Ushering in the brand’s new chapter, Rhea expressed her gratitude to the visibly radiant Vice and Ion during the contract signing. The CEO stated, “We are grateful to enter an exciting era with Ion, whose authenticity shines wherever he goes, and a truly phenomenal era with Vice, whose sincerity breaks through her superstar status. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for believing in us and welcoming our brand into your hearts.”
How important is self-care for Ion?
“Unang una, nasa probinsya pa lang ako, active na ako. Ngayon, ‘yun din ginagawa ko. Ang healthcare, para sa akin, isa sa mga priority ko ‘yan, nakadugtong na ‘yan sa buhay ko. Hindi lilipas ang araw na hindi ako active, siyempre kailangan sa trabaho namin na pangalagaan ‘yung pangangatawan namin, dapat laging maging malakas, hindi pabaya,” Ion shares.
How influential is Ion to Vice in terms of healthcare?
“Ang laki, kasi nga I have been unhealthy. My lifestyle is so unhealthy. I sleep so late, I used to eat unhealthy food, I used to stress myself, I used to overwork myself, sobrang unhealthy talaga siya. Pero nung dumating siya, nakikita niya ginagawa ko sa mundo ko, sa sarili ko, sa kalusugan ko, and he was so sincerely concerned about it. So, kinakausap niya ako. Ako ‘yung nahihiya kasi nakikita ko siya kung paano siya kumain, kung ano ang kinakain niya. Nung simula, pinapanood ko lang siya pero I admired him since then, pero hindi ko naman siya sinasabayan hanggang sa umabot na siya na sinabihan na ako na kailangan ko nang itigil ang ginagawa ko, itigil ko na ang pagkain ng sobrang baboy, sobrang mamantika, sobrang prito, ang lakas ko magkanin. Tapos, he brought me to the gym. Ine-encourage niya talaga ako sa mga physical activities. Di niya lang ako na-convince mag-bike. He has always been reminding me to take care of myself because it is a fact that we are not getting younger. Every single day, tumatanda tayo nang tumatanda. ‘Yung panahon at edad natin pero may paraan para mapanatili nating malusog at maganda ang sarili natin. Sobra niyang vain. Probinsyano siya pero alam niya ang gagawin para pangalagaan ang sarili niya. Malinis siya sa katawan, malusog siya. Kung ‘yung partner mo ganun, nakikita mo at ang ganda-ganda ng epekto sa kanya, lalo pa sa edad namin, mas matanda ako sa kanya nang very light, so ayoko naman maging evident ‘yun na kapag nakikita kaming dalawa, mukha kaming magtyahin. Hindi naman lahat nadadaan sa makeup, ibang bagay pa din talaga kapag malusog ang katawan mo at malusog ang kalooban mo at masaya ang puso mo. ‘Yun naman ang impluwensyang binigay niya sa akin – binigyan niya ng kapayapaan ang puso ko at ‘yun ang lalong nakapagpabata sa akin,” Vice Ganda answers.
What made Beautederm’s Ms. Rei get Vice Ganda and Ion Perez as Belle Dolls’ newest ambassadors?
“Kaya pinili ko si Vice and si Ion, gaya ni Ion, mahilig siya sa sports, pinipili ang pagkain, ganun din kasi ako. Kaya sila ang right people na maging ambassadors natin, kasi gaya ko, I’m turning 45 and I’m 99 pounds. Let’s walk the talk. Kailangan maging healthy tayo kasi paano natin pangangalagaan ang ibang tao kung sarili natin, hindi natin maalagaan. Tsaka health conscious kami since nasa 40s na, hindi na kami nagsu-sugar, kaya saktong sakto ang Belle Dolls para sa tulad namin na kapag nakita ka ng ibang tao, gaya ng sabi ni Vice na, kinikilig ako nung sinabi niya na ‘of course, I know Beautederm, kasi si Darla gumanda!” Ms. Rei shares.
“Kasi si Lorna Tolentino din, sabi ko sa kanya, ‘Ang ganda ganda ng mukha mo, hindi ka tumatanda,’ tapos sinabi niya sa akin na Beautederm. Kaya ever since alam ko ‘yung Beautederm,” Vice Ganda adds.
When asked what is the definition of phenomenal, Vice says, “for me ang pagiging phenomenal is to be able to be there and still be there tomorrow, just like tomorrow.”
Ms. Rei recounted how her collaboration with the Phenomenal Unkabogable Superstar began, sharing, “Though Vice has only recently signed on as our ambassador, we have already been supporting her for three years, including our support for her scholarship projects for underprivileged students. Since then, we’ve always thought she’d be a great fit for the brand because of what she does for others.”
Then Vice and Ion both expressed their appreciation to Tan, whose company not only improves skin but also changes people’s lives through charitable initiatives.
“We believe Vice and Ion perfectly represent our Belle Dolls brand. They exude confidence and motivate others to accomplish great things. Aside from their positive influence, what we admire about them is their authenticity, both with and without cameras. Finally, Vice and Ion prioritize their health,” Tan pointed out.
Vice officially endorses Beauté Secret Stem Cell Juice Drink and Beauté Secret Collagen Juice Drink, both of which include high-quality, nutritious ingredients that promote a healthy gut, enhance skin, promote healthy nails, boost mental clarity, and improve general wellness.
Ion, on the other hand, promotes Beauté Secret Black Coffee (Decaf) and Beauté Secret Healthy Coffee (Caramel Macchiato), both of which are free of toxic ingredients, sweetened with natural stevia, and enhance energy, gut health, and skin health.
The Belle Dolls brand, renowned for its premium ingredients and positive feedback, aims to encourage more Filipinos to prioritize their health and make informed product choices. Belle Dolls can be found on TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook. Both online and in-store, their products can be found throughout the country.
