Manager’s note When I started in Campaigntrack, all I aimed for was my own career growth. I loved leading people so I applied when I had a chance 4 years ago. From then, the team grew from 4 people to, now, 20 amazing people. When you’re a leader, you get the best view of your people. You can see them growing each day hence, I changed my perception in life. It is not all about me now, it is about the people I work with and how I can help them achieve their dreams. I would not be here without them. I am here to guide them and possibly take them to a less curvy road. Have I not told you how amazing they are? When I asked for a family photo, they gave me a Team Magazine proposal. That’s how innovative, passionate and people-focused they are. They are amazingly genius to come up with this idea that allows everyone to show their story. Get to know them all and I promise, you will be amazed. Ladies and Gents, Team NSW | Manila!

mish mishael ferrer
“She has a heart that’s bold and loves honestly.”
In a world where realness is sometimes taken as offensive, Mishael has no problem dishing out the truth. She believes everyone deserves it just as much as she does — and she couldn’t be any more right. But she does share something common with other people, and that is the habit of overthinking. The art of coming up with problems when there shouldn’t be any really isn’t art. But for her, these two traits have shaped her and are constantly reminding her that she’s a work in progress. And when she’s not dropping truth bombs or overthinking, she can be found reading books, singing, or binge-watching films and tv shows.
hannah hannah puesto
“Life’s too short to miss out on things she loves.” Hannah strongly believes in living life to the fullest. You only live once, as they say. But that doesn’t mean it’s all adventures and all fun, but financially-draining adult stuff as well. Like a true millennial, she’s perfected the art of balancing things. For her, it’s all about equally channeling her energy, time, and effort to what truly matters. And with that, I guess you could call her sentimental, too. Sometimes she puts too much importance on something or someone, and emotions just get in the way of being rational… but that’s just life, right? The heart wants what it wants. One thing’s for sure though — she may love to socialize with friends, but she’ll always make time for family. And of course, her dogs.
“It’s not so difficult to hold on to things as long as it makes his heart full.” Anjelo may look intimidating at first, but you’ll soon see that he’s all soft and mushy inside. Once you get past the tough demeanor, you’ll find yourself in the company of someone who’s all about caring for and loving people. He takes pride in being observant, but he’s admittedly self-conscious. He can easily tell if people are being genuine or not. And as for himself, he really cares what people think of him. Sometimes almost to a fault. His ability to see through other people lets him build more meaningful relationships. And speaking of relationships, Jelo loves writing poems for that special someone. He’s also always willing to go the extra mile for people close to him. Swoon worthy? Definitely. And wait ‘til you hear about his six furry friends!

bea bea aguila
“She’ll adjust the sails, but never the destination.” Bea knows and gets what she wants. And not because of some dumb luck, either. She works hard for it, as you should when you’re after something. For Bea, she can get anything as long as she sets her mind to it. She would always like to get things done. She always does what she can do today rather than postponing it for tomorrow. Aside from her happy-go-lucky personality, she’s also a natural at spreading good vibes wherever she goes. She mingles well with everyone, too! She also is a proud fur-parent to the adorable Pryna the Pom. Her favorite activity? Eating. But can you blame her, really? Being a hustler can be tiring and we all need a bit of a break sometimes. It may be in the form of ice cream or other comfort food… or showcasing self-taught skills such as barking or imitating a whistle bomb.
cindy cindy incensario
“She is the driver of her own destiny. She makes sure she know where she’s going.” From her warm greetings in the morning, Cindy is someone who helps you keep a smile on your face. She may appear soft and gentle but she can always bring her bright side on to share some funny stories with the team. Even when she gets frustrated with her clients’ issues, she remains gentle and composed that you’ll have to verify if she really is stressed. She does tend to be a stickler for perfection as she despises failing. Don’t take it the wrong way though, it’s just a testament to her greatness since you know she always tries her best. Aside from her love for the little joys and simple things in life, she also had a stint wherein she enjoyed being a ballroom and folk dancer. This girl would always take you by surprise! Quite the contrary of her meekness, she’s into tattoos and martial arts. Truly just means that you can never know anyone until you have met them.
pia pia guerrero
“Grace and grit, above all.”
Pia is no stranger to life’s adversities, but that’s not her defining trait. Rather, it’s what has become of her — a warrior. Strong, resilient, and unwavering. But tough doesn’t mean heartless. She’s actually one of the most passionate people you’ll ever meet! She’s perfected the habit of pouring her heart out for the things that interest her, and people who need her kindness. If she keeps you close, consider yourself lucky. #blessed, even. Because, you see, only few people has the privilege of really knowing her. She carefully picks who gets to be in her social circle. A defense mechanism of some sort, and a way to make sure that she’s grounded and motivated to become the best version of herself. After all, you’re the average of the five people you surround yourself with! She loves the usual: watching movies and TV shows, reading books, and of course spending quality time with family and friends. She has an artistic side, too! She can draw, paint, sketch, and best of all, sleep for the whole day.
kata katrina aguilar
“She is a natural-born shapeshifter, whatever you need, she can be.” Kata ’s height is truly proportional to how big her heart is. As a child brought up by two moms #LoveWins and losing them both at such a young age, Kata has learned to enjoy every moment of life as it comes and goes. Even though she has experienced those, she didn’t become blasé towards the adventure of life. Truly a friend to everyone, she has mastered the art of understanding the people around her and adapting in the best possible way she can. Despite her sweet, melodious speaking voice, her work and attitude speak volumes of how she actually is as a person. Some of her skills include: being the retouching queen of Team NSW a.k.a. the sensei of photoshop and EVO. She can make mean meals like no one has ever tasted before, dance like no one is watching, and laugh like no one is listening. Webster’s Dictionary might feel pressured to put Kata’s picture right up next to the word versatile. Kidding aside, if ever you’d need anyone to plan your next birthday party or need a gentle push for a venture that you’ve been putting off for so long, Kata is your ride or die person.
“He is as honest and open as he can be; This is his own #TrueStory” With his blinding smile and light-hearted disposition, NSW’s OG baby boy Luis, a.k.a. Logs, is the type of guy that you can approach about anything under the sun; whether as a colleague or as a friend. A lover of warm hugs and laughs, deep conversations and quality time with his friends and family, he values being true to himself and to the people around him—so much so that he wears his heart on his sleeve and is deemed as an open book. But don’t be fooled by his bright persona, this photography enthusiast-slash-dancer, also has a deep take on how he would like to live his life - to the fullest, with no regrets, and absolutely no pretenses. Although he has yet to figure out what he’d like to do in life, he still invites a great outlook for what’s in store for him. See him go big or go home through the lens of his can-do attitude and positivity in the next coming months - he’s as #TrueStory as he can ever be.

jousch jousch parra
“She is as simple as she is strong-willed. She is a celebration of her own different colours.” Kind and caring yet sassy and headstrong, she is a rainbow made out of different, vivid colours. She presents herself by matching a person’s unique shade, but each hue is still a representation of her true self. Perhaps you can get a glimpse of yourself by observing how she is with you; as Jousch definitely picks up the greatest qualities in a person and uses that to win their hearts. Not only does she empathize with people, but she also has a way with her words. She is not shy with expressing her thoughts, and she does it in a way that brings out the sun on a rainy day. And though sometimes her sun shines way too bright for some people, she still takes pride in knowing that she did not let anyone dull her light. A lover of many things, she is naturally curious and likes to try every little thing that piques her interest. Always one with a vision, but sometimes this vision gets blurred when her interests all join together and she loses track of where she needs to start. And while this makes her anxious of the things she can’t control, her ability to eloquently express her woes allows people to give her a helping hand and guide her back to her path. Looking for someone to connect with in a creative level? Jousch is your go-to person, as she is an artist in her own way. From singing to performing, painting to poetry, she wears her heart in her art. And if that’s what it takes to make her friends happy, she would never think it is a bad idea to be very sappy.
kath kathleen mendoza
“The epitome of posh and fabulosity, everything she does, she does it with finesse.”
Say bonjour to the team’s beauty and fashion stunner, Kath. When the sea foam formed, out came she — bedecked with glitter highlighter and tassel earrings — and NOT Aphrodite. Flattery aside, she is a serious person who means business when a task is at hand. Although she may come across as shy and wary of her surroundings, her unassuming aura made her one of the best people to talk to regarding the ropes of what to do and not to do in the office. She is a trusty colleague and friend, as connecting with her clients and workmates have never been an issue to her. Her radiance doesn’t only stop in her clothes and her astonishing way of calming her clients down, she is one heck-of-a gifted girl. Her passion for hosting and singing has gotten her to plenty of great heights. Truly a crowd favourite at every CT event, this girl would do everything she can to make sure that everyone is having the best of their time.
jess jessica razon
“She bring smiles and laughs just by her presence. She can turn your frown upside down” The angel and darling of Team NSW, even Mike P would agree when we say that wherever Jessica is and whatever Jessica is doing, she would truly get her tasks completed and submitted way ahead of time. Jess is a reliable teammate and friend, trusted to bring a smile to your face whenever she’s around. She is an excellent listener with a knack for details—just imagine the thousands of excel sheets she has to generate to be able to come up with numbers that the company uses to track down the hours of everyone’s jobs; numbers that instantly translate to profit and success. Although she has a cheerful aura, she admits to being thin-skinned as she tends to get hurt easily. She knows the feeling that’s why she can easily sympathize with the people around her. This is probably one of the reasons why she has a big heart who is always willing to lend a hand. Apart from her soft side, she has a goofy side, too! One that has a guilty pleasure for shopping. The team calls her the online shopping queen of NSW as a week never goes by without a courier knocking on the office doors calling out Jessica’s name. Truly, this girl knows how to reward herself as she knows that when something is asked of her, she does it as speedy and accurately as she can.
“She is a free soul with an independent will.”
This happy-go-lucky gal knows a thing or two about seizing the diem. While some people find it uncomfortable, she gets excited over unplanned happenings. For Faith, the unexpected events are always the best -- you learn something and gain memories! As long as she’s happy at the end of the day, that what matters most. Her extroversion lets her easily express her feelings and be in different social circles. But it’s not all fun and games with this girl. Once she gets turned off or gets her trust broken, it’s over for you. Sorry, that’s just how it is. It’s a defensive armor shielding her from the toxicity of the world. Maybe that’s why she’s so happy all the time! Negativity has no place in her life… just lots and lots of dog videos, lifestyle vlogs, and the conspiracy theories.

arvie arvie surio
“He will always make you wonder, don’t say you haven’t been warned”.
Arvie, the InDesign Golden boy-slash-seemingly quiet and mysterious yet undeniably jolly sensei of NSW. He is the type of guy that you wouldn’t really know at first glance as his calm and collected demeanor has always succeeded in concealing his soft side. A self-proclaimed perfectionist, Arvie says that sometimes it gets tiring since he always needs to be on-point all the time. As he doesn’t deny the fact that he is knowledgeable in his own craft, he is still wary of being in the spotlight too much since he likes to keep to himself. Though that is the case, it has never stopped Arvie from hanging out with his teammates whenever he pleased. He is called sensei of the team as he has trained and guided some of the ACs into who they are right now. If those aren’t enough to deem him as one of the masters, he also has some tricks up in his sleeves. He is a great layout designer with an eye for aesthetics—he’s got a freelance job of his own. He is also the epitome of “work smart” as he sees to it that he works as efficiently and as fast as he can without breaking a sweat, whilestill looking like an Adonis at that. Whatever task you hand him, he makes sure he gets them done—in the most smooth and foolproof way.
crissy crissy silvestre
“She handles things with the end goal in mind; Mind over matter, as always” Although unnoticeable, Crissy loves being goofy by spending her time joking around with her friends. A sports jock, she can hit shuttlecocks way faster than you can see—probably one of the secrets on how she maintains her svelte figure. When she’s not battling in the arena, she spends quality time with her family and friends by traveling to whichever corner of the planet her shoes can take her. It would most probably surprise you, but Crissy also has a soft side. She strives to put positivity and maturity first and makes sure that her worries and fears won’t catch up to her goals, as best as she can. Should you need to hit some shuttlecocks or even just go on a food trip, there is no doubt that this girl can give you one of the best time of your life.
sam samantha sumawang
“She is a sunflower. She prefers the light, the bright, and the positive.” Even from across the room, it’s definitely hard not to miss Samantha’s presence. Her voice is as perky as her personality and her attentiveness to her surroundings is hard to deny. Definitely one to have nice good chats with, you can talk to her about anything and everything under the sun. While she is mostly optimistic, she does tend to get emotional and start talking about her fears or lack of confidence. But as common colds can be cured by medication, just send her cute Husky photos to chase away the gloom. She loves photography, so feel free to snap some shots with her. Admittedly a God-fearing person, it is not hard to miss why she is blessed.
shene sharlene adove
“She has deep pools of wisdom in her mind. She may be shy but take a dip anytime.” She may look quiet at first, but Shene is definitely great company once you get to know her better. Always swimming in her deep thoughts, she tends to be quiet most days— that is until you start talking about fandoms and books or food—as she definitely loves food. You may find her hard to approach at the beginning, but once you find something in common with her, she gets friendlier and chattier. A true artist in her own way, you can always approach her about arts and design and you’ll probably see how she can both be silly and playful at times. Though she tends to be an awkward penguin, she too does not need to fly—she just naturally exudes a pleasant aura that draws people to her.
“She is super friendly, warm and fuzzy. She is a friend to everybody.� With Jan, what you see is what you get. She is consistently warm and is always down for some great conversations. She knows how to read people well and focuses on the similarities rather than the differences. As a moodsetter, she always exudes positivity. She is a happy-go-lucky girl and sometimes prefers to shove the worries and stress away. Though at times she needs some hand to hold in times of crisis, her best trait is still her ability to make everyone feel included even in the most problematic situations. A true outdoorsy type, you can join her many adventures. Whether you prefer a good game of football, a nice workout session, or a big bowl of ramen, nothing says game better than Jan.
jan jan canicosa
“She is a mother, a daughter, a sister, a friend. She can be what you need her to be.” Known by everyone as a tiger mama, Myanne is a fighter and a firm protector of her cubs. She never hesitates to make a stand especially when she knows she’s fighting for the right thing. With her tough love, she does not hold back—whether she needs to praise you or tell you off. She is an amazing friend but can also play the villain if that’s what it takes to fix a situation. Like a super that she is, she can taylor-fit her personality to what is needed by the person or a situation. And while she may not be as giving when it comes to food, everyone knows that her passion for the people most dear to her is as strong as her passion with eating spicy food. A self-proclaimed chill person, she is definitely someone every team needs.

jet
bridgette malabanan
“She is a lover of the absurd and the weird. She makes people laugh at her weirdness.” When the team talks about competence, it’s not hard to home in on Bridgette. Jet, like her superhero name, has great powers through her skills and knowdlege. And while she’s no Supergirl, she is a super in her work and is a crowd favourite to call on for help. She works hard and plays hard—always finiding some time to insert entertainment and lots of laughs. However, she does tend to close off and hide in her cape when too much emotions get involved. But much like overcooked cookied, she just throws out the bad batch and starts afresh with a positive disposition. She claims to make some mean burgers and grilled cheese, but while those she has yet to prove, there is no doubt that she is a Master Chef in her own craft.
cesca cesca gomez
“She is a post to be leaned on. Anything you may need, she has.” With almond eyes and wild brunette curls that match her astonishing wit and great personality—Cesca is your seonsaengnim for anything Korean. From KDrama, KPop, KLang to KFood, she definitely knows the ins and outs of what’s hot and what’s not. A disclaimer though, while she is a fanatic of the fun and bubbly K world, she enjoys her quiet time with her various selection of novels and does tutoring on the side to keep her thinking hat on point. Not only is she smart, but her ability to adapt well in various situations have made her into one of the most reliable people in the team, since time immemorial. With a great sense of intelligence and emotional balance, she is an absolute dazzler with her JT, BM, CT systems’ knowledge while still being able to support the people around her. She knows how and when to listen to the calls of the people around her even sometimes at the expense of her own needs. Well, what can we say, she cares and loves hard—truly a quality hard to master, yet she certainly embodies every meaning of it. Need a friend to perk you up? Need a colleague to guide you through the system? Or you just need a duet buddy for just about any genre of music? Cesca is your go-to girl for all things exciting and meaningful.
ellen ellen ceballos
“She is tiny but with a huge personality. She exudes unparalleled charms.”
One of NSW Superstars’ pioneer members, Ellen sees every challenge as an aopportunity for herself and her team. A true problem solver, she finds absolute purpose when she marks cases closed and contributes to the peace of mind of her colleagues. She takes pride in her ability to get things done, and once her game face comes on, there is no room for worry over the matter. While her tiny hands would represent the time she posseses against all the items on her to-do list, these hands work wonders and thus make use of her time in the best way possible. But don’t let her competence intimidate you, because deep down she is warm and humble. And as someone who is never afraid to start from the bottom, there really is no other way to go but up.
