in any form of marketing and networking that’s why I look for positive people to work with so that I may educate myself and others of my trial and tribulations throughout my life and dealing with the on growing industry today.
