Show Your Face Part 1: Review with a View

Anyone can be a celebrity--as long as you have the resources or the resourcefulness to do it. This paradigm is the reason why I decided to blog this series of useless observations where people seem to find a need to show their faces.

Let me start off with review centers. (Deep breath...)

Gone are the days when review center ads feature big bold fonts of their names and purpose of existence. Nowadays, it seem to be utterly significant to entice their potential students with their faces, poses, and sense of fashion. Such as this billboard which I see daily whenever I pass by Morayta:

Sorry for the bad photo, the FX driver was trying to beat the yellow traffic light when I took this shot. So for a better look at the Sultan Review Group, here's a shot of them in one of their marketing collaterals:

However, the first time I was caught off guard by an ad like this was with a lightbox featuring a young guy, who, to me, seemed to look like a younger brother of Nyoy Volante. He turned out to be a very intelligent person who can teach nursing students how to pass the board exams with flying colors. He's no other than the "Ultimate Reviewer" himself, Carl E. Balita.



There are a lot of other review centers but this last group is one of the most eye-catching. Even its name sounds big time. Ladies and gentlemen, the Royal Pentagon Review Specialists:




These ads, perhaps, are just some of the perks of nursing students. They become a target audience of such inspiring ads which could be seen in waiting sheds, billboards, and lampost banners. Also, it removes the surprise of finding out what your teachers would look like. With ads like this, you get the privilege of getting the vibe on who you want to teach you.

Take your pick! :)
