Junia, a member of the vocal group 14K, is now serving as the president of the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP). She believes that arts-related government agencies like CCP should support local talents such as the popular Filipino boy group SB19. Junia considers SB19 as ambassadors for the Philippines and acknowledges their integration of dance steps from indigenous peoples and their use of costumes made from local textiles during their performance at CCP.
Junia expressed her plans to respond to the challenges brought by digital technology transformation and to keep stakeholders satisfied during the three-year renovation plan of the CCP building. As the youngest CCP president at 47, Junia aims to connect with a younger audience through art integration and digital technology. She emphasized the importance of promoting CCP through social media and other digital platforms.
Furthermore, Junia intends to support SB19 by discovering raw talents from different regions and training them under experts from CCP. She shared her own experience as a former child singer and member of 14K, mentioning their rigorous training in dance, group singing, personality development, and acting. Junia plans to implement a comprehensive training program for performers similar to what K-pop artists receive.
Junia, who is also a voice teacher and owns a school called Musikgarten Manila, wants to pass on everything she learned from her mentors to younger talents. She believes in developing artists and aims to increase their range and skill through proper training.
With the ongoing renovation of the CCP building, Junia intends to bring CCP’s programs and events to various regions in the Philippines. She sees CCP as more than just a building and wants to share its soul with a greater number of people across the country.
Reflecting on her own experiences of being told she was “too young” to participate in contests or training, Junia sees rejection as a challenge that she could overcome. She believes that her previous experiences and training have prepared her for her role as CCP president, and she is confident that she can contribute a lot with her pure intentions.
Overall, Junia’s focus as CCP president is on supporting local talents, connecting with a younger audience, utilizing digital technology, and expanding CCP’s reach to different regions in the Philippines.
