SANYA LOPEZ, as the world’s leading gin brand’s 2020 Calendar Girl
Ginebra San Miguel obviously has a high rate quality of taste when it comes to choosing its calendar girls. For the year 2020, the leading gin brand in the country chose Sanya Lopez as its newest “Island Girl.”
Announced today, October 24. 2019 at the Novotel in Quezon City, Ginebra San Miguel revealed the Kapuso actress as its new calendar girl. She joins previous holders of the title like Miss Universe 2015 PiaWurtzbach (2019), Kim Domingo (2017), Arci Muñoz (2016), and Marian Rivera (2009 & 2014), among many other Filipina beauties.
Sanya said about the rare opportunity:
“It is an honor and a privilege to be chosen as Ginebra San Miguel’s 2020 Calendar Girl. I feel excited and nervous at the same time. To be part of Ginebra San Miguel’s history, to be entrusted with this role as brand ambassador and to be the newest addition to the Ginebra San Miguel family is definitely a huge blessing.”
Sanya is an actress and host based on Kapuso GMA network who started appearing on television in 2012 when late German “KuyaGerms” Moreno, GMA star builder. But it wasn’t until 2016 when she finally rose to stardom after being chosen to play the role of Hara Danaya of the 2016 television remake of Encantadia.Today, she is among the respected actresses in the said network and I especially admire her for her being accommodating.
Embracing her new role as Ginebra’s Island Girl, Sanya revealed that she prepared for her calendar shoot – where she worked with BJ Pascual – seriously by going on a no carbs diet. She shared:
“I only ate fish and chicken. I also did a lot of cardio workout, mostly running, Muay Thai and boxing.”
But the 23-year-old actress wasn’t chosen for her beauty and body alone. Ginebra San Miguel Inc.’s Marketing Manager, Ronald Molina said they saw exemplary characteristics in Sanya, professing virtues of courage, resiliency, optimism, and “never say die” spirit. These traits, according to Mr. Molina, are representations of their GSM brand’s identity as a premiere gin maker.
Ginebra has been around since 1834 and it’s older than the Republic of the Philippines. In its 185 years of existence, it has already become a part of the Philippine history, being a brand that survived countless wars and revolutions. Today, its taste is still the same as its first gin, manifesting true resilience and preservation of history.
Sanya said about being likened to the company’s true character:
“I consider the challenges and struggles that I went through in life as motivation to never give up in pursuing my dreams. It is my family that inspires me to be ‘ganadosabuhay.’”
As a part of her role as Ginebra San Miguel’s “Island Girl”, Sanya will be joining the “Ginuman Fest” tour, which is the company’s annual series of music festivals that brings together gin lovers around the country in a long event dubbed One Ginebra Nation.
During the event, Sanya even got her own Ginebra San Miguel cocktail called “Sanya’s Island Mix”, a concoction of pineapple, buko juice and gin.
Additionally, Ginebra unveiled four new calendar layouts that feature the brand’s lines of products including Ginebra San Miguel, GSM Blue, Primera light brandy, and Vino Kulafu, the leading Chinese wine brand.

GSMI is also popular for its other products including GSM Blue Light Gin, GSM Blue Mojito, GSM Blue Gin Pomelo, GSM Blue Margarita, GSM Premium Gin, Don Enrique Mixkila, Antonov Vodka, Vino Kulafu, Primera Light Brandy and Anejo Gold Rum .

The artist participated for the visual arts community revolving on the theme of chairs: Ciron Señeres and Marc Aran Reyes.
Where arts and heart collide, there’ll be one great charity event as a result.
Plain Bo Concept and Casa Bella chairs served as canvases to several contemporary artists in the country to come up with designer chairs that are about to sold to collect funds for a good cause. This stint is from the collaboration of the Visual Arts Helping Hands Foundation, Inc (VAHHFI) and the Metropolitan Museum of Manila through the art event called Chapter 2: The Empty Chair Project.
The biennial gathering of creative minds and generous individuals lists the museum as beneficiary and selects mental health advocacy groups like Anxiety and Depression Support Philippines, Silakbo, Buhay Movement, and #MentalHealthPh. More than that, it also seeks to support VAHHFI’s healthcare initiative for practicing visual artists and artist support practitioners like art critics, art professors, curators, and established gallery workers.

This year’s gathering serves as the VAHHFI’s inaugural launch and coming out event, which follows the initial charity event in 2017. The previous exhibition aimed to raise funds primarily for visual artists’ welfare and hospitalization assistance, which resulted in the eventual creation of the foundation. Sculptor and main founding member Daniel Dela Cruz shared:
“Creating and registering the foundation took two years.
…it is the artists in service of other artists and those in the community.”
Chapter 2: The Empty Chair Project tackles the timely subject of Mental Health, and the idea that art can be a part of the healing process. It also aims to expand VAHHFI’s reach in generating awareness not only among the visual arts community but also among the general public. Furthermore, the organization hopes to provide collectors the chance to purchase unique artworks through collectible chairs and also give them the opportunity to help not just the artists but the professionals who support the artists in the visual art ecosystem.
To make this year’s event a reality, VAHHFI challenged some of the best artists in the visual arts scene to interpret, translate, and realize what an empty chair means. Additionally, the art concepts embody the message of “hope, kindness, and positivity to all.” Artists are also eager to encourage mental fitness as a part of one’s own overall well-being interpreted through their works.
Mr. Dela Cruz says about this goal:
“In as much as our foundation focuses on physical fitness, mental fitness should also be part of our regimen to protect and safeguard our overall well-being.
We spend time and energy exercising and going to the gym, but we also need to remember to take time to relax, de-stress, and rest our minds and our soul. Art, and all creative endeavors, soothes the soul and nourishes it.”
Priced tag with a hefty price of a hundred thousand pesos, every one-of-a-kind masterpiece will generate funds for VAHH’s medical endowment funds. This embodies VAHHFI’s raison d’etre and philosophy: To give back to the visual arts community by providing funds to institutional partners and medical assistance to members of the visual arts community.
Some of the artists who contributed their time and talent for this charity event include Leo Abaya, Fruitjuice Factory Studio with Isabel and Alfredo Aquilizan, Annie Cabigting, Valeria Cavestany, Charlie Co, Louie Cordero, Jayson Cortez, Marina Cruz, Kawayan de Guia, Antipas “Biboy” Delotavo, Dexter Fernandez, Dino Gabito, Nona Garcia, Guerrero “RG” Habulan, Gregory Halili, Riel Hilario, NiloIlarde, Pete Jimenez, Erwin Leaño, Raul Lebajo, Luis Lorenzana, Gene Paul Martin, Jason Montinola, Leeroy New, Rando Onia, Jim Orencio, Bernie Pacquing, LynyrdParas, Richard Quebral, Marc Aran Reyes, Jose Tence “Bogie” Ruiz, Stanley Ruiz, Luis Santos, Ciron Señeres, Rodel Tapaya, and MM Yu.
Since April 2018, the charity program has been providing assistance to artists and other art workers, like art writers, a museum director and a gallery owner who suffer ailments like thyroid cancer, recurrence of tumor, and kidney disease.
Chapter 2: The Empty Chair Project will run from November 12, 2019, Tuesday, to January 31, 2020, Friday. An opening reception on November 12 will happen at the Metropolitan Museum of Manila at the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas Complex along Roxas Boulevard, Manila. So for those who want to own a unique art piece and extend help to those who need it, you can check details on how you can participate at metmuseum.ph. You can also call +632 708 7828 or email [email protected] for other information. Check out, too, VAHHFI’s website www.visualartshelpinghands.org for updates, news, and application information.
This charity project is supported by Meralco, PLDT, AXA, Casa Bella and Bo Concept.

I’m sure you’ve seen several people doing live selling on Facebook. It’s seemingly become the trend today to have a more personal interaction with shoppers even when the seller and the buyer are from different sides of the world. Plus, it’s a way to let people know that you are legit and show the quality of your items to give shoppers the confidence that they are buying the right product from the right person.
But LBC’s Social Sellers Bazaar collected all of these entrepreneurs together in an expo to let virtual sellers come to real contact with buyers.
The Philippines’ number 1 courier and logistics company held its first ever So Shop! Social Sellers Bazaar on October 5 at Function Room 4, SMX Convention Center, Mall of Asia, Pasay City. Over 100 entrepreneurs based online registered to set up their stalls which thousands of shoppers visited. Of course, there was an exciting program where industry speakers and influencers came to give their inspiring experiences and words of motivation.
As for business owners, it was a huge opportunity to add more people to their network and ensure their new customers with top-rate customer service through LBC’s Cash on Pick-up (COP) and Cash on Delivery (COD) services. For people who prefer to shop more conveniently online, these services of LBV are very useful. First, for busy workers who can’t go to bank during work hours, COP is the better option to pay their items. For busy moms who can’t leave their home, COD is the perfect payment method.
LBC’s Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer for Philippine Branch Operations Oliver L. Valentin discussed how they wish to empower micro, small, and medium enterprises in the country through their bazaar, saying:
“With more and more Filipinos setting up their businesses online, we at LBC, believe that it’s high time to bring online businesses together, in one venue, and get to interact with their buyers live. So Shop! is our commitment to empowering micro, small, and medium enterprises in the country.”
The bazaar was an exhibition of almost all kinds of products that can be shopped online. From gadgets where Juan Gadget, Droid Hero, and JBL Store PH participated to give exclusive deals and discounts to beauty and makeup products featuring Korean and Japanese brands, Pinays and Pinoys were totally captivated by the expo. And it’s just in time for the gift giving season!
Talks were also given which is one of the most interesting parts for me because the topics were about starting and growing businesses online. Social media gave a lot of people the opportunity to improve their lives through this online selling that almost every mom is now doing. From one live feed to another live feed, these entrepreneurs get so invigorated most especially when they see how much they’ve earned at the end of their live video session.
One show on television broadcasted recently revealed one online seller making 7-figure income from one live show. And that is from selling bags. So imagine how powerful social media could actually be. For that, LBC invited Facebook Philippines Head of Agency Liam Capati who discussed how to Facebook Ads work to the advantage of entrepreneurs.
Gladys Lacorte, Canva Community Team Lead
But it’s not enough to just pay a fee for the ad. You need to make your creative really appealing so you can spark the interest of FB goers at first glance. Canva Community Team Lead Gladys Lacorte was then asked to talk about the importance of having visually appealing social media pages through designs that represent a business’ personality.
Rachell Araja-De Luna, Founder of Creative Boss
Carlo Ople, PLDT Vice-President for Digital Strategy and Consumer Disruptive Business
Another must-have for online sellers is a website. So Creative Boss Founder Rachell Araja-De Luna shared why a website is a must-have for an online business, with it being a repository of one’s products online. PLDT Vice-President for Digital Strategy and Consumer Disruptive Business Carlo Ople was also present to talk about why businesses should be present on the digital space and how to effectively tap online communities to reach a specific target market.
Neri Miranda gives mompreneurs on how to juggle being a mom and a business owner at the same time
Wil Dasovich shares his story as a content creator to excited fans.
To make the program even more interesting, several influencers and at the same time successful entrepreneurs also shared their inspiring stories. Two of them where Neri Naig Miranda who shared her strategies on how she made one business bud into one and another one until she already has several sources of income. On the other hand, famous content creator and vlogger Wil Dasovich talked about how he creates stories that earns him multi-figures and how he makes his subscribers keep asking for more of his videos.
Aira Medina, Founder of Neon Island
In another part of the program, there was a panel discussion that saw several online business owners including Jamico Jamlang, founder of sustainable businesses The Bamboo Company and Chesca De Mesa, co-founder and managing director of Refuse PH. Joining them was Havas Media Ortega Head of Data and Analytics Phil Tiongson who gave the audience a glimpse of Havas’ global study centering around consumers’ mindful consumption.
Kim Lato, Founder of Kimstore
Alyssa Gibbs, Founder of Neon Island
Women entrepreneurs also took center stage with Kimstore Founder Kim Lato and Neon Island Founders Alyssa Gibbs and Aira Medina. They shared what it’s like starting and growing a business, as women, and how they overcame the challenges that came with it.
The event was hosted by 101.1 Yes FM DJ Rico Panyero and Love Radio DJ Raqi Terra, making So Shop! Not just a star-studded bazaar but one that has taught online business owners new techniques to move their businesses forward.
Chief Marketing Officer of LBC Express-Global Marketing Javier Mantecon closes the first-ever So Shop! event by thanking all the participating sellers and customers who showed up to support, making the event a true success.
To wrap up the program, Javier Mantecon, Chief Marketing Officer of LBC Express-Global Marketing, reiterated the company’s commitment to move lives, including those of the social sellers. He said:
“As the e-commerce community continues to grow, LBC remains your partner. We hope that this is just the beginning of our long partnership. We want to help you take that move, wherever that may be.”

We women live in a society where our outward appearance seems to have become all-important – the yardstick by which we measure ourselves and by which we are measured. In my decades of experience on reviewing skin care products and dermatology procedures, I’ve explored every aspect of how we see beauty and the extraordinary lengths to which we go in pursuing it.
We’ve drifted along, guided by market forces into accepting that beauty is some kind of mask we put on, when in truth it is simply the natural result of vibrant health. We spend no end of time and money on the image we present to the world, but at the same time, we often make poor choices that compromise our well-being.
But we have to admit that the beauty products made today bring great help to finding the right skin care regimen that we should use. Instead of experimenting as non-pros which can even lead to solutions that mitigate the damage, we should find the safest products that our can really take care of our stressed-out skin.
The famous European brand Avène launched its Shine-Free Week September 26 – October 2 campaign at SM Makati. It holds a display of their ace cleansers, moisturizers and more under the product line Cleanance.
Dr. Karen Gavino-Dionisio
Well-known dermatologist Dr. Karen Gavino-Dionisio of the Aesthetic Institute of the Philippines shared information about good skin cleansing habits and specific products that can help prevent breakouts, arrest excessive oil production and sooth sensitive skin.
All week long, consumers will get lectures on skin types, the importance of caring for oily skin, the do’s and don’ts of oily skin and what products to use for various skin needs as they went through various stations at the Cleanance booth to enjoy interactive experiences and win prizes.
As you know, your daily beauty habits have a big impact on what you see in the mirror. Ultimately, caring for your skin is simply personal.
While Sebum is vital for keeping the skin healthy, too much of it can lead to oily skin, clogged pores, and acne. Managing oily skin often requires a person making regular skin care a habit.
To help, Cleanance,came up with the ultimate solution to oily skin for both men and women. It is made especially for acne-prone skin with spots and blackheads because it has gentle and exclusive active ingredients that regulate sebum production without drying the skin and also reduces the appearance of blemishes.
During Avène’s week-long Shine-Free Campaign, customers will gain access to Cleanance EXPERT—the full Cleanance line that was introduced at the interactive booths. When used as a team, the products help to carry out the Cleanance Skin Care Routine of Cleanse, Prepare, Reduce Blemishes and Protect.
Products featured in these events include:
Cleanance Cleansing Gel – to jump start the cleansing process and control sebum production. It is soap-free but deeply cleanses the skin while maintaining the surface hydrolipidic film.
Cleanance Micellar Water – to gently remove impurities from the face and eyes without the need to rinse.
Cleanance Mattifying Lotion – a two toner combination of gentle astringent and mattifying powders to purify skin and tighten pores without irritation.
Cleanance Skin Refining Serum – a super light, watery texture serum that gives skin a sensation of comfort and freshness.
Cleanance Expert Emulsion -to reduce blemishes and dark spots.
Cleanance Spot Corrector – a pen that helps reduce the appearance of localized blemishes with daily use and touch up unwanted spots.
Cleanance Solaire – provides high-sun protection of delicate facial skin with acne.
The goal of any skin-care routine is to tune up your complexion so it’s functioning at its best, and also troubleshoot or target any areas you want to work on. Beauty routines are an opportunity to notice changes within yourself. As your skin needs shifts with age, so will your products.
Ms. Anna Talatala, Head of Marketing of KARIHOME, Inc.
The Cleanance EXPERT-Complete Care line is formulated for sensitive skin because it has gentle and exclusive active ingredients to regulate sebum production without drying the skin, even as it reduces the appearance of blemishes. It contains Diolenyl that targets blemishes, X- Press in that smoothens skin texture, Monolaur in that regulates sebum hyper production and Avéne Thermal Spring Water that soothes, softens and prevents skin irritation.

Using natural products has become an effective trend in recent years that passed. From supplements to food, and even in beauty regimens, people have swiftly shifted from chemicals to all-natural.
And why not? Revamping your entire diet and lifestyle to improve your health could be a grace. Choosing natural products can pay off in a big boost to your health and even to your hair health, which you’ll certainly notice quickly after the transition.
Among the many natural beauty products available in the market, one of the packages I see to it I have is the Novuhair 3-1 pack. Growing older, I’d like to keep my hair firm, strong, smooth, and looking beautiful as it adds to my youthful vibe. And like they said, a girl’s crowning glory is her hair so going an extra mile to keep it healthy is not at all an arduous task for me.
As part of its advocacy to promote the use of natural products and healthier lifestyle, Hair and beauty expert Fanny “TF” Serrano’ own formula he called Novuhair Nature’s Answer to Hair Loss is now being sold at a promo package in all Watsons stores nationwide.
You’ll still have to purchase the 3-in-1 Pack at P5,280 but you will get a free 200ml bottle of NOVUHAIR Herbal Shampoo which is worth P1,100! Imagine saving 21% of the total package price. That’s a huge budget deal that you get to enjoy while maintaining your lustrous hair.
Made out of 19 NATURAL INGREDIENTS—mostly standardized herbal extracts, essential oils and co-factor nutrients—NOVUHAIR Topical Scalp Lotion helps prevent excessive hair loss, thinning hair and bald patches, and aids in stimulating hair growth. It seeps through the scalp and tress to help improve blood circulation, enhance overall appearance, maintain moisture, and aid nourishment and rejuvenation. This breakthrough product is proven safe and effective based on the clinical trial.
So instead of sticking to your regular shampoo that’s full of chemicals, why not try to be more natural through the NOVUHAIR 3-IN-1 Promo Pack.
