Liza joins the no. 1 Digital Banking app, Maya

As she continues to chart her own path, multihyphenate star Liza Soberano has made another big move in pursuing her true passions. A decision that is bold but nonetheless made by herself, for herself. Liza joins the no. 1 Digital Banking app, Maya. 

 

After shooting to fame as one of the generation's brightest stars, Liza recently decided to take control of her career and take on new challenges - such as shooting her first Hollywood film alongside young Hollywood stars Kathryn Newton and Cole Sprouse. The same bold mindset led to her new role as Brand Ambassador and Chief Advocacy Officer at Maya.  

 

As Brand Ambassador, Liza co-created Maya's new marketing campaign, breaking the mold of traditional celebrity endorsements and changing the game for marketing financial services.  

As Chief Advocacy Officer, Liza will champion shared advocacies for financial inclusion with Maya and lead key initiatives. This starts with joint initiatives for Save The Children, the world's leading independent organization for children, which Liza has been the ambassador of since 2021. At the same time, she will help drive the advocacy agenda within Maya from their product roadmap to company culture.    

With Maya, Liza finds herself in charge of an imaginative and meaningful partnership that ultimately drives financial empowerment, especially with the youth. Liza's collaboration with Maya also opens a new door for her as she finally gets the chance to be on the other end of the lights and cameras, co-creating the brand's latest campaign. 

 

"The past year has given me an opportunity to reflect on what I want for my life and my career. And when it comes to brands, I've decided to be more intentional about my partnerships. I want to work with brands that resonate with me personally, with products I actually use, and with companies I believe in,” Liza shares.  

“I'm excited for everyone to level up their banking experience with me through Maya because I love using their app. On top of that, working with Maya truly feels like a level up for me - it's a joy to collaborate with them creatively, and I'm excited for the professional challenge of becoming their Chief Advocacy Officer," she adds.  

“There's no greater partner for Maya than Liza,” says Maya Chief Marketing Officer Pepe Torres. He continues, "Liza resonates with Maya's values of defiance and optimism. She has defied conventions for Filipino actresses and taken her career into a bold new direction, reshaping what it means to be successful for this generation. And she lives with optimism, knowing she can use her personal platform to advocate for meaningful change. We are thrilled to embark on this meaningful collaboration and journey of empowering Filipinos to do banking their way alongside Liza, who is as much a game-changer as Maya." 

  

Positioned as everything and a bank, Maya is the no. 1 digital banking app that brings Filipinos bolder ways to master their money. Among the many superior innovations of Maya is its best-in-class consumer savings account that offers easy account opening with just one valid ID, a high-interest rate with daily payout, and customizable personal goals. As an added boost, Maya customers can save with up to 10% daily interest rate per annum, starting March 7, 2023.*

Liza Soberano shares how she elevate her style with the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3 5G

 

 

Liza Soberano is more than just a pretty face. She's also an award-winning actress, and an advocate for children’s rights. On top of all that, she’s also a fashion icon. Soberano has always turned heads with her looks, like the blue gown she co-designed and won Best Dressed for at the Star Magic Ball in 2016 and the terno covered in a thousand individually-placed Swarovski crystals she wore for the ABS-CBN Ball in 2019. It’s no wonder that Vogue called her a “style star to watch.”

 

What makes Soberano a joy to watch on the red carpet and on social media is that she’s adventurous when it comes to fashion. She will wear denim and leather one day, then shift to a feminine floral dress the next. The actress rocks every look, balancing youth and freshness with elegance.

 

When asked to describe her style, Soberano says, “I like how being in showbiz lets me experiment with different types of looks. Each role or pictorial has its own style and I enjoy getting lost in the role or theme of the shoot. But if I were to name my personal style, it would be feminine with a modern touch.”

 

It’s easy to think that the secret to her winning style is access to a stylist and designers but there’s more to it than that.

“My looks are usually a mix of influences but what ties them all together is my personality. That’s what carries the outfit. I believe that if you love what you’re wearing and you feel confident in it, you will look stylish,” Soberano shares.

 

Another one of her style secrets is having a wide collection of accessories. The right pair of glasses, bag, or jewelry can help make an outfit. Lately, Soberano has added a new accessory to her OOTDs: a smartphone. That’s right, a device that people use for its function more than its form is now an accent piece.

 

She uses the Galaxy Z Flip3 5G, a foldable smartphone known for its unique form factor, style, and eye-catching colors. It’s small enough to fit into a purse or a pocket when folded but opens into a full-screen 5G-capable smartphone when in use.

 

There is a range of colors available for every type of occasion. Cream is perfect for eveningwear and classic dresses. Phantom Black is more daring and goes well with bold ensembles. Lavender and Green are more playful and suits fashionistas who like to experiment with color.

“These days, smartphones are an extension of one’s style and says so much about the owner. For me, the type of person who owns a Galaxy Z Flip3 5G is someone who’s sophisticated and confident in who she is but is not afraid to try something new. The smartphone’s shape and colors are definitely for the risk-taker,” the actress shares.

 

What makes the Galaxy Z Flip3 5G an attractive choice for fashionistas is its hands-free Flex Mode. They can prop up the smartphone like a laptop, find the right angle, and take hands-free selfies for their OOTDs. They don’t need a tripod or someone else to take their photo to share their latest outfit on social media.

 

“I love connecting with my followers on social media. Sharing my life with them through photos, stories, and videos is my way of thanking them for their support. I love how the Galaxy Z Flip3 5G lets me do that while looking like a stylish accessory,” Soberano ends.

 

The device is now available in the Philippines for Php 52,990 SRP for the 128GB variant and Php 56,990 SRP for the 256GB variant, in Cream, Green, Lavender, and Phantom Black colorways.

 

Ready to make the switch? Buy the Galaxy Z Flip3 5G for as low as Php 2,207.92/month at 0% for up to 24 months, or pay the first installment next year with BDO credit cards. Drop by the nearest Samsung Experience Stores or Authorized Stores, or go to samsung.com/ph.

Liza Soberano opens up about the things that excite her, and shares her sweet inspirations

From her humble beginnings in local showbiz, to becoming one of the most sought-after celebrities of her generation, it’s easy to say that Liza Soberano has got it all.

To many young individuals, the phenomenal star is an inspiration, with her perfect blend of beauty, wit, talent, and kindness. 

But what inspires and motivates someone as wonderful as her? In an interview, the new Great Taste White coffee endorser opens up about the things that excite her, and shares her sweet inspirations.

On love and surprises
“I like to be surprised!”, shares Liza with a delightful laugh. “But it’s always hard to surprise me. I don’t know, maybe because I always catch people, or I’m just always expecting. Tapos nasasaktan ako ‘pag wala.” 

And while Liza may often be seen dolled up, her down-to-earth spirit continues to shine through her. “I’m not after how grand the surprise is, to me, I bank more on the experience.”

On things she believes in
People have seen Liza take on multiple roles on TV and the big screen. Now, here’s a side of her that many have not yet seen—a budding advocate for street children. “These are things I feel strongly about. Whenever I see kids on the streets, it gives me this sense of feeling that I would like to take part in giving these children the hope and inspiration that they deserve,” said Liza. 

At present, Liza takes her time in finding her perfect voice, but this, she shares, is one of the directions she’s determined to take on.

On her sweet inspirations
As one of the A-list Filipino celebrities, Liza admits that it can get challenging at times to sort out the hurdles that come her way, but in light of staying inspired, creative, and true to who she is, Liza says, “It’s a matter of sticking to the people who were with me ever since the beginning. I think it’s very important that I don’t lose my circle of friends and the people who helped me get to where I am now.”

She also shared that it is because she truly has a lot of goals, not just for herself, but also for the people around her. “When I dream, I don’t just dream for myself. As long as you have that love and these dreams that you want to reach for the people you love dearly, you stay inspired.”

When asked what’s one thing that helps her get through her day, she ecstatically said, “Coffee!” To Liza, drinking a cup of coffee daily powers her through when she’s taping, as the long hours of work requires for her to have an energy booster.

“I like my coffee sweet and creamy, that’s why I drink Great Taste White. I prefer to have it in the morning because it’s a perfect way to jumpstart my day, but I also do when I’m simply craving. I see it as one of my sweet inspirations,” she added.

As the newest endorser of Great Taste White, Liza feels blessed and honored to be a part of the family. “What I love most about the product is that I align with it. It’s sweet, like me, (laughs) but kidding aside, it is a great motivation and energy booster especially for the work that I have, that’s why I’m really happy to be on board.”

Great Taste is a long-standing local coffee brand with a rich history of firsts – first white coffee mix, and the first twin pack format--among others. Whether it’s for starting the day right or for quick pick-me-ups in the middle of the day, Great Taste White is bound to satisfy the busy and hardworking Filipino.

Celebrity Ambassador Liza Soberano renews contract with Domino's Pizza PH

Celebrity endorser Liza Soberano recently renews her contract with Dominos Pizza Ph on Jan 26 at Dominos Pizza Mindanao Branch.

Domino's Pizza Philippines president Pinky Yee and Liza Soberano's manager Ogie Diaz graced the event as media witnessed the contract signing.

Ms Liza Soberano was proud to say that she is literally the new face of Dominos Pizza box. She followed suit after Korean actors Song Joong Ki and Park Bo Gum last year as Domino's Pizza celebrity endorsers. With their face printed on the pizza box.

She told, her mother Mommy Divina loved Dominos Pizza when they were back in the US. Its the only pizza that their family patronizes. Upon learning that her face would be on the pizza box, her mother was excited at the thought and would love to cut it out and framed.

The "World's Delivery Expert", hand-in-hand with the “World’s Most Beautiful Face." What more could you ask for?

Liza Soberano -currently the undisputed sweetheart of Philippine showbiz, and the top name in the British Independent Movie Critics list for “world's most beautiful face“ renewed her partnership with Domino’s Pizza Philippines during a recent media activity held in Quezon City.

As the celebrity endorser of the country's pizza delivery expert, Liza was involved in a number of hugely successful campaigns, including a giveaway activity wherein she personally handed free pizzas to LRT commuters. Videos of this initiative went viral on social media, thus familiarizing countless netizens with the #DominosEffect.

Eventually, the actress -somewhat literally became the face of the Domino’s brand, as her photo is now featured prominently on Domino’s Pizza boxes.

“l am so happy and honored to be a part of the Domino's Pizza family. The relationship between us was strengthened over time, and l feel that my personality is a perfect fit for what Domino’s stands for,” Liza emphasized. “it’s always nice to represent a brand that you’ve been patronizing even before you endorsed them, and this is the case with Domino’s," she added.

Liza recalled her time in the United States, when she became a certified fan of the Domino’s Pizza online ordering sytem. “The convenience and reliability of ordering Domino’s online is really amazing. First, it’s super efficient, because they use the latest mapping technology to recognize your exact location. Second, I love the fact that I can track every step of my order, so l know exactly when to expect my fresh, hot, and fast delivery," she enthused.

Fortunately, as Liza pointed out, these exact innovations have been put in place in the Philippines, thus creating a noticeable improvement in the delivery experience. “it’s no wonder that Filipinos are recognizing Domino’s as the delivery expert.

“The best part is that Domino’s provides great value offerings. Twice a week namely Two for Tuesdays and Freeze Thursdays you can get two pizzas for the price of one," Liza further noted. 

As far Domino’s is concerned, the partnership between brand and endorser is a perfect 0L “Liza has been with us since 2015, and we have all witnessed her meteoric rise in the past three years," noted Domino's Pizza Philippines president Pinky Yee.

“Ultimate Crush” Liza Soberano shares her own wellness ritual

We all know that too much stress can have a damaging effect on our overall health and well-being. But because of work and our neverending chores and obligations, we often forget to allot some time for ourselves to relax and take a quick  break. Maybe an occasional appointment for a massage, watch a movie, read a new book, wear your favorite lipstick and or even just spend time shopping.  That way you can limit stress, enjoy a relaxed body and a sound mind.

As I got older I learned to set aside some time to pamper myself. Even if its a quick escape to the spa for a massage, or even if its just a trip to the salon for a manicure, pedicure, brow threading, (or if i have more time waxing and a foot spa)  is on my list every month.

The smell alone of those aromatherapy oils helps me quickly  relax and get rid of the stress and the negativity around. My favorite is the lavender oil because its soothing scent can calm me instantly.

Now if you are planning to give yourself a well deserved pampering service, there is one newly opened Wellness Center in QC you have to check out, as it  is owned by no less than the Philippine showbiz industry’s “ultimate crush” Liza Soberano.

Liza Soberano recently launched her first business venture  HOPE Hand and Foot Wellness last December 10 with selected bloggers and print media at her first branch in Tomas Morato. Her loveteam Enrique "Quen" Gil showed some support at HOPE's launch.

Liza explained that the decision to have a wellness center as her first business should not come as a surprise to many because she has always been a great believer in wellness that goes beyond beauty.

 Liza, whose real name is Hope Elizabeth Soberano, said that she believes wellness goes beyond beauty. “Wellness impacts more than meets the eye. It is all about making us feel better holistically, from head to toe, body to soul,” Liza said.

Liza shared her own wellness ritual by using a lot of essential and organic oils to pamper her hands and feet and also to boost her body and spirit. “I am a great believer that wellness is essential in making us the best version that we can be. HOPE Hand and Foot Wellness is the first manifestation of the HOPE Wellness brand. We want this to be the go-to place for everyone and anyone who wants to feel better. HOPE is open to people of all ages, genders and walks of life,” Liza adds.

Speaking like a true businesswoman, Liza quoted economist Paul Zane Pilner who said that the health and wellness industry is predicted to become the next trillion-dollar industry worldwide, underscored by the trend that spas and wellness centers have become a lifestyle for many people around the world.

“By putting up HOPE Hand and Foot Wellness, we do not only encourage people to have their own proper wellness ritual but we are also aggressively taking part in what is described as the business of the future,” Liza said.

Liza mentioned that as much as her time would allow it, she would want to be very hands-on in managing the operations of her wellness center. “I made sure that I am actively involved from conceptualization to the actual construction of this place down to the services that we offer,” Liza adds.

HOPE Hand and Foot Wellness exudes serenity and calm with its blush pink, light grey and white color palette, customized comfortable seats for the clients, with sophisticated lighting elements creating the perfect relaxation vibe.

Liza’s wellness center offers not just the basic mani-pedis but special packages such as:  

Boss Lady Package- Even the busiest boss lady needs to be pampered especially when she's on her feet a lot. Our Boss Lady Package starts with a warm Himalayan Salt foot soak to soothe you, followed by a reinvigorating mix of coffee exfoliating foot scrub and softening coconut.
