Angelica Panganiban, the new face of Silka Green Papaya, talks about beauty and women empowerment during the media conference held at the Las Casa Filipinas de Azucar Quezon City. It is the date that Angelica was officially introduced as Silka Green Papaya's new brand ambassador and it is also the celebration of the campaign called Silka's White Weeksary. A campaign that gives its 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 beautiful.


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.

Experience puting walang hapdi in as early as 7 days and celebrate a White Weeksary with Silka Green Papaya soap to look and be your best all the time.

2019 is a good leap for Barefruit Group of Companies as their only Mediterranean food brand JM Shawarma move their flavor up north. Taking a bigger bite of the Luzon market and by having Araw Gabi actor, singer and endorser JM de Guzman as their official face.

A name match-made in shawarma. JM for JM, JM de Guzman for JM Shawarma.

This Meditteranean brand, JM Shawarma, oiginally came from the Tuna Capital of the Philippines, General Santos City. This shawarma brand has been one of the top in the Visayas and Mindanao region for almost six years. But more recently, the brand has ventured in Manila thereby widening their reach to a total of 100 stores nationwide.




With JM de Guzman onboard the brand is assuring that they will bring more what is expected from them. More new products, exciting and unique flavors, and more variants will be rolling out in their stores.

“Excited ako kasi sobrang sarap sa pakiramdam na mapagkatiwalaan na maging endorser ng isang brand gaya ng JM Shawarma, na talagang tinatangkilik ng mga kababayan natin,” said JM, who’s more than grateful for the new blessing in his career.

“It’s a first for me in a long while, so nilo-look forward ko ang pagsasama namin at kung paano ako makakatulong para sa JM Shawarma,” added JM.





According to Barefruit Group of Companies’ founder and chief financial officer Hannah Miranda-Mamon, choosing JM as their official face is a no brainer since, like JM, their brand also has a great potential.

“We believe na sa dami ng pinagdaanan ni JM Shawarma as a brand, we can relate to the story of JM de Guzman. Si JM himself ay marami ding pinagdaanan pero ngayon, he made a great comeback and that he never gave up,” said Hannah.



While they are a newcomer in Luzon, Hannah boasts that JM Shawarma’s superior food taste made up of fresh ingredients and tasty sauces of garlic, cheese and barbecue is something that could put them at par with their competitors, on top of their products’ affordability.

“We also have Tuna Shawarma highlighting the abundant product of Mindanao mostly healthy buff love it. We also regularly introduce variety among our products. The recent blockbusters that we have are the Cheesy Wrap and Shawarma Overload,” she shared.


But as far as their competition is concerned, Hannah underscores that it’s only a secondary issue for them. “It’s a challenge that inspires all entrepreneurs to continuously improve. As long as we continue to focus on taking care of our customers, consistent in our quality and as long as we have dedicated and happy team around we can compete,” she said.

Expect to see more JM Shawarma stalls in the coming years, especially in the common areas in Metro Manila and other parts of Luzon and Visayas with their commissaries now ready to serve the entire Philippines and with JM ready to just munch it with JM Shawarma.


Barefruit Group of Companies profile

Established in 2010, the Barefruit Group of Companies has been in the food and beverage business for almost nine years now. Initially capitalizing on the founders experience in the food industry and utilizing the abundant products of Mindanao, they were able to put up around six food concepts namely Barefruit, Barefruit Guyabano, Merry Mango, Pedro Pen Buko, Kutsara.ph and JM Shawarma.




To date, the Barefruit Group of Companies already has 250 stores nationwide from Jolo to Marawi City. On top of strengthening their brand, Barefruit Group of Companies also actively participates in helping the community through Project Earth, wherein they assist farmers in the development of trees and vegetable farms.

One of the hottest love team in the local entertainment industry joins the Jollibee family. Joshua Garcia and Julia Barretto or simple called Joshlia are the newest brand ambassadors of Jollibee.
"We see incredible potential in Julia and Joshua, young millennials who believe in always seeking out the best in everything; in their respective careers, their daily decisions, and of course, their burgers," said Jollibee AVP for Marketing Kent Mariano. "They embody a generation that won't settle for anything less than the best and knows that for 100% beefy, langhap-sarap, there's always the Yum Burger".
Jollibee,the Philippine's top fast-food chain, welcomes two young and dynamic teen stars to its growing family. Julia Barreto and Joshua Garcia, stars of a recent blockbuster teen romance film, Kath and Vince and James, are featured in Jollibee Yum Burger's latest TV Commercial that aired last March 5, 2017.
The new TVC alludes to a classic 1980's ad produced by the fast food chain, which showed just how irresistible Jollibee's langhap-sarap appeal is, even to foreigners. For decades, Jollibee stayed true to its langhap-sarap claim and ensured that the Yum Burger maintains its 100% beefy, langhap-sarap goodness.
Joshlia loves the Cheese Yum Burger, aside on that, Joshua loves also the Cheesy Bacon Mushroom Yum and the Ultimate Burger Steak. Just like Joshua, Julia loves also the Cheesy Bacon Mushroom and the Spicy Chickenjoy.

My family loves to dine at Jollibee. If our kids are asked where they want to eat, they'll definitely going to say Jollibee. We all know that most of the time the kids are our boss in choosing where to dine at. We love burgers at Jollibee it is truly a langhap sarap, it is always included in our meal.

"I was just so happy," the young actress shared. "Jollibee was a big part of my career when I was starting out, so this endorsement is like coming home."
It was in 2014 when Julia first endorsed the Yum Burger, which she said was "one of the best choices I've made so far."

Despite being part of a renowned showbiz clan, Julia shares many things in common with other young Filipinos her age growing up. She admits to being a batang-Jollibee, with the brand being around constantly for the most important moments of her life.

"I have so many memories with Jollibee and we always went there as a family," she shared.
When asked why she loves the Yum Burger (her favorite is the Yum Cheeseburger), the young actress answered: "It's uniquely delicious and Pinoy, Isang langhap mo pa lang,alam mong sarap agad ang matitikman."

Joshua Garcia, on the other hand, is relatively a newcomer to Philippine Showbiz. He was first seen on a long running TV reality show, where his candid personality and relatable life story resonated among millions of viewers.
Like Julia, the 19 year old actor was emotional upon finding out that he was chosen as an endorser for one of the country's biggest, most-loved homegrown brands.

"I really prayed and waited for a project like this," Joshua shared. "I cried when my handler confirmed that my Yum Burger endorsement is a go".
The Batangas-born actor shared that he missed out on a Jollibee childhood. "I only experienced Jollibee when I started out in showbiz. It was  a very memorable experience when I finally walked in a Jollibee store and bought myself a meal that I paid for with my own money."

"I love the Yum Cheeseburger, too, because it has this kumpletong sarap," he said "And I love that it's made with 100% beef. You can easily smell why it's best. Amoy pa lang, ang sarap na."
"We hope that Julia and Joshua will inspire Filipino millennnials to continue their pursuit for the best." concluded Mariano. "On Jollibee's part, we will continue our efforts to ensure that the Yum Burger will always have that 100% beefy, langhap-sarap goodness,that young Pinoy's all over the country love."

Last May was indeed a successful day for Nails.Glow because they just opened 2 new branches in two different locations. The company really embraced their tagline "Standout @ 6" and they really are standing out and making waves of development and expansion of their brand, Nails.Glow.


My husband and I were very fortunate to witness the grand opening of their 2 branches which are located at Robinsons Regalado and SM San Jose Del Monte. Ms. Liza Soberano, the brand ambassadress, graced the 2 opening of the branches with of course a meet and greet of her fans and patrons of Nails.Glow.

You can really see how popular Liza Soberano is because on the two branch openings crowds are overflowing. Everybody wants to see their idol and get an opportunity to have a photo with her. Even while having her nails done inside, Nails.Glow staff took their chance of having a photo with her. You can also see fans outside peeping just to have a glimpse of Liza Soberano.



It was really amazing how this company made it to where they are right now. I remember the very first time that I was able to cover their event and blog about them, you can read it here if you want to, it was great. Now that they are celebrating their 6 years in this industry, we were able to ask about their secret to success. Here's a video of our interview with the owners of Nails.Glow Ma'am AJ Opena and Sir Ferdie Opena.


They shared their secrets to their success, the feelings having all these achievements and the coming plans for Nails.Glow and their big news.
More Power to Nails.Glow and to Mam AJ and Sir Ferdie, thank you for having us every time you have your events.
