ICON Elites Artist Management (IEAM), one of the fast-rising modeling and artist agencies in Davao City, nailed another remarkable fashion show, this time it was for a cause.
Dubbed "Unleashed Potential 2023", the fashion show was for the benefit of the children at the Fields of Dreams Children's Charity Foundation.
Held on July 29, 2023 at the Pavilion La Herencia Davao, the grandiose event was hosted by Hanna Maj Piccio and guested by none other than the "Pambansang Uga, Beybi ghourl Rowell Divina", a Mindanaoan content creator with over 1.2 million followers on social media.

"My intentionl is to support and unleash the potentials of my talents from something out of nothing," he said, adding that he aims for IEAM to be a producer of good talents with a good heart.
"Not just for fame but for love!" Paul added.
The night was filled with inspiration, unity, and support. Seeing the kids from 6 years old to 12 years old and teens from 13 years old to 23 years old showcasing what they have is indeed promising and exciting.
The event was also able to gather for IEAM two sacks of rice for its beneficiaries as it will be conducting a feeding program today, August 5, 2023 at the Fields of Dreams Children's Charity Foundation along with its sponsors.
