Rembrandt Flores is an American public relations executive based in Los Angeles, California. He is currently director of events and managing partner of Entertainment Fusion Group PR (EFGPR), a public relations, special events and marketing company in Los Angeles, California. ==Early life and career== Flores was born in Metro Manila, Philippines. Flores and his family immigrated to the United States when he was one year old. He was raised in Almaden Valley, San Jose, California,〔 where he attended Leland Stanford High School. He enrolled at the University of California, Berkeley where he initially majored in economics but switched majors to communications during his junior year, graduating with a bachelor's degree.〔 Growing up, his parents wanted him to become a doctor,〔 but he reported that he always knew that his calling was in the entertainment industry, so instead of getting a job in New York, he went to Los Angeles instead.〔 He started his career by becoming a part of the agent-in-training program of the Abrams Artist Agency.〔 A few months later, he moved on to E! Entertainment as the executive assistant to the executive producer of E! True Hollywood Story.〔 In 2000, he became a part of the production team of the show ''FYE'', a entertainment news series from the same network,〔 as well as ''ECU'' and ''Wild On''. Although he grew up in the United States, Flores strongly identifies himself as Filipino. In an interview he said, "I feel that being Filipino sets me apart because, honestly, there aren’t a lot of Filipinos that I see in that world around me. I always feel like I have to represent our culture in a way and so whenever I can, when appropriate, I try to bring it up, in whatever shape or form that Filipinos are doing great things in this industry."〔 Despite the proliferation of Filipinos in the American entertainment industry, he admitted that there are not much getting into the public relations and related that "you have to have 'super thick skin,' a lot of tenacity and patience... and (lot of ) relationships in order to succeed."〔 He is also part of the Filipino Hollywood Mafia (FHM), a group composed primarily of Filipino actors, writers, producers, directors, publicists, lawyers, editors, journalists and hosts. The group aims to serve as an avenue for the "coming together as Filipinos, working together, socializing and sharing that common bond of being Filipino."〔 In August 2012, Flores announced that he will write for the Fashion Police section of Us Weekly.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rembrandt Flores」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
