Davao City — The World Travel Expo 2025, a
three-day celebration of tourism themed “Discover Beauty, Explore Freely,” successfully concluded at Abreeza Ayala Mall from May 30 to June 1. Among the many exhibitors and performances that captivated attendees, one of the standout highlights was the stage presentation by Mindanao Fashion Star Davao (MFSDVO) on the second day of the EXPO.

Fifteen student models from MFSDVO took the spotlight in a spirited showcase marked by confident runway walks, poised stage presence, and undeniable charisma. Their performance captivated the audience and reflected the high standard of mentorship and training the organization provides, offering a glimpse into the rising talent within Mindanao’s fashion and creative scene.

Fashion as a Catalyst for Empowerment

Established in April 2024, Mindanao Fashion Star Davao is both a modeling academy and a non-profit organization dedicated to empowering young individuals. Through a comprehensive approach that combines personality development, performance
skills, discipline, and leadership training,
MFSDVO aims to shape confident, purpose-driven individuals prepared to excel within and beyond the fashion industry.

Leading this initiative is CEO Janah Billones, whose visionary leadership fuels the organization’s mission. She is supported by a
dedicated mentorship team that includes Director and Head Mentor Coach Jay, Modeling Coach Mikka Angellie Del Campo, and Pasarela Coach Jamaica Antisoda. Together, they foster a nurturing environment where each student receives guidance not just in modeling but in personal and professional growth.

A Commitment Beyond the Runway

Beyond training, MFSDVO is also a platform for advocacy. Through its Love and Family Foundation, the organization carries out impactful community outreach activities such as feeding programs and relief
