Rhian Ramos Embraces 'YOU' as the Philippines Beauty Ambassador, Following in the Footsteps of Global Icon Kim Soo Hyun

 

Flawless and radiant skin is the beauty asset many work hard for. For celebrities with busy schedules and countless modeling gigs, their beauty regimens are their best-kept secrets to glowing, healthy, and beautiful skin. However, it’s not every day that fans get access to this, but luckily, Filipina actress and model Rhian Ramos has finally revealed her own skin secrets for the public to take inspiration from.

Known for her timeless beauty and grace, this Filipino celebrity is well loved for staying authentic while constantly reinventing herself in a fast- paced world. Rhian shared her morning routine, which she described as ‘simple’ but very important. “I just rinse my face with water and pat dry with a paper towel, and then apply Y.O.U. Beauty Radiance Glow Illuminating Serum and sunscreen,” she said. Her cherished secret - Y.O.U. Beauty Radiance Glow Illuminating Serum – is all she needs to achieve a plump, hydrated, and supple beauty look once she leaves her home for a busy day ahead.

                                                  

When work ends, Rhian ensures her skin is rid of all pollutants, dirt, and impurities accumulated during her day. “In the evening I deep clean my face making sure there's no makeup left, then pat dry it with a paper towel, and apply the same serum before going to bed,” Rhian added, making sure Y.O.U. Beauty Radiance Glow Illuminating Serum is still a part of her evening routine for maximum effectiveness.

Her simple but impactful skin regimen was not easy to build at first. When she first started her skincare routine, she used to separately layer her skin with a niacinamide booster, hyaluronic serum, and vitamin C booster. Her multi-step regimen was difficult to follow because of her hectic schedule and constant travels – until she discovered the Y.O.U. Beauty Radiance Glow Illuminating Serum, which combines all those three skin-loving properties into one potent, easy-to-apply serum.

                    

“When I started using Y.O.U. Beauty Radiance Glow Illuminating Serum, I found it to be much more hydrating than my old hyaluronic acid. Plus, it has Sakura Extract which is an ingredient I did not think of before,” Rhian said. “It perfectly pairs with the Niacinamide & Vitamin C to achieve glowy and supple skin, and calm my redness.”         

                             

The serum is formulated by Y.O.U. in partnership with Japanese cosmetic research and developer expert Tadahiro Shimada specifically for Southeast Asian skin that is constantly exposed to tropical weather and is likely to be sensitive, oily, or a combination of both skin types. Through the power of Mizu Glow Technology, the serum enables celebrities like Rhian Ramos achieve skin glass skin by minimizing pores, softening the skin, and brightening dark spots.

                                                            

For Rhian, at the end of the day, the most important thing about a skincare regimen is one that really works for her everyday schedule and lifestyle. “A skin that is soft, smooth and plump is one that works for my lifestyle. The Niacinamide and Sakura Extract make me confident that my skin barrier is strong and protected from pollutants (cause I'm a city girl).”

 

Y.O.U. Beauty Radiance Glow is now available for Php 499 in official Lazada, Shopee, and TikTok shops of Y.O.U. and select Watsons, SM Beauty, Robinsons Department Stores, Gaisano Capital Group, Prince Retail Group, KCC, Mart One, and The Landmark.

Here are some of the powerful devices from HONOR Philippines this year

 

Philippines’ leading smart devices provider, HONOR, has had a very busy year with its back-to-back launches of their powerful devices in the country! From entry-level to flagship smartphones, HONOR certainly fulfilled its vision to GO BEYOND this 2023.

 

“We are still overwhelmed with the tremendous support HONOR has gotten over the past year, and it’s reflected through our sales and overall improved visibility over the country – from the continuous virality of HONOR X9a 5G by the month, to the skyrocketing sales of HONOR 90 5G which sold out in record time upon its release. This makes us even more excited for what’s to come next year for HONOR Philippines,” said Stephen Cheng, Vice President of HONOR Philippines.

With the brand’s back-to-back product launches in 2023, here’s a brief rundown of some of the powerful devices from HONOR Philippines this year.

 

HONOR X9A 5G: A SMASH HIT

HONOR started this year with a bang with the release of HONOR X9a 5G last January. This catapulted the brand into virality, with its industry-leading ultra-tough OLED curved display that was put to test through various means, including smash and drop challenges. It also packs a Matrix Star Ring Camera System housing a triple rear camera setup and a 5100 mAh powerhouse battery while maintaining its premium-looking sleek design – all for an affordable price of Php 16,990! You may get yours either in Titanium Silver or Emerald Green.

  

HONOR 90 5G: FLAGSHIP-LEVEL SPECS, MIDRANGE PRICE

Impressive cannot begin to describe this phone, with its wide array of specs from its camera to its screen, as well as overall performance. To start, not all smartphones in the midrange category can carry a 200 Megapixel rear camera and 50 Megapixel front camera system without compromising its other features, but HONOR 90 5G managed to deliver. Beyond its camera performance, HONOR 90 5G also has one of the most advanced high-frequency Pulse Width Modulation dimming technology at 3840 Hz, which greatly helps with lessening eye strains with long periods of phone usage. Available in three colors – Diamond Silver, Emerald Green, and Midnight Black, HONOR 90 5G is priced at Php 24,990.

 

HONOR 90 LITE 5G: LITE PRICE, HIGH-LEVEL PERFORMANCE

The great reception of the Philippine tech market to HONOR 90 5G prompted the brand to release its budget-friendlier sibling, the HONOR 90 Lite 5G. While it’s noticeably on the slimmer and lighter side of HONOR’s lineup of smartphones, this newest iteration still packs a wide array of specs that other competitors unusually carry within the same price range. Apart from its 100 MP Camera system, which allows for ultra clear photography, this phone packs 8GB + 256GB Super Storage, an eye-protection technology, and a 4500 mAh battery that can last for up to two days. HONOR 90 Lite 5G is priced at Php 12,990 and available in Cyan Lake and Midnight Black.

 

These and more are all available via all HONOR Experience Stores and partner dealers nationwide (bit.ly/HONORPhysicalStores) or online via Lazada (bit.ly/HONORPHLaz), Shopee (bit.ly/HONORPHShpe), and TikTok Shop (bit.ly/HONORPHTikTok).

Save Philippine Seas, Coca-Cola team up to provide waste solutions funding

Now in its fifth year, Reimagine Recycling, a project by Coca-Cola Philippines and Save Philippine Seas that aims to scale emerging circular economy initiatives, is once again seeking to support waste solutions through project funding and capacity-building opportunities.

   From the pool of applications, up to 10 finalists will be selected to attend the Reimagine Recycling Summit in January 2024. During the summit, they will have the opportunity to meet with past winners, participate in workshops, and pitch their proposals before a panel of experts and specialists.

The program is part of Coca-Cola’s continuous efforts to achieve a World Without Waste through partnerships with organizations. In 2018, The Coca-Cola Company pledged to collect and recycle an equivalent of every bottle and can it sells by 2030; make its packaging recyclable globally by 2025, and use at least 50% recycled materials in its bottles by 2030. The company has also opened a state-of-the-art bottle-to-bottle recycling facility in General Trias, Cavite in 2021.

“At Coca-Cola Foundation Philippines, we believe in the power of collective action and the ability to make a difference. That is why we are excited to support the 5^th year of Reimagine Recycling! We continue to seek new innovations from groups who share our vision of caring for our communities and supporting our informal waste sector,” said Cecile Alcantara, Coca-Cola Foundation Philippines President.

The True Motivation Behind Michelle Marquez Dee's Advocacies

“It felt like forever.” 

 

This is how Miss Universe Philippines 2023 Michelle Marquez Dee described the moment when she was announced as the winner last May.

 

“All you can hope for is that destiny is on your side — and it was on that night of May 13. When they finally called my name, honestly, I just felt like all the hard work paid off. When you’ve dedicated your whole life and everything for that moment to happen, mapapabagsak ka. I actually bent over because of relief, happiness, and gratitude.”

 

28-year-old Michelle will represent the Philippines at Miss Universe in El Salvador in November.

She is the finest fit, even PLDT Inc. Chairman Manuel V. Pangilinan himself said upon meeting her, along with the other Miss Universe Philippines queens at a PLDT and Smart exclusive meet-and-greet with executives and employees at Ramon Cojuangco Building in Makati City recently.

 

“We could think of no better woman to proudly bear the flag at this year’s Miss Universe pageant than Michelle,” Pangilinan said. “She is smart with her confidence and authentic with her advocacies. We at PLDT fully stand beside her. We have no doubt that she will be one of the strongest queens in the field, and that she will go very far.”

 

Deepening her connections

Michelle celebrates, and at the same time, bears on her shoulders the legacy of her mother Melanie Marquez in the pageant world. Melanie is the youngest Miss International, winning the title when she was only 15 years old in 1979. Later on, she became a successful actress, starring in comedy films and TV sitcoms.

 

An actress, model, and PLDT Home ambassador, Michelle enjoys a close relationship with her parents and siblings, with whom she always stays connected through video calls.

 

“My mom is one of my biggest inspirations. She is responsible for why I am so strong,” she says. “She is somebody that I really look up to. She was nothing but proud. She instilled in my mind that I should shine as my own woman, be confident in what I have and what I have to offer.”

PLDT Home Ambassador Michelle Marquez Dee and mom, actress, and Miss International 1979 Melanie Marquez have maintained a close relationship through the years.

 

On the night Michelle won, pageant fans went wild when they saw what netizens dubbed “the snake walk.” She recalls, “The inspiration was really my mother. My trainer Ian Mendajar and I were conceptualizing the walk and really trying to personalize my choreography. We had always aspired to integrate my mom as an inspiration throughout my journey and we felt like this was the right moment.”

 

Michelle wanted to do something special during the coronation night because it was Mother’s Day the following day. “I dedicated my whole journey to my mom and my family. I owe it to them that I’m a strong and empowered individual.”

 

Michelle’s international pageant journey would have commenced in 2019 when she won Miss World Philippines, but the pandemic happened. She then joined Miss Universe Philippines 2022, where she won Miss Universe Philippines Tourism, second to Filipino-Italian Celeste Cortesi who won the crown, with the two becoming close friends over time. Early this year, Michelle became part of the cast of the fantasy drama Mga Lihim ni Urduja, which premiered in February, and throughout the MUP competition — where she first had to compete to represent Makati — she was running on only a few hours of sleep between the pageant competition and taping.

 

Throughout her busy schedule, Michelle constantly communicated with her family and friends. And thanks to social media, powered by the fastest broadband connection provided by PLDT Home, she realized just how much of a positive impact she had on her fans and that she could have on young people – especially young girls who aspire to be successful in and outside the pageant circuit.

 

“Miss Universe is undoubtedly one of the biggest platforms to really create positive change around the world, and that’s my main goal. I want to set a great example for people to become empowered and transformational leaders,” she says. “To finally walk this path is absolutely amazing. I’ve had one of the hardest times in the past few months, and it was all worth it. Hard work and dedication can get you anywhere you want in life.”

 

Spreading the word on her causes

PLDT Home Ambassador Michelle Marquez Dee in support of Autism Society Philippines’ Angels Walk for Autism last April, with brother Mazen who also has special needs.

 

Now that she has an enormous opportunity to push her advocacies and start conversations around autism, Michelle says that everything she does must have a purpose.

 

“My two siblings on the autism spectrum are my lifelong mission. Being able to give to them what they need and to be a part of the solution is something that I don't take lightly. I know the kind of life I want them to live, I know what is lacking in the Philippines and the world. It means the world to me to be part of such a positive change for my siblings and for everybody that's on the autism spectrum as well.”

 

“At Autism Society Philippines, we see every individual on the spectrum as having their own talent and we want them to live fulfilled and empowered lives. That's why I really advocate for acceptance, inclusivity, and awareness. My two siblings were also there during the coronation night, cheering for me. I knew that they understood that this competition was for them,” she adds.

 

Michelle is a true example of a Filipino with an open and welcoming heart for everyone regardless of color, gender, or station in life. Even at a young age, she was participating in the charities her family was involved in. Her grandmother founded the Inner Peace Foundation over 40 years ago, which Michelle now heads.

 

“My father always taught me that if you have the means to give back, then you should always give back. I’m so grateful to have such strong pillars in my life, teaching me that the only way to go is to make sure that people around you are safe and taken care of.”

Going back to her roots

Michelle takes to heart the lesson her family taught her: “To always walk life full of gratitude, love and kindness.”

 

No wonder that when she was asked during the pageant what to her is the best the country can offer the world, she answered straight from the heart. It’s always the people. As she said, “We are the true heart and soul of the Philippines with the way we are hospitable, with our warm smiles. And we are the reason why the world keeps coming back for more. No matter where the universe takes me, I'll always be proud to call the Philippines my home. And no matter what happens I will always be proud to call myself Pinoy.”
