In today’s changing times, being new takes courage – and there’s no label that does it like Cornerstone Entertainment.
Through the years, the company has grown from being a talent agency to becoming a full-fledged entertainment company with its own TV and movie outfit, music label, recording studios, and events team, among many others.
But if there is one thing that Cornerstone (CS) has never stopped doing, it’s their continuous search for the next breed of artists. The agency is now taking this pursuit to the next level by putting a name to its new batch of multimedia stars.
With the help of their Artist Lab, CS sought the help of the country’s top directors Bb. Joyce Bernal, Dan Villegas, Antonette Jadaone, Rod Marmol, and Irene Villamor to prepare these next-level artists to usher in the new form of entertainment.

With the goal of diversity, the talents came from different walks of life, but have one goal to make their mark in this ever-evolving entertainment industry.
“This is actually a long time in the making. We’re already building them up for the longest time and we feel that after so much training and preparation, this is the ideal time for them to be introduced as part of the growing CS family,” said Vice President of CS Entertainment, Jeff Vadillo.
“We’re always on the lookout for new talents so definitely as far as CS Entertainment is concerned, the launching of new talents will never end. We still have a lot in store in the coming days,” Vadillo added.
