Creative Talent Marketplace Online
Adobo Magazine | Nov 2009
PortfolioMNL, a dedicated jobsite for all creative industries in the country. The idea of creative jobsearch portal is nothing new — nevertheless, PortfolioMNL is progressive, much like the duo behind it Rina Malonzo and Trina Dela Rama. PortfolioMNL bridges the divide between artist and entreprenuer. The website is extensive, yet easy to navigate. Moreover, the design elegantly frames creatives' curriculum vitae and portfolios while assuring clients that they're among professionals. PortfolioMNL also follows a join > search > click > share process, effectively becoming its own social media. And that, more than anything tells creatives and clients alike "Welcome to the 21st century."

With such success achieved internationally, many people ask Rina why she came back. “My answer has two facets,” she says. “First, I grew up here and it feels like home. Second, I wanted to give something back – I see exceptional creative talent existing here in the Philippines.” Together with her partner, Trina Dela Rama, Rina founded PortfolioMNL, a website that seeks to boost the country’s creative industry by building a bridge between Filipino artists and businesses seeking to hire them. “The website is a platform for creative people to build their professional careers and present their genius to the world,” she says.
