KAI MONTINOLA is the face of HEBESKIN CurvWhyt Coffee

New beauty brand HEBESKIN just launched a new product at Incanta Cave Bar in Quezon City this afternoon. It's a coffee drink made with Mangosteen Extract, Green Coffee Extract, Arabica Coffee, Non Dairy Creamer, Stevia for sweetener, and contains Vitamin C, Probiotics, Alpha Lipoic Acid, L Carnetine, Zinc, Aloe Vera, Ashwagandha and more. Best of all, Total Sugar per serving is 0 grams, something that people like me would love. 

 

Founder and CEO Ms. Penelope Cadlina says "I will do my best to turn my product into results, to something you'll be truly proud. To my family and friends, your support has been my backbone. To my family, you are the heart of everything I do, I promise to push boundaries, and thank you for making this event possible. We are just beginning."

Their COO Jazmine Gonzales added "To be surrounded by people who support us, thank you for believing and you are part of our growth, of who we are today. Your faith in me has meant everything, to my good friend Penelope, your dedication has made this brand truly meaningful. It is about empowering others, to make people be confident about our skin. Thank you so much!"

 

 

 

This is the first time I'm seeing Kai Montinola. I've only known her from PBB and the work she does in Star Magic. She went down the spiral staircase of the venue singing a song that was very apt for her. She's very beautiful, quite eloquent, and have had a happy disposition that afternoon. To say she looked like a goddess is an understatement. This is one of the many reasons why she was chosen as the face of HEBESKIN CurvWhyt Coffee.

Kai says "I feel thankful, thank you for choosing me to represent a product, for HEBESKIN to empower men and women, I feel so great to be the face of the new product. My goddess era is empowering, powerful and confident. "

"For me endorsing a product is a big responsibility, for something that stands for health, I have to implement it in real life and it encourages me to be better."

"Believe it or not, I always ask myself if I am deserving of what I receive, of success and all. You should cherish that, of what people around you say. Know yourself before you say the same with others."

Here's her interview in full:

Kai also sings, we witnessed it that afternoon.

If you want to try the coffee she endorses, you may get them HERE. Kai is still in her teens, and she's already an endorser of a very promising brand. She's bound for more. With her beautiful skin, brains and undeniable charm, it's going to be a great year for her. Congratulations HEBESKIN and Kai!

MOIRA Named as Maria Clara Virgin Sangria Brand Ambassador

It looks like a fruitful year for the queen of emotional songs Moira Dela Torre as she becomes the face and brand ambassador for Maria Clara VIRGIN Sangria. This is a new non-alcoholic variant of the well loved Sangria brand from Desteliria Limtuaco & Co. Inc.

At the event, Moira says "I've tried it both and I liked the original one, but when I don't want to drink I love the non alcoholic variant. I love that the campaign because they want you to have it in moderation. It fits my lifestyle as it is mostly when I rest, when I want to celebrate. If could be completely honest, I had to think about it a lot because it's an alcoholic brand, I drink it and in Olongapo we often have this in parties with family. I wanted to make sure it's a brand I wanted to represent. The brand has been a friend, like my music, I don't think I deserve the accolades, I see a lot of people who also work harder than me. I loved it so much already, which is why I said yes."

She adds "This is my band, they can vouch for me because I don't drink much but I do get woozy really early, I remember I only had 3 glasses in the shoot. It was not hard to write the song because in previous years I was already doing jingles, I knew how they wanted to sound like, this was quite different from the things I do. This would be good to listen to while having a glass, I wanted to make the music accompany what they are doing. I don't really drink before I perform, I just really sound like this normally."

Ms. Limpe-ao says "We try to treat it as a healthier alternative, and it's got 7 grams per serving with zero calories. She is a very talented singer and songwriter, she can communicate through music and understand what we are doing, to send the message that you have a friend with Maria Clara, she fits to be the spokesperson for this campaign, aside from being beautiful and talented. She is who we choose as our new endorser."

Ms. Olivia Limpe-ao was also joined by executives from Destileria Limtuaco & Co. Inc. were there to also witness the event and told us how this endorsement came about. The original song was perfect to assure their patrons that "Everything will be alright!'

If you've loved the original Maria Clara Sangria and just refrained from drinking alcohol, this certainly is a treat because of the really sweet and fruity taste this has without the guilt. It's having "choices" that make this a very attractive alternative while you're out with friends, family or plainly in a party. It also has less sugars for those who are watching their intake and yes, 0 percent alcohol.

For those who would want a taste of it, Maria Clara Virgin only costs PHP 192.00 and is now available in leading supermarkets and stores nationwide.

ALDEN RICHARDS Endorses Brilliant Skin Essentials

It was a day of laughter, tears and beautiful skin as Brilliant Skin Essentials held an event as they welcome the one and only Asia's Multimedia Star Alden Richards as their brand endorser. 

The Brilliant Skin CEO Ms. Glenda first had a session with new franchisees from Visayas and Mindanao, and we saw a couple of them crying on stage, witnessed how they all have achieved their dreams being part of the brand. 

Alden Richards appeared during the recent Pinaka Makinang Concert (last February) where a lot of their Brilliant Skin patrons saw their duet on stage with Ms. Glenda surprising a lot of people. He says "I am honored to be part of the Brilliant Skin family. I've always felt being part of it after working with them a couple of times." 

It's just right to have Alden Richards be part of their brand now as he is really known for having THE body, and brilliant looking skin. He joins a roster of Brilliant Skin ambassadors such as Seth Fedelin, Jillian Ward, Zeinab Harake and Andrea Brilliantes. Alden will also be endorsing their newest product, the Sunscreen Gel-Cream SPF 30 that protects from UVA and UVB rays and keeps skin moisturized. 

 

 

 

Alden says "Thank you for being here today! Thank you Ms. Glenda for making me part of the Brilliant Skin family, I'm so excited to work with you and the people behind it." Together with Alden was Ms. Joy and Ms. Tracy of Sparkle, and a signing ceremony commenced.  

Ms. Glenda has divulged a few months back to be a huge Alden Richards fan, of how he is as an actor and a person. She says "I love how he looks always fresh and I admire his journey. He's the perfect fit to encourage people to be #SunSkinReady."

There are talks of more products in the pipeline which Alden will also be endorsing, if you want to see the collaterals of Alden and his Brilliant Skin campaign, make sure to follow Brilliant Skin's Twitter, FB and IG accounts as it will all be posted there!

New Endorser WILLIE REVILLAME Starts 3.3 and 4.4 SHOPEE Mega Shopping Sale

This morning was one for the books as popular online shopping app SHOPEE finally unveiled their latest Shopee ambassador. It was actually very obvious as it wouldn't really make sense if he wasn't one because his hit prime time variety show has always delivered help to the masses, who else but Willie Revillame aka KUYA WIL. Wowowin on GMA has been a platform for Filipinos to not only find entertainment, but relief from the stresses of everyday life. What's more is that Willie Revillame has been doing this for years now and it has benefited countless Filipinos of mostly poor and underprivileged parts of society, and he hasn't stopped til now. When he did stints for Shopee, the unbelievable response to the app's promos and giveaways showcased why he's been the trusted by everyone, and the live sessions are proof for it. 

 Shopee Philippines Director Martin Yu introduced him and says "Thank you for your unwavering support for Shopee. Last year it was a transformative year for eCommerce. From a commercial, we go to a more social experience and it will have a key role in doing business. We will keep driving growth and this 2021, payments, logistics and digitization will be part of that. Today, you can do so much more with Shopee pay. We have growth in food, health and home sectors. More brands are coming in, about 3x increase than usual. Businesses had to adapt so they can grow their presence online. Shopee live made sellers able to showcase their products wherever they are in the country. Our 3.3 and 4.4 MEGA shopping Sale of the year include cashless festival, flash deals sale, payday sale, and mega free shipping sale. The 3.3 and 4.4 sale is also supported by our partner brands, and we will have 3.3 Shopee Milyonaryo TV Special on GMA 7 and Shopee live! But that’s not all, today we are officially welcoming Willie Revillame!”

To get the press a little entertained during the event, he got one live audience (from us entertainment media) and one from those who are covering online. He got us to play his hit game choosing between a mystery box and a couple thousand bucks. Well, I think he and Shopee went a little generous and gave the winner a huge surprise. I wished I got picked, but it didn't happen LOL. Congratulations to the winners though!

 

Oh by the way, Willie is spearheading the sale that's going to happen this 3.3 and 4.4 as their Mega Shopping sale will have Shopee Pay 1 peso deals, Free Shipping and 20% cashback on several products on the app. Well in fact, they've got a whole calendar full of events so you can save from discounts that tons of stores from the app get enabled only on these dates, plus the payday sales, and the things that stores offer on the platform. So you see, there's really a lot of things you can save from the app. I actually get coins and discounts myself which I use for me next purchase on the Shopee app.

Now I don't want to tell you things you wouldn't want to know, but it was also a different experience seeing the Wowowin dancers live during the event.

Aside from that, they also got Bugoy Drilon, Michael Pangilinan, and one of my favorite performers Kris Lawrence to do some RnB numbers, man I was seeing sparkles and doves during this portion. These guys are good, it was crazy good!

To a more serious and not serious note, we sat down with Kuya Wil after the event amd got to ask him a few questions about this endorsement. He answered why he's not stopping helping people and why he's not asking for anything more. He also worries about the people who work for him during this pandemic, it was nice to see how he answered it unrehearsed, the man has a good heart.

 

 Kuya Wil will be appearing in several print, digital and TV commercials so you're bound to see him a couple of times from February to April. He also sees this partnership last a long time, so stay tuned for more of Shopee in Wowowin too!

If you haven't yet, go download the Shopee app on Google Play and the App Store. What Kuya Wil said about trusting the app is substantial, if he trusts the people behind it, you should too. Follow their social media accounts too for some of their promos are going to be listed there.  By the way, I'm going to come out with a vlog with my experience during the press conference this morning, so please subscribe too on YouTube.com/kumagcow okay?

Piolo Pascual Endorses LIVINGWATER on their 13th Year

It's been 13 years since they've set up shop and now they've got hundreds of franchisees in the Philippines. I'm sure you've seen one of their branches near you. They are definitely brighter, better and stronger this year helping Filipinos acheive their dreams one water refilling station at a time. This business model has already been lauded because of their low franchise fees and very high demand because the owners knew how much they need to help other people while they are growing their own business. The event was hosted by Tart Carlos and their executives, and they didn't want to end this day without celebrating their 13th year and introducing their newest endorser Piolo Pascual. 

Piolo will be the face of the company from hereon, and also have Sarah Geronimo stay as the one who sang their company jingle. They hope they've got the best people to represent their products, they said they won't settle for anything else. Piolo says "I am touched, I am inspired by their story and I'm glad to be part of a premium product that would be available nationwide. I have set up 4 of these refilling stations in the past but now it's only two, I hope I could grow more of it by joining them, I like their business model. Thank you LIVINGWATER for having me as your endorser!"

Beth and Edward Prades were all smiles and said "It doesn't matter how long this journey is, but what matters is who you are with in this journey. Thank you for being beside us all these years. People thought this indistry is saturated and not lucrative, but now you know it still it is profitable. We concentrated on Product, Placement, Promotion, now we have living water refilling stations that serve better water using our technologies not seen anywhere else. Our phenomenal growth is because of our highest standards, the service, the price is affordable and competitive. To serve each Filipino the healthier, cleaner and safer drinking water is our mission. The country needs more, our population is growing still and demand is there. Livingwater is looking forward to double this number all over the Philippines and also expand it's presence overseas. We hope you all continue to be part of our journey!"

Congratulations LIVINGWATER! You're in good company with Piolo Pascual.

James Reid Endorses Fujifilm

Takuya Maeda of Fujifilm quips "Since we started our business here, together with our X Photographers we have been successful in penetrating our market because we're not just after sales, we're about making great cameras. Thanks to our influencers, our customer service centers, we have been successful in satisfying the Filipino customers even though the market is in a slump. We are increasing sales and we provide ways and reasons how to make customers enjoy our cameras. We can't think of any other endorser who would appeal to our market more than James Reid, he is sophisticated, good looking and he's got what we say that knack for photography."

It feels great to endorse a product that I use everyday! I only discovered it end of last year, pretty recent, I used different cameras before but it's the style I sticked to. I used the XT2, my favorite. It shoots in 4K video and I use it on the teleserye, very helpful. I have a lot of good memories in this canera, and BTS? They're coming. I guess I just pick the best ones and post it on Instagram, I'm a fan of apps but it's so much better to have it physically on hand that you can give the people. I love architecture, the places I go to give that, I take landscapes, my girlfriend (the crowd kinikig). I'll have an announcement post soon. You'll see it on my Instagram account too. 

I take photos of her when she sleeps, we travel a lot so she's my favorite subject. I have yet to experience taking photos of other people, I haven't though about it yet what to put in an exhibit. I don't know what line I'm interested. I think I'm a good photographer, they say I have a knack or eye for photography.

The project I'm in (showing on August 29) tackles LGBT relationships, I'm glad that ABSCBN trusted me with daring projects like that. I love Santorini and Mykonos, it's impossible to take a bad photo there. The most beautiful photo I've taken of Nadine is the one in Lake Tahoe. I like the XT2 and the videos and photos are used as part of the show. The design is me. Nadine got me into photography, she takes a lot of photos of me and I do too with her since she is my favorite subject. 90% of the scenes in my new show has this in my shoulder. I'm used to it, it's part of the job, it's been a long time and we're used to it. 

Congratulations James on being the newest face of Fujifilm!
