• Kris believes that we all have dreams and we want to achieve it. But it takes a lot of hard work, passion and determination to make it happen.
• Names of the five lipstick shades also hold a message of empowerment for women
• “I mean others have brand collabs or have their own partners or investors pero with this one talaga, all by myself ang peg.”

Kris Bernal, the ‘Asawa Ko, Karibal Ko’ star, officially launched her lipstick line SHE Cosmetics in Taguig City on Thursday, as she wanted her brand to encourage women to work for their dreams.

“It speaks about women, I want it to be a representation of my story, of how I did it, of how I built SHE Cosmetics,” said Kris.

The words “SHE Cosmetics” symbolizes the hard work of a woman as she wants it to relate to all women who are trying to pursue their dreams and visions.

“So at first, naisip ko brand ko Kris B. Cosmetics but then pahirap ng pahirap ‘yong journey ko, naisip ko I want it to be relatable to women, women who have dreams, women who have strong visions and ‘yong mga girls na nafi-feel nilang ‘di nila kaya but then because you’re a girl, you’re a woman, you can do it. You got it girl!”

Kris believes that we all have dreams and we want to achieve it. But it takes a lot of hard work, passion and determination to make it happen.

“Alam ko maraming makaka-relate doon kasi lahat naman tayo may mga pangarap tayo, may mga gusto tayong ma-achieve sa buhay natin but then ‘yon nga andiyan ‘yong hard work, andiyan ‘yong passion, andiyan ‘yong determination mo, magagawa at magagawa mo rin ‘yon,” she said.

The names of the five lipstick shade also hold a message of empowerment for women. The lipstick names are She Lovin’ It (nude pink), Off She Goes (nude peach), So She-Ic (tangy cinnamon), Go Girl (fuschia pink) and She’s On Fire (bright red) and, still, she is open for suggestions.

Starting February to October, Kris Bernal is hands-on on her lipstick line, from the formula, production, and marketing up until the launch.

“Alam mo ‘pag tinignan mo ‘yong product ‘yang buong ‘yan ako talaga ‘yan eh, lahat ng nakikita niyong detalye, kahit nga itong launch ako nga nag-contact sa lahat ng tao dito lahat talaga trinabaho ko,” she said.

In formulating her own lipstick brand, she even suffers from allergy because of trying different kinds of lipsticks to find the perfect formula for her brand; and the manufacturers she tried “from our local suppliers, to Japan, US, and China.”

“May time na nagka-allergy na ako, sinusubukan ko siya from day to night ‘yong longevity niya kung matatanggal nga siya, ‘pag kumain ka ng oily food matatanggal siyempre ‘yong lipstick.”

As she was asked what makes her product different for the others, she said  she has worked for it alone. She said that unlike other brands that has their brand collaboration, partners or investors, Kris stated that she have done it all by herself.

“Tinatanong nga nila ako lagi what makes your product different sabi ko feel ko it’s because I did it all alone, ako lang talaga mag-isa I mean others have brand collabs or they have their own partners or investors pero with this one talaga all by myself ang peg,” she said.

SHE Cosmetics’ first lipstick line is a cushion matte liquid infused lip stick with nourishing and moisturizing ingredients like peppermint oil, Bulgarian rose, Rosehips, macadamia, and camellia.

In terms of doing business, Kris is open for reselling so her fans have opportunities in having a job.

“Gusto ko kasi mabigyan ng trabaho mga fans ko, so medyo dinagdagan ko siya ngayon P399 na siya kasi magkakaroon ako ng resellers  ‘yong mga fans ko kasi nagbebenta and gusto ko sila bigyan ng percentage for this, at the same time ang dami ring nag-iinquire ng reselling,” she said.

She graduated in Ateneo de Manila taking up European Studies in the year 2011 as her parent’s requirement before she embarks on a showbiz career. And by the following year, she decided to be in showbiz and have more focus in that direction.

Janine has an upcoming TV series on the Kapuso network, a fantasy-drama entitle ‘Dragon Lady’ with Tom Rodriguez, Joyce Ching, and Edgar Allan Guzman to be directed by Paul Sta. Ana.

• Super Tekla’s emotional story from poverty to showbusiness
• Tekla’s success in his career
• Tekla’s big break from ‘Wowowin’ to starring in his own show

Super Tekla became emotional when telling about his backstory and his journey from the mountains of Cotabato to his success in showbusiness.

“Bata palang ako, ayaw ko nang madilim … Gusto ko, nung bata ako, makakakita ako ng ilaw, makakakita ako ng sasakyan kasi nasa bundok po talaga kami, out of civilization. Hindi po naabot ng kuryente, ilang ilog ang tinatawid namin. Umiiyak po ako. Kaya nung high school ako, lumabas na ako, bumaba ako ng bundok at sa city na ako tumira,” related Tekla, Romeo Librada in real life.

A loving husband and father, he tried his luck in Manila to bring his family out of poverty.

“Nung comedy bar days ko, doon medyo okay naman, may kita. Pero ako, hindi nag-sink in sa utak ko na, dito, may chance ako sa showbiz. Bumagsak ako sa comedy bar dahil nagkaroon ako ng isang napakabigat na depresyon sa life ko. Dumating ako sa puntong natutulog na ako sa kalsada kasi wala akong shelter, wala akong lahat.”

He also told of his story when he had his big break in the Will of Fortune show and his hesitation to join because of fear, but which he later accepted.

“Siguro doon talaga ako nabe-belong and then suddenly, nangangailangan si Kuya Wil ng komedyante. Okay, so naghahanap siya ng karakter na bakla. Eh hindi naman ako bakla. Karakter, nakakatawa. Apat na beses ko atang ini-snob si Kuya Wil sa show na ‘yun. Ayaw kong tanggapin yung offer, kasi, unang-una, natatakot ako sa kanya pero nung panlima, wala na akong magawa kasi pina-search, pinahanap talaga ako.”

According to him, despite everything that had happened (referring to his controversy in Wowowin), he is thankful to the GMA Network for their thrust and support.

“E, sila yung unang nagtiwala sa akin, sila yung unang nagbigay sa akin ng chance, kasi gusto ko talagang mag-artista. Hindi ako actually sa GMA agad nag-audition, nag-audition din ako sa iba, pero GMA ang tumanggap sa akin so bakit ako aalis, e, sila yung nagtiwala sa akin?”

• Martin del Rosario answers questions regarding his sexuality.
• He said that he doesn’t mind anymore because he has been asked about it for a very long time now
  

Born Beautiful star Martin del Rosario once again addressed a question regarding his sexuality.

“Gusto ninyo akong subukan,” he answered when a member of the press asked him the controversial query during the press conference of the movie Barbs, where he plays the role of a transgender.

He also countered that he doesn’t mind the question anymore as he has been asked if he was gay for the past 10 years now.

“Wala, okay lang. Actually, sige, pag-usapan niyo pa. Parang okay nga, eh…

“Kasi… buti sana kung nag-e-exert din ako ng effort na patulan at sagutin. Pero ngayon kasi, ilang beses ko nang nasagot, so ayoko nang sagutin pa, paulit-ulit. I mean, ilang beses ko nang nasagot, ten years na …

Wala naman akong kailangang sagutin.”

Del Rosario added that he respects the opinion of others, but what’s more important is that he knows himself better.

“So, opinion nila yun and ako… ako yung taong hindi pikon. Kung ano yung opinyon mo, kung saan ka masaya, e, di go.

“Kung pangit ako, pangit ugali ko, e, di, okay lang. Tingin mo ‘yan. Basta ako, I know myself. So, yun yung mas importante.”

• Martin del Rosario addressed a question in relation to his sexuality.
• He said that he doesn’t really need to answer anything.

Martin del Rosario expressed that he found the sexuality related questions quite repetitive.

It seems like people have been questioning his orientation ever since he started showbiz, which was 10 years ago.

And with that, he doesn’t get affected by it anymore.

At the press conference of his upcoming movie Born Beautiful, wherein he’ll play as transgender woman, the question appeared once again.

“Wala, okay lang. Actually, sige, pag-usapan niyo pa. Parang okay nga, eh…”

“Actually, kahit magkaiba ang career paths namin ngayon ni Maine as we’re on our own, mas close kami ngayon as friends at mas open sa isa’t isa. We are growing individually, on our own. But we really appreciate the fans of our love team who continue to support us and root for us and request na magkasama kami uli sa isang teleserye or movie.”

Ogie also shared his fearless forecast regarding the MMFF entries.

“Obvious namang topgrosser na naman ang pelikula ni Vice Ganda, ‘yung “Fantastika. Followed by “Puliscredibles” nina Vic Sotto at Coco Martin, then tie ‘yung “Aurora” ni Anne Curtis at “Rainbow Sunset, then “Orange Dress” nina Jericho at Jessy Mendiola. Hanggang du’n na lang muna at nakalimutan kong hindi naman ako si Madame Auring. Wala bang entry ang Ms. Valenzuela?”

He then gave advice to the godparents who hid from their godchildren this Holiday season, saying that instead of not showing themselves, they should just tell the truth.

“So kung wala kang pambigay na regalo o aginaldo, sabihin mo ang totoo kesa takasan mo. Kung malalaki na ang mga inaanak mo, i-tag mo sa post mo sa fb na pasensiya na at walang-wala si ninong. ‘Yan ay kung mapapaniwala mo sila sa paeklat mo.

“Maging totoo na lang, kesa mangutang ka para lang magpabida sa mga inaanak mo. Pangakuan mo na lang na magreregalo ka sa birthday niya, tutal, hindi naman magkaka-birthday ang mga inaanak mo. Kung walang-wala, magpakatotoo. Kung meron, ‘wag magdamot. Hindi naman araw-araw ang Pasko.”

He also admitted that he, too, has a lot of godchildren then shared circumstances that he faced in the past regarding the giving of gifts.

“Diyos ko, sobra. ‘Yung iba, binigyan mo na, tapos, ‘yung magulang, sasabihin, ‘Pare, baka pwede mo namang dagdagan, minsan lang naman ang Pasko.’ Sinasagot ko ng, ‘Pare, hindi ikaw ang inaanak ko… ‘yung anak mo.’

“Meron pang eksena, ‘Pare, baka pwede mong dagdagan, magmo-mall pa kami ng inaanak mo.’ Sasagutin ko ng, ;Ah, gano’n ba? O, sige, bawasan mo ng 3k ‘yung utang mo sa akin.’ Di ba, nakakalokah? As if ‘yung anak lang nila ang kaisa-isa mong inaanak na umaasa sa ‘yo ng aginaldo?

“Kaya ako, dumating na talaga ako sa point na pag hindi ko ka-close ‘yung kumukuha sa aking ninong sa binyag ng anak nila, sinasabi ko, ‘Kelan lang naman tayo nagkakilala. Saka na, sa next na anak mo na lang. By then siguro, close na tayo.'”
