Beautéderm and Sparkle GMA Artist Center have been in partnership for five years now. During the media conference held on March 7 at Luxent Hotel, CEO and founder Rhea Anicoche-Tan expressed her gratitude to Sparkle for its contribution to her company.

Present in the presscon were Beautéderm endorsers Cassy Legaspi, Bianca Umali, Ruru Madrid, Rayver Cruz, and Sanya Lopez, who all renewed their contracts.

"I value my partnership with Sparkle GMA Artist Center. Part of the reason why Beautéderm continues to sparkle is because of these artists – Ruru, Rayver, Cassy, Bianca, Sanya – who put us on the map. They represent the brand well through their efforts, talents, and beauty inside and out," shared Rhea.

The conference also introduced the five new endorsers of Beautéderm, who also came from Sparkle GMA Artist Center. They are Patricia Tumulak, Buboy Villar, Thia Thomalla, Ysabel Ortega, and EA Guzman.

We are dedicated to reaching more people all over the world, making sure they have quality products to rely on – from beauty to wellness products. And by expanding more, we are able to help more people – from elderly people to our scholars," Tan added.

As the business of Tan grows, with its headquarters in Angeles City, Pampanga, more people will be helped. For the Beautéderm CEO, she will continue to provide free scholarships for students and quality assistance for the elderly.

Angelica Panganiban is the new face of Silka Green Papaya! She was officially introduced to the members of the media and special guests during the celebration held in Las Casa Filipinas de Azucar Quezon city together with the launch of Silka's White Weeksary campaign. The campaign gives users a moment to celebrate white weeksary using Silka.

With the Philippines being both the social media and selfie capital of the world; coupled with the country’s economy becoming more heavily reliant on customer-facing, service-led businesses – Filipinas today have come to recognize the personal and professional advantages of looking their best, and feeling their best all the time. In light of this reality, a great number of Filipinas have made a personal decision to use skin whitening products to help them achieve their beauty goals.


But achieving these skin care goals often comes at a high price. While some women have come to accept the inconveniences attached with the goal of achieving fair skin (for e.g. high costs, skin dryness, and harshness), Silka, the brand at the forefront of producing affordable and effective beauty products, believes that this should not be the case.

The new and improved Silka Green Papaya with VitaRich Actives have been further enhanced with green papaya enzymes that treat dead skin cells; and vitamin E with antioxidant properties that help condition the skin. These formulation changes help Filipinas experience puting walang hapdi, in as early as just 7 days -- proving that accomplishing fair skin can be fast and convenient without the dryness and stinging associated with other whitening product brands.


During the event, Angelica Panganiban shares some of her insights about her reason accepting the endorsement and her thoughts about being beautiful.

These are her reasons why she accepts the endorsement. She can

1. Empower women through sharing tips about being beautiful. 
2. To inspire women to be beautiful. 
3. To give an understanding of the importance of women. 

She also shared that being the present Angelica
1. Tiis ganda no more. 
2. Self care
3. About the wellness. 

Just as Angelica's reason it's all about empowering women and beautifful.

During the program, it was revealed that Angelica is a firm believer of Silka’s mission to help women achieve their skin goals and recognizes that Silka is a trusted brand because of their quality products that help women feel and be their best.

“Angelica Panganiban has gone through a lot of ups and downs throughout her life and career. Because of her experiences, she knows when to take time for herself and avoid issues that can affect her” said Jane Co, Silka’s Marketing Head. “As a Silka lady, Angelica embodies tunay na alaga, and chooses those that will not hurt her. Beautiful and smart, she is an inspiring example for Filipinas” Co added.
