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.
