Sayang Ka? No, I’m Worth It.”: A Bold New Video that Redefines Self-Worth and Confidence

A powerful new film entitled “Sayang Ka? No, I’m Worth It.” is sparking conversation and inspiring viewers to challenge long-held beliefs about success, timelines, and personal value. The film, now available on YouTube, TikTok and Facebook pages of L’Oreal Paris Philippines, delivers a message that resonates deeply in today’s culture that one’s worth is not defined by others’ opinions or expectations.

Produced by L’Oreal Philippines in collaboration with Pulse and LitLab Studios, the video captures the raw emotion of hearing the phrase “Sayang ka” a familiar Filipino expression that loosely translates to “What a waste.” It confronts this judgment head-on and turns it into an empowering declaration: “No, I’m worth it.” With compelling visuals, an emotive narrative, and a message of authenticity, the short film invites viewers to reclaim their self-worth and define success on their own terms.

More than just a reflection of Filipino sentiment, “Sayang Ka? No, I’m Worth It.” carries a universal truth. It speaks to anyone who has ever been told they are not enough, who has struggled to meet the expectations of others, or who has felt the pressure to conform. The video’s emotional tone, paired with its sleek and modern production, makes it a timely addition to the lifestyle and culture landscape especially as audiences continue to seek content that uplifts, empowers, and reflects genuine human experiences.

For Janella Salvador, the campaign resonates with her personal journey. “People have said, ‘Sayang, ang bata mo pa, nagka-anak ka na agad.’ But I’ve learned that being a mother doesn’t lessen my worth it deepens it,” she shares. “This campaign reminds women like me that every choice we make, every chapter we live, adds to who we are. There’s no such thing as ‘sayang’ when you’re living your truth.”

KaladKaren, known for her authenticity and advocacy, echoes this sentiment. “I’ve heard it so many times ‘Sayang ka, trans ka. Sayang, ang ganda mo pa naman.’ But there’s nothing to be wasted in being who I am,” she says. “My truth is my power. And that’s what this campaign is all about turning judgment into pride, and saying with confidence, ‘No, I’m worth it.’”

For Pia Wurtzbach-Jauncey, the message feels both personal and universal. “When I got married, people would say, ‘Sayang, puro ka trabaho tapos nag-asawa ka pa.’ But happiness doesn’t have just one formula,” she explains. “Whether it’s work, love, or self-growth every decision we make for ourselves is valid. Knowing your worth means owning your story, not apologizing for it.”

Beyond its visual appeal, the film’s message is deeply relevant to conversations about self-confidence and identity. It calls viewers to look inward, to recognize their own strength, and to celebrate the process of becoming. By rejecting the notion of “sayang” and embracing self-assurance, it challenges social norms and opens the door for a broader dialogue on what it truly means to live meaningfully and authentically.

The video is now streaming on YouTube and viewers are invited to watch and share the video, available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2DXYLVykdY.

By amplifying this message, we invite everyone to join a movement that celebrates self-worth, resilience, and confidence and to help spread a message that says, proudly and without hesitation: “No, I’m worth it.”

Aveeno® Marks Eczema Awareness Month with Call to Support Sensitive Skin Confidence

In case you missed it, October marks Eczema Awareness Month. This year, Aveeno®, the dermatologist-recommended skincare brand, stands with Filipinos managing the challenges of sensitive skin. For many, eczema is more than dry, itchy patches—it’s a condition that impacts comfort, confidence, and everyday well-being.

Aveeno®, with 80 years of clinical evidence for the benefits of oat on sensitive skin, is using this month to spotlight both the physical and emotional challenges of eczema while offering solutions grounded in empathy and clinical science. Through its impactful #SensitiveSkinWontStopUs campaign, Aveeno® reframes Eczema Awareness Month as a movement for resilience, education, and empowerment, inspiring individuals to embrace a life without limits. The campaign was initially launched during an event that featured sensitive skin sufferers sharing their own real life sensitive skin stories, and was amplified online through a TikTok hashtag challenge, encouraging sensitive skin sufferers to share their own experiences.

“Eczema is not only a skin condition; it’s a journey that can challenge one’s confidence and limit daily experiences,” says Ira Santos, Marketing Manager for Aveeno®. “Through our clinically proven oat science and the #SensitiveSkinWontStopUs campaign, we aim to foster a community where sensitive skin is understood, supported, and never a barrier to living fully. We are proud to highlight everything we’ve accomplished with this campaign, wrapping it all together to draw attention to the importance of Eczema Awareness Month.”

Further solidifying its expert-backed approach, Aveeno® is proud to announce that its Aveeno® Dermexa line is now recognized as the #1 most prescribed product for dermatitis by dermatologists. Formulated with Triple Oat Complex and Ceramides is specifically designed for very dry, itchy, and eczema-prone skin. It is clinically proven to relieve itchy sensations immediately, restore the skin barrier in as fast as 3 days, and deliver 24-hour hydration to help prevent flare-ups.

Board-certified dermatologist, Dr. Mabelle Colayco, MD, FPDS, a fellow of the Philippine Dermatological Society (PDS), emphasizes the importance of Aveeno®‘s approach, “Effective eczema management hinges on strengthening the skin barrier with scientifically backed ingredients like colloidal oatmeal and ceramides. By consistently using products that support this, individuals can significantly reduce flare-ups, improve their skin health, and ultimately, enhance their overall quality of life, allowing them to pursue their passions unhindered.” Dr. Colayco’s insights were also shared during the Watsons Derm Skin activation, a partnership between Watsons and PDS, where Aveeno® was a featured brand.

This Eczema Awareness Month, Aveeno® amplifies the voices of Filipinos who embody resilience. Celebrity mom Coleen Garcia, fitness creator Vince Velasco, and beauty content creator Enzo Villacorta share their compelling personal journeys, demonstrating how they navigate flare-ups while thriving in their personal and professional lives, inspiring others to do the same.

Enzo Villacorta, a key voice in the #SensitiveSkinWontStopUs campaign, shares his inspiring journey: “My sensitive skin journey started when I was around 20 years old. I ignored the signs at first, until my situation started to get really bad. I had rashes on my body, raw patches, and flaky skin. I don’t even have much pictures of this time because of how much I hated it. And being ashamed of my skin is what made me feel alone with what I was going through… I personally use the Skin Relief line for everyday management, and I also use the Dermexa Wash and Lotion on days when skin is really going through it. I’m not saying that these body lotions will make your eczema go away, but it does make it so much easier to manage. Having sensitive skin is normal, and something this common should never hold us back. It should never put a stop to your daily life.”

Beyond targeted care for eczema-prone skin, Aveeno® offers a comprehensive regimen for everyday sensitive skin management. Aveeno® Skin Relief is formulated with Triple Oat Complex to soothe and protect dry, itchy, and sensitive skin in as fast as 20 seconds. It provides long-lasting hydration while strengthening the skin’s natural barrier, helping reduce dryness and discomfort caused by daily triggers like weather, sweat, or stress. On the other hand, Aveeno® Calm + Restore features naturally derived ingredients like prebiotic oat and calming feverfew, provides a gentle solution to soothe dryness, calm irritation, and maintain a healthy skin barrier on the face, ensuring continuous comfort and protection. 

Join the conversation and share your story using the hashtag #SensitiveSkinWontStopUs #EczemaAwarenesswithAveeno and connect with the Aveeno® community on social media. Aveeno® products are available at Watsons stores nationwide and on official e-commerce shops, Lazada, Shopee and TikTok.

#SensitiveSkinWontStopUs: Aveeno Celebrates Real Filipino Journeys

Aveeno brings to light the anecdotes and messages of its community through the Aveeno Sensitive Skin Stories—a collection of testimonies from its ambassadors and skincare enthusiasts. They share their personal skincare journeys, highlighting how Aveeno—powered by the science of oat—has helped them care for their sensitive skin with confidence and comfort.

 

Sensitive skin affects approximately 7 in 10 Filipinos, yet it remains an often-overlooked and under-discussed concern in everyday conversations. Aveeno is the pioneer when it comes to sensitive skin care solutions backed by oat science, backed by over 75 years of research and experience. Following changes in lifestyles and informed by skincare trends, Aveeno continues to develop products for the face and body that nourishes the skin, enhances its natural barrier, and protects it from pollutants. 

Aveeno’s commitment doesn’t stop there. Aveeno also fosters a community in understanding the needs of those with sensitive skin. Aveeno’s #SensitiveSkinWontStopUs campaign highlights how Aveeno plays a crucial role in the lives of those with sensitive skin and how their clinically proven solutions empower them to live confidently and comfortably. More than just a campaign, #SensitiveSkinWontStopUs is a movement that inspires meaningful conversations and empowers Filipinos to embrace their skin, including its flaws, flare-ups, and unique needs. It creates a safe and supportive space for individuals with sensitive skin to share their journeys and connect with others who face similar experiences. By encouraging open dialogue, it helps dispel common skincare myths and reinforces Aveeno’s commitment to setting the standard in sensitive skin care, delivering solutions that truly support and empower those affected.

During Aveeno’s Sensitive Skin Stories campaign launch event last June 5, there was an empowering and interactive gallery that placed a spotlight on vulnerable anecdotes and sentiments from sensitive skin sufferers. Selected press and influencers immersed themselves in the gallery-style presentations that talked about how sensitive skin—and skincare—can be an emotional journey of self-discovery underlined by the hashtag #SensitiveSkinWontStopUs. 

Aveeno Sensitive Skin Stories also featured a program with key speakers—athlete and international host, Vince Velasco and certified color analyst, Enzo Villacorta—both of whom have lived with eczema since childhood. 

Vince shared his personal journey, recounting how living with eczema led to bullying during his younger years. Despite the challenges, he found strength and resilience as Aveeno has been a dependable partner in managing his skin while keeping up with the demands of his fast-paced lifestyle.

Meanwhile, Enzo opened up about how eczema affected his self-esteem and made him increasingly self-conscious. Through his experience, he discovered that caring for sensitive skin doesn’t have to be complicated. With Aveeno, he found an effective yet fuss-free skincare solution that helped him feel confident and comfortable in his own skin.

 Ira Santos, Marketing Manager of Aveeno also joined the program. She shares, “At Aveeno, we believe sensitive skin shouldn’t hold anyone back. Whether you’re pushing limits as an athlete, juggling family life, pursuing your passion, or chasing deadlines at work — your skin should never be a reason to stay on the sidelines.” More than just the power of nature and oat science, Aveeno pushes through with reclaiming one’s story as she explains, “That’s the spirit behind our new campaign: #SensitiveSkinWontStopUs. This movement is about empowering people to move stronger, live fully, and wear their skin with pride — no matter their skin story.” Dermatologist, Dr. Paula Carait, furthered their insights on Aveeno’s benefits and other tips on how to care for your skin through debunking the myth that skin is considered not sensitive if it is not dry or flaky. She explained, “ The absence of dryness or flaking does not rule out skin sensitivity. Sensitive skin can present as burning, stinging, or itching—even in well-hydrated skin. Formulations containing scientifically supported ingredients like oat can help restore the barrier, reduce reactivity, and promote overall skin comfort.”

As a mom of three, two with atopic dermatitis, Isabel Lacson-Ruiz, Senior Marketing Manager of Kenvue Philippines, shared her personal journey. With the campaign backed by professionals who’ve faced similar challenges, she emphasized, “…this campaign is about celebrating sensitivity despite the challenges that come with it—not holding back and believing aspirations can come to life.”

Community is at the heart of Aveeno Sensitive Skin Stories. It is a shared movement and holding space for people and their skin concerns. It is where Aveeno meets like-minded loyalists for an ongoing conversation and insights about skincare.

Skincare Favorite CeraVe Officially Launches in the Philippines — Here’s Where to Get It

CeraVe, the #1 Dermatologist-Recommended Skincare Brand in the US, has finally launched in the Philippines. With its availability in major health and beauty retailers and online through their official Shopee store, the brand makes its whole line of products now more accessible to Filipinos.

What are CeraVe products made up of?

Many dermatological skin concerns are associated with a decreased level of Ceramides in the skin, and to address this, a dedicated panel of board-certified dermatologists developed a groundbreaking technology. This contains human skin-identical Ceramides 1, 3, and 6-II together with fatty acids and other lipids, enhanced with a delivery system called MultiVesicular Emulsion Technology (MVE).

Ceramides are lipids (oils) that are naturally found in the skin, and are essential in supporting the skin barrier and retaining moisture. Without this, skin can become dry, itchy, or irritated. On the other hand, the MVE Technology found in CeraVe’s products helps provide long-lasting hydration as it holds a structure of time-released spheres that provides multiple phases of moisturization as compared to a quick one-time release, allowing the essential ingredients to be released into the skin slowly.

To put it simply, the make up of Ceramides and MVE Technology within CeraVe products allows for up to 24-hour moisture and protection with no unnecessary scent. Because it’s developed with dermatologists, CeraVe products therapeutically protect and restore the skin’s natural barrier.

What can Filipinos look forward to?

In its much-awaited official arrival in the Philippines, CeraVe has made its full roster of products widely accessible to Filipino skincare enthusiasts with affordable price points starting at PHP 350.00. CeraVe products can be found in the following major retailers: Watsons, SM Beauty, LOOK, Mercury Drug and Southstar Drug. Online, interested consumers can browse and purchase through the CeraVe Official Store on its official store on Shopee.

Following its official launch, CeraVe will be opening pop-up stores nationwide including LOOK SM Aura and SM Mall of Asia, Watsons Mall of Asia and SM Megamall, and more, so be sure to watch out for what’s coming up in the next few weeks! Don’t miss out on exciting pop-ups and other brand initiatives.

Sculpt, Tone, Glow: My Experience with Endospheres at Marie France

A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of attending the launch of Marie France’s Endospheres at the Electric Garden in BGC—and it truly was a unique and thoughtfully curated experience. The event blended wellness, creativity, and beauty in such an effortless way. We kicked things off with a lovely photo session with the talented Belle (@belledinglasa on IG), followed by some vision board making, which allowed us to reflect and set intentions. There was also a charming flower bar where we got to pick our own blooms and place them in vases—a sweet personal touch that added to the feel-good energy of the day.

So what exactly is Endospheres? It’s a non-invasive body treatment  that uses compressive microvibration technology that tackle stubborn fat and firm up muscles—all without a single incision. It sounds high-tech—and it is—but the overall experience is meant to be soothing and therapeutic. It’s essentially a full-body wellness treatment that combines science and aesthetics.

After seeing it in action, I booked a session at the Marie France branch in Salcedo Village, Makati. The space was serene and professional, with staff who took the time to explain how the treatment works and what to expect. My session lasted about an hour and a half, and it focused on my legs, arms, and midsection.

During the treatment, a handpiece with rotating spheres was rolled across my body in rhythmic, wave-like motions. It felt like a deep tissue massage—but more consistent and mechanical. There was a steady sense of pressure and pulsing, but it wasn’t painful at all. In fact, it was quite relaxing, and I found myself almost dozing off midway through. Though I have to admit, some parts—especially around the thighs—were a little ticklish for me! It definitely made me giggle a bit, but overall, the sensation was soothing and oddly satisfying.

Here’s what Endospheres does in a nutshell:

  • Lymphatic Drainage Massage: Bye-bye, bloating. This treatment helps your body flush out toxins and excess water, leaving you feeling lighter and more contoured.
  • Muscle Toning: It’s like a workout without breaking a sweat. Your muscles get activated, helping you improve circulation and tone.
  • Fat Blasting Power: The therapy doesn’t just skim the surface—it dives deep, targeting those stubborn fat pockets that never seem to budge, and helps sculpt your body in a healthy, sustainable way.
  • Pain Relief: Got sore muscles from your last spin class? This therapy doubles as a recovery tool.
  • Boosted Circulation: Better blood flow means healthier skin and that post-facial glow—but for your whole body.
