A Thriving Community: SKIN2CONFIDENCE Where Skincare Meets Makeup

Creating connections amongst like minded individuals feels so good. You get to form friendships, a sense of community, and the thought of learning from each other brings inalienable happiness. An event called SKIN2CONFIDENCE: Where Skincare Meets Makeup (their 2nd batch) happened last February 7th. This was organized by Pretty Skin and Lamelin, it was attended by some of the country's leading dermatologists, pharmacists, KOL's and partners to discuss the exciting world of Korean skin science and what Filipinos need.

Initially, they meant to just talk about it, but formed strong bonds as days go by. They had Pretty Skin & Lamelin Korea Founder and CEO Jung Bung Sub to talk lengthy about the science of skin, the discipline to take care of it, and the trends this year. Mr. Jun Gamo also shared his thoughts on Filipinos battling it out with the elements once they step outside the sweltering heat of Manila. 

Leading the way are Mayton Eugenio and Celebrity Make up-Artist Florence Vergara

The Importance of Education Before Confidence

The brand sent Korean representatives Joo Hoang and Junlee Hyeob to also talk about their formulations. From the Lamelin 2% NMN and PDRN line to the Pretty Skin B5 and B3 line, the explained the process on now hydration and other factors work. They also got the help of Dr. Mara Capirosso to talk about skin concerns to debunk myths and how to take care of it. They also had Dr. Finesse Evangelista share her experience with clinical work and its results. Hands on workshop with the gorgeous Grace Lee had them do demonstrations using the Lamelin Camella Line to address dry skin, and how they could layer to get the best results. Florence Vergara also taught more about the new Pretty Skin Makeup line. People really felt education comes first before getting the confidence that comes with it. Brand Global Ambassador Katrina Santos from Pretty Skin & Lamelin made sure they didn't go empty handed and prepared products and GC's so they too can achieve the SKIN2CONFIDENCE experience. 

Ms. Cathy Gamo reiterated the importance of not just introducing their products but elevate standards, learn from each other, show trust and do it together. They had the first one done last January 14th, and the second installment grew its crowd with even more healthcare pros, more partners and consumers too. They're equally excited about Batch 3 which they plan to do on March 20th of putting their community first before profits, guided by the wonders of science and the folks who have supported them. 

Everyone is invited on this date to make skincare education accessible. Make sure you follow the Pretty Skin & Lamelin social channels as they're going to post details about it there. See you at the 3rd SKIN2CONFIDENCE sessions! 

Questions Hound PH Executive Secretary Post: Strategist Reacts

I've always heard the saying "Experience is the best teacher" when it comes to hiring people for a specific position. This is true in a corporate setting, also in government positions that hold a lot of responsibilities. After all, it's the people that you serve, and salaries come from the taxes they pay. 

While browsing YouTube this afternoon, I caught a portion of UNTV Director for News and Current Affairs Michael Fajatin and Ina Andolong's show at POLITIKOTV called Politiskoop where they were interviewing Ma. Lourdes Tiquia, a political strategist and founder of PUBLiCUS Asia Inc.

She was reiterating the importance of the Executive Secretary position and tells how the mandate is huge as it includes decision  making on a national level. She says "It is a powerful position and it isn't a post for pushing papers. It's not a glorified clerk. It really is a little President." She adds "I don't think the current Executive Secretary (pertaining to Vic Rodriguez) has the experience for the work to be done considering the style of the President. You need someone who had years of experience both in the national and local as well as the "can do" policy. Yes, there is a whole bureaucracy under the office of the Executive Secretary, but at the end of the day, the decision maker is the Executive Secretary."  

She certainly made valid points on the her interview that afternoon as executive posts like these are offered to experienced statesmen and political figures in the past; whom mostly have years of practice in the industry. Imagine, names include Ernesto Maceda, Joker Arroyo, Oscar Orbos, Franklin Drilon, Teofisto Guingona, Alberto Romulo have all held this position in the previous years. This is, among other names on the same list that also have related work prior to becoming part of the office. 

That's quite interesting. Questions are being asked and certainly, deserve answers.

Jollibee Asks: What's Your Story?

I'm just like you, just like anybody who grew up in the Philippines who spent a couple hours of their lifetime to be in a well loved hamburger chain that started in this country. I always had several treats, birthday parties and sorties held in the Diamond Cubao branch when I was a kid, let alone just about any of their other branches in the metro where I had to cover events, attend my godsons and goddaughters birthday parties, or be with family because I love Chickenjoy and my Dad loves Palabok above anything else on their menu.

You see, just about anybody has their own #KwentongJollibee, and this year Jollibee is thinking of you. They wanted their commercials hit it right home, to be close to where your heart is, and touch you, your lives when you least expect it. Take a moment to sit down and prepare your tissue/napkins because this might change you. This is in celebration of their 38th year in existence.

Make sure you watch all the videos:

Here are highlights from the Premier Night
