KIDS with huge talents captured hearts in SM’s Little Stars 2014 held at the SM Mall of Asia Centerstage.

It was a shining night for SM City Clark’s Chun Sa Angela R. Jung, 5, and SM City Iloilo’s Jun Carlos D. Gumacal, 6, who were named SM Little Stars 2014.

Lovable Chun Sa, who wants to become a doctor someday, wowed the crowd with her dancing and modeling moves, while Jun Carlos, who dreams of becoming a dancer, amazed the audience with his moves.

The two tots received P200, 000 worth of cash and shopping money, plus a five days and four night’s trip to China for two with round trip tickets, hotel accommodations and tour. 

They also got four-year College Scholarship Grant from National University; John Robert Powers’ Basic Personality Development Program; and a Music Academy Scholarship from Trumpets Workshop. Other prizes included Toy Kingdom Gift Certificates worth P10,000 and a 10 hour session on the Future Leaders Program, both worth P20,000 each.
