Fifteen semifinalists were selected from over 100 Adamson University students who signed up for Auctionista, the longest-running online model search in the country. An Auction.ph search team recently raided the university to install a contest registration booth. A total of 106 male and female Adamsonians signed-up for the competition and posed for photo ops during the 3-day registration period.
Auction.ph executives then selected the top fifteen who can best represent the fun and dynamic image of the website. The fifteen semifinalists are (left to right, from top to bottom): Ashly Arrieta, Jarhameel Militar, Joana Gallo, Kristin Calapati, Rachelle Sy, Roma Encabo, Shabreena Muniz, Trina Bahala, Jennico Gorospe, Jhon Choi, Jong Pyo Kim, Joseph Villato, Maynard Santiago, Neil Coleta and Noel Samulde. More photos and profiles of the candidates are available on the Auctionista event page (http://events.auction.ph/index.php?module=ModelContest).
Fans of the online search are invited to vote for their picks starting on July 18 by following the link above. Voters get a chance to win over Php5,000.00 worth of e-money. The voting period will end on July 31 and the official Adamson Auctionistas shall be revealed the following day on August 1. Winners of the online voting component shall also be displayed on the page.
Auctionista – the search for the next Auction.ph models was launched in November 2007. Since then, four universities have been visited, over 250 students have signed-up for the competition and over 26,000 online votes have been cast.

I think this are the best thing to choose our new autionista, for the new look of models in our website. All models are good looking but, for this Search, we need the most and popular person. to be the one of top model in acution.ph company.

Hi Mike! Actually, the 15 featured in the post are Adamson semifinalists. Two emerged as Adamson Auctionistas after the online voting period and they are Trina Bahala and Noel Samulde. We are still planning the finals of Auctionista wherein Trina and Noel will compete with other finalists from seven other universities.
