Who am I?

I must say that most people define beauty nowadays as "beauty comes within". However, many people have said it but what does it really mean? For me, beauty is how you inspire other people from your personal traits to your imperfect physical appearance. It can't be called beauty if it is only one way around. In your character, this shows how you would care for yourself, family, friends and the community, how you'll handle people's criticism, how you'll be confident on what God has given and as well as the opportunities He is giving. The saying nobody's perfect is very used globally but we're actually perfect from the God's view. He created us on the way He wanted for us to understand the true beauty of life. We're beautiful differently to each other. We are unique and amazing, we just have to embrace what we're blessed of. Lastly, inspiring people what and how life really is and being part of their change for a betterment, is beauty.


What do I think about The Fashion Hero TV series?

As time goes by, I've got a lot of nicknames but my real name is Jose Marco Permato Esteves. I was born in the Philippines. I was raised well by my family especially by my beloved mom. I grew up and graduated Business Administration but the thing is, nobody really knew that I underwent to severe depression since High School. I lost my confidence that's why I became fascinated with fashion and dreamed of being able to motivate other people as well. My self-esteem is quite low but much better than I was having my depression. As I wanted to be in the modelling industry, standard qualifications to be able to join made me feel of giving up this dream. I felt so short, not handsome and unattractive body. Years passed, I am getting better from my depression and decided not to give up my dreams. I keep on trying whenever I have a chance and time. Even until now, I haven't breakthrough modelling, I believe that time will come and perseverance will pay-off.


Why would I be a great role model for this generation and inspire people as the new face of The Fashion Hero?

1. Travelling (which I haven't really done in my life, financially incapable) 2. Meeting new people from different races and nations. 3. Fitness, even my body isn't fit but wanting to work it out when time and money permits. I started to become interested to sports which I wasn't never been in to. I give at least some time to exercise as often as possible. 4. Fashion and modelling, it's my dream and I wish to be in to it. 5. Giving advice to help boost people's morale and self confidence.
