To help promote youth empowerment, Sun Cellular is supporting Miss Teen Philippines 2014, the premiere nationwide search for the next female youth role model.

First held in 2004, the annual search holds regional screenings and pageants in key cities of Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, and culminates with a grand coronation night. As technology partner of Miss Teen Philippines, Sun Cellular will provide candidates with Sun Prepaid SIM and Call cards. Sun Cellular will also award Sun Postpaid mobile kits to regional winners which they can use to update their mobile diary and document their activities leading to the grand coronation night.

Aside from Sun Cellular products, Miss Teen Philippines candidates will also get the unique opportunity to be part of the Sun immersion program where they can do product demos and interact with customers at selected Sun Shops.

“We are proud and happy to partner with Miss Teen Philippines in promoting positive behavior and providing new and exciting opportunities to the youth,” said Jocel Adorable, Sun Cellular AVP for Brand Activations. “Our support for the nationwide search reinforces our commitment to empower individuals with various tools and venues to achieve success in life. We thus encourage our subscribers to be part of this nationwide campaign,” Adorable added.

As part of its partnership with Miss Teen Philippines, Sun Cellular will provide its subscribers with a text polling platform that will allow them to vote for their favorite candidates. To vote for a Miss Teen Philippines candidate, just text MTP space (region) space (candidate’s no.) send to 5656. (Ex: MTP NCR 20). The winner of the text poll will receive the Sun Cellular “Good Choice Award” and a Sun Broadband Prepaid Kit, while the grand winner of Miss Teen Philippines 2014 will be signed up as a brand ambassador of Sun Cellular for one year.

Aside from prizes for the Miss Teen Philippines candidates, Sun Cellular will also be raffling off Sun Broadband jackets to new subscribers of the Easy Broadband 699 Plan.
