Anew batch of i-Shiners is on the way with the launch of Promil Pre-School i-Shine Talent Camp 2, a reality TV program that aims to discover the most talented pre-schoolers in the country and together with their parents, further hone their gifts to excellence.

Already on its second year, Promil Pre-School i-Shine Talent Camp has grown to become bigger and better offering more comprehensive development programs, bigger prizes and standout winners. Open to kids above three to seven years old, the program will be divided into three main performing categories–singing, dancing and acting–with the top scorers bringing home P200,000 in cash. The Grand i-Shiner, determined by the participant with the highest marks, will also bring home an additional P300,000 in cash, Star Magic and Promil Pre-School Talent contracts and 1-year supply of Promil Pre-School.

This year, another batch of celebrated performers will mentor the young contestants to bring out their best talents. The new mentors are led by award-winning actor, recording artist and movie producer Piolo Pascual. With Piolo are acclaimed stage actress and acting coach Pinky Amador ang G-Force founder dance instructor and choreographer Georcelle Dapat.

The impressive credentials and vast experiences of the celebrity coaches will undoubtedly make them the ideal guiding hands that will mold contestants whose ages range from above 3 to 7 years old.

Aside from the coaches, Promil Pre-School i-Shine Talent Camp 2 will also feature the returning hosts Dimples Romana, Matteo Guidicelli and Xian Lim return for the second season. All three are successful performers who are living proof of what early training can produce.

Matteo was a young champion racer. Xian honed his musical and creative skills as a boy. Dimples began her professional acting career when she was barely out of her tweens. “We are very excited to work with our new mentors and to reunite with our talented hosts to nurture the potential of our talented children. Promil Pre-School i-Shine Talent Camp 2 is going to be a platform for parents to support, nurture and capture their kids’ talent developing to excellence. Through this, we hope to inspire more parents to discover and develop the talents of their own children,” said Promil Pre-School Senior Product Manager Rhea Villareal.

“Promil Pre-School’s i-Shine Talent Camp 2″ premieres on June 8, right before Be Careful With My Heart Sabado Rewind on ABS-CBN Channel 2.
