Leading skin care brand Skin Magical is taking its beauty products line to the next level with the formal launch of Dimples Romana as its brand ambassadress.

Dimples, one of today’s popular dramatic actresses, expresses delight for being chosen as the face of a skin care brand that offers products that are affordable, effective and safe for all types of skin.



Skin Magical chief operating officer Ghie Pangilinan and husband Jerry, on the other hand, said Dimples shares the same characteristics as that of the brand’s campaign, Gandang Palaban, with the objective of making everyone confidently beautiful and happily achieve a successful life. Dimples continues to display her passion for her craft given her stature in showbiz. Apart from acting, the actress takes on a real-life role as a responsible, loving mom to Callie and Alonzo and dutiful wife to Boyet Ahmee.




Dimples, for her part, said, “I’ve always admired the mission and vision of Skin Magical as a company. I saw how Miss Ghie, together with her amazing team, would truly care for our skin care routine, how she would constantly empower those who are new in the business and those who look up to her for inspiration and guidance.”

It is no secret that Ghie and Jerry worked hard prior to being successful in their business. Jerry was a former seaman while Ghie was an online seller who used to sell all kinds of goods, including beauty products. A friend of hers broached the idea of creating her own brand with rejuvenating papaya soap, lotion and toner as introductory products.


Ghie started to sell what she called as Skin Magical Beauty Products. With only an initial capital of P7,000 and a beauty soap with only one distributor, she has painstakingly and skillfully managed to grow their business into what is now considered as one of the best and most successful skin care brands in the Philippines. In fact, Skin Magical has already received various recognitions and awards, among them are:

I have been to some events where cooking is main topic but I have never been a competition of different chefs live. So, it's amazing to see that this  young chefs, budding restaurateurs, and aspiring culinarians from across the Philippines put their skills to the test and rose to the top of their game as they battled it out to earn the privilege of representing their country for an international culinary contest. Lee Kum Kee, the inventor of oyster sauce and a globally renowned Chinese sauce and condiment manufacturer, invited local aspiring chefs to compete at the first ever International Young Chef Chinese Culinary Challenge (IYCCCC) - Philippines Qualifiers at Magsaysay Center for Hospitality and Culinary Arts in Manila last week.

Since its inception in 2014, the IYCCCC has been a biennial contest providing an international exchange platform for the Chinese culinary industry. It encourages young chefs from the world to hone their skills and learn, while at the same time, promoting the inheritance of Chinese culinary skills and sustainable development of the Chinese culinary industry with the aim of enhancing the international standard of Chinese cuisines.


A star-studded judging panel, including Singaporean award-winning Chef Aaron Tan Kean Loon, Champion of Lee Kum Kee International Young Chef Chinese Culinary Challenge 2016, Executive Sous Chef Intercontinental – Singapore, and Chef James Antolin, President of LTB Philippines Chefs Association, Ms Sandy Cu, Product and Business Development Director of Sysu International, and Mr. Ryan Cruz, Business Manager, Lee Kum Kee Philippines selected two winners from the Philippines Qualifiers. The top two talented contestants - Michael Lee Avisado from Vikings Group and Muhajiran "Pongky" Ijiran III from Kuya J Restaurant, earned the privilege to go on to the next level in the 4th IYCCCC in Hong Kong next year, competing with around 50 aspiring young chefs from over 20 countries and regions for the international championship. In the last contest, all three contestants from the Philippines won bronze awards.

The biggest winner during the IYCCC Qualifiers was Michael Lee Avisado from Vikings Group who aside from winning the coveted Gold award, also went on to win the Best Sauce Combination and the Best Presentation categories. Coming in second place with the Silver Award was Muhajiran "Pongky" Ijiran III of Kuya J Restaurant while the Bronze winners were Elier Maghanoy from King Chef Seafood Restaurant (who also won the Most Creative category), Jefferson Palma from King Chef Dimsum Kitchen and Janin Jayco from U-Rack Bar-B-Q & Wings.


The man of the moment, Michael Lee Avisado, has been in the culinary industry for 9 years already and has been with the Vikings Group already for 2 years. He is currently the Executive Sous Chef, as well as the Officer-in-Charge of the restaurant’s Mall of Asia branch. He is partial to Lee Kum Kee for his unique creations as the flavors blend well while retaining each ingredients’ distinct taste. His winning recipe, Shrimp Royale, uses Lee Kum Kee’s iconic XO sauce as its base.

Mr. Leslie Lau, Managing Director - South Asia of Lee Kum Kee said, “With the mission of ‘Promoting Chinese Culinary Culture Worldwide’, Lee Kum Kee is committed to nurturing Chinese culinary talents worldwide. The IYCCCC is an optimal platform for young Chinese chefs from around the world for culinary exchange. In the 3rd IYCCCC, we had representatives from the Philippines for the first time. This year, we are going even further to host the first-ever Philippines Qualifiers. I wish the two talented winners all the success in the finale in Hong Kong next year, representing the Philippines to fight for the championship.”

Renowned for the invention of oyster sauce and its premium quality with over 130 years of history, Lee Kum Kee, is one of the world’s most recognizable names for Chinese sauces and condiments across the globe. Lee Kum Kee first entered the Philippine market with Sysu International Inc as the sole distributor back in the 1980s and has since been one of the trailblazers in the industry, furthering its efforts to promote Chinese culinary culture, and nurturing future local culinary talents.

TikTok, the leading destination for short-form mobile video, is partnering with Global Initiatives to launch the environment-themed #zerowaster challenge from 8-10 November 2019. By offering a home for creative expression, TikTok sees millions of creators around the world showcasing their authentic selves and incredible skills every day. The #zerowaster campaign is set to mobilize TikTok’s global creative community, aiming to inspire and encourage a new generation to take action towards sustainable development.

The #zerowaster challenge encourages participants to produce zero waste over the course of one to three days, and share those experiences on TikTok. Creators will also publish educational TikTok videos with examples and tips on how to lead a zero-waste lifestyle. As part of the partnership, Global Initiatives will also mobilize a global network of students from universities around the world to join this campaign, using their creative ideas to engage followers on TikTok and activate support for a sustainable future. Kim Stengert, Worldwide Fund for Nature (WWF)’s Chief of Strategic Communications says, “Increasingly we are seeing the youth step up and take charge to address the most urgent environmental issues like eliminating waste and addressing climate change. The sustainability movement is gaining traction and young people are an important force behind this.”

“We have to act now. Embracing the circular economy approach will be critical for us to move towards a sustainable future and protect our environment and natural resources,” says Isabelle Louis, Deputy Director of U.N. Environment Programme Asian Pacific Regional Office (UNEP).

The top ten #zerowaster submissions will be featured at the Responsible Business Forum (RBF) on Sustainable Development, before an audience of over 300 business and sustainability leaders from around the world. The Responsible Business Forum is organised by Global Initiatives, in partnership with global organisations such as the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and World Business Council For Sustainable Development (WBCSD), and will be held on 18-19 November in Singapore. These highlights from the #zerowaster campaign are set to inspire individuals across generations and institutions to commit to a zero-waste lifestyle.

"As a popular short form video platform, TikTok has become an important tool for raising awareness and activating support for social causes. I am very excited about the #zerowaster campaign and how this will galvanise youth to play an even greater role towards achieving zero waste,” said Tony Gourlay, Chief Executive Officer, Global Initiatives.
