Globe Studio's Disney Princess: I Dare to Dream

     I dream of becoming a doctor when I was a child. I also dream of becoming a professional race car driver when I was in high school. We all have dreams not one but many, am I right? We dream of things that we want to achieve five, ten, or when it's the right time. Speaking of dreams, Globe Studios and Disney launched Disney Princess: I Dare To Dream Web Series last February 15, 2016 at The Sugar Factory BGC, Taguig.

     Globe Telecom, in partnership with The Walt Disney Company Southeast Asia, is redefining the landscape of local entertainment by launching the Disney Princess: I Dare To Dream, a first-of-its-kind digital reality-series produced by Globe Studios in collaboration with Disney and Maker Studios. Highlights of the launched plus know more of the girls below :)
