The initiative brought together student leaders from colleges and universities across the National Capital Region, reflecting the growing role of student creators and campus communities in brand engagement and youth marketing.
Fifteen finalists, selected through four mall auditions and a wildcard round, advanced to the final competition. During the event, participants showcased their talents through acting, singing, and dancing.

Throughout the competition, the finalists highlighted themes of community leadership, confidence, creativity, education, inclusivity, and storytelling. Their presentations reflected how they intend to use digital platforms to engage fellow students and encourage participation within their campuses.
“The vivo Campus Ambassador Program was created to identify students who can communicate with authenticity, collaborate with their communities, and grow alongside the brand,“ said Liu Lu, Brand Marketing Director of vivo Philippines. “The five ambassadors represent different experiences and perspectives, and we look forward to supporting their development over the coming year.“
The selected ambassadors will officially begin their term on August 1, 2026.
As part of the program, each ambassador will receive a Php 5,000 monthly cash incentive for 12 months and access to mentorship sessions led by vivo Philippines marketing professionals covering branding, digital marketing, campaign execution, and communication.
They will also participate in vivo product launches, marketing campaigns, and major brand events, providing firsthand exposure to the company‘s marketing initiatives. Outstanding participants may be considered for internship or employment opportunities with vivo Philippines after graduation, while select ambassadors may also gain access to international learning or exchange opportunities, subject to program availability.
For Parcon, the top-ranked ambassador, the recognition reinforced the message she shared during the competition.
“This opportunity reflects the message I shared during the competition, that everyone deserves to feel seen,“ she said. “I hope to encourage more students to believe in their own potential and take chances on themselves.“
