It's been nearly a year since the Candy Council of Cool made its much-awaited comeback—can you believe it? Following last year's successful relaunch, we're now ready to welcome the third batch of young talents for our official internship program. These social media butterflies and up-and-coming journalists are also all set to ~spice up~ the digital space with creative content for their fellow Gen Z readers!
Learn more about our nine new interns below:Â
Renee AguilaÂ
Renee is a 21-year-old sophomore who studies Multimedia Arts at De La Salle - College of Saint Benilde. Aside from being a concept artist, she also dreams of building her own at-home library and watching a Twenty One Pilots concert.Â
Malcolm Angoya
If you love NCT, Bojack Horseman, and all things writing, Malcolm is your next BFF. After she graduates from Far Eastern University this year, she plans to volunteer for non-profit organizations and write her very own screenplay.
Rai de los Reyes
From living independently to being a self-published artist, Rai has big dreams to achieve before she turns 30 years old. In the meantime, she's devoted to reading her heart out as an AB Literature junior at De La Salle University.Â
Faye Domingo

Mariel Roja
Mariel's dream job is to be a journalist, so it comes as no surprise that she's now an Editorial Intern for Candy. When she's not busy cranking out stories, this FEU student is binge-watching Black Mirror and getting lost in several books.Â

Max Valdez
As expected from a Gen Z fangirl, Max is unapologetically obsessed with DonBelle and Taylor Swift. In the future, the University of Caloocan City student wants to be a singer-songwriter, a wife, a psychologist, and a cafĂ© shop owner all at once.Â
Patcy Zotomayor
A Business Administration major at Enderun Colleges, Patcy is our resident fashion girl. This self-confessed Gemini strives to travel the world in style by herself before her 25th birthday.
