Unlike previous runs, Sparks Camp Season 4 banners an ultra-diverse and bold group of campers from different walks of life—from actors and drag queens to international campers hailing from Japan to the USA.
Headlining the roster is 18th Cinemalaya Philippine Independent Film Festival Best Actor Tommy Alejandrino, who won the award for his portrayal of Amir in the film The Baseball Player.

Joining him is Ian Lubrica, a 24-year-old drag queen from Baguio City. Known in the drag scene as Empy Rodora, Ian is expected to bring infectious energy to the show as she hopes to deliver “chika, landi, and konting kalat” to the camp.
Hailing all the way from the United States is Howie Johnson, a former US Marine of half-Filipino, half-American descent. He returned to the Philippines to trace his roots, but by joining the camp, he hopes to find a spark he can share a life with.

Meanwhile, another international camper is heading to the Philippines. Coming in from Chiba, Japan, is Filipino-Japanese camper Taku Mori. After exhausting his luck on online dating apps, he is now trying a different approach, hoping to finally find his spark on the show.
Moving from land to the skies, 31-year-old flight attendant Joaquin Espiritu is looking to break down the emotional walls built from past relationships and open his heart again through Sparks Camp.

Adding flavor to the show is Beej Mordeno, a proud father-of-two. The tech professional will bring his wisdom to the group, offering a more mature perspective at camp.
Also bringing maturity to the mix is Gio Lopez, owner of a popular glasshouse-style café in Greenfield District. After a 10-year relationship, he joins Sparks Camp to treat himself to a brand-new adventure outside his comfort zone.
Rounding out the list are 22-year-old nursing student Michael Padiernos; 26-year-old queer creative, model, and internet personality EJ Magistrado; and 26-year-old Jury Fajardo, a corporate quality officer and pageant kontesero who wants to step out of his comfort zone and finally make room for romance after spending most of his time studying and working to support himself.
While Black Sheep Productions has yet to announce the exact premiere date, Sparks Camp Season 4 is set to premiere soon, streaming exclusively on iWantTFC.
