Alexa Ilacad was thrilled she was chosen as the newest brand ambassador of Bum clothing. She relayed her excitement during the Bum press conference at the Sequoia Hotel. Her first photo shoot was a pleasant experience since she was already friends with her fellow brand ambassadors. She was also happy to receive a warm welcome from her Bum family.
At her contract signing with Bum, the fifteen-year-old Alexa talked about being home schooled because of her busy schedule. Her education is important to her because she wants something to fall back on since showbiz is not a permanent thing.
The Bum event started off with Alexa’s contracting signing, followed by a live performance by the trio called M3rge.
Then Nash Aguas appeared much to Alexa’s surprise. He came to support the other half of the NLex love team. Nash is also one of Bum’s ambassadors along with ABS-CBN’s Ella Cruz, Jane Oineza, and GMA’s Bianca Umali and Miguel Tanfelix to complete the Black Army. Alexa felt comfortable with Nash’s presence especially at work “Masaya, magwork pag-meron kang ka-close. Si Nash, nakatulong talaga siya sa akin sa shoot kasi naging mas masaya ang first shoot ko with Bum,” she shared.
