Aspiring MVP Bossing Glenda Victorio of Brilliant Skin Essentials rises from crisis and thrives



Wazzup Pilipinas!

PLDT Enterprise recently launched its MVP Bossing campaign, built on the vision to celebrate accomplished entrepreneurs, highlighting success stories, and inspiring fellow entrepreneurs with business models worth emulating.

The global health pandemic saw most business industries pivot and strengthen their digital landscape. The campaign with the theme Rediscovery, Reinvention aims to convey a message of hope, to recognize and appreciate local entrepreneurs who took on the challenges their businesses faced, with a vision to successfully thrive in the future.

Aspiring MVP Bossing Glenda Victorio, the young CEO of Brilliant Skin Essentials, has had many learnings brought about by the pandemic. They had to do major adjustments in order to continue their operations and manage their business, a beauty and cosmetics skin care brand known for its whitening, anti-aging, and anti-acne products. 
.


A mother of two boys, Victorio realized during the pandemic that not everything is permanent. “With over 500 employees in Brilliant Skin Essentials, I felt responsible for each one of them. Suddenly, it was not sales I was concerned with, but with the lives of each one of my employees.”

She knew then that putting up her business did not only mean working for herself and her family, but also for her many loyal employees and their families. Being a good leader and boss had to prevail. With the onset of the lockdown, there was still the need to continue operations to ensure that her employees continued making a living.

Everything went to a halt however, when she was diagnosed with COVID-19 in July last year. To make matters worse, her husband and two young boys were also found to be COVID-positive, together with other family members, and some of her employees. Her business operations were greatly affected, with the factory plant closing for two weeks.

“It was an ordeal I wish I did not have to go through. But I guess God was testing me, reminding me of what my priorities should be. With COVID, there was no rich or poor, young or old. Anyone can get it, and you then take stock of life,” Glenda recalls.

With her full recovery after her hospital stay, along with her family members and employees, she put in place the strictest work protocols, reminding her employees of the importance of teamwork to thrive, and of remaining healthy at all times. Being humble is also a plus, because she then knew that nothing is permanent and may be taken away in an instant.

Jovy Hernandez, ePLDT President & CEO and SVP & Head for PLDT and Smart Enterprise Business Groups, admires the resolve of Ms. Victorio in keeping her business afloat. “We at PLDT Enterprise celebrate exemplary work and recognize business leaders who set the bar and equip others with the heart and the mind to continue whatever crisis they are faced with. As young as Ms. Victorio is, she shows true leadership, mindful of her family and her employees, prioritizing everyone’s health and safety while continuing to serve her countless customers.”

Brilliant Skin Essentials currently has more than 700 distributors and over 40 franchisees, proving that the four-year old skin care company, although faced with extreme challenges during the pandemic, is committed to provide jobs to many people, as Glenda Victorio continues to put her heart, mind, and soul in running her business.

Lito Adiwang Fights in Honor of Late Mother, Determined to Bounce Back in 2021



Wazzup Pilipinas!

Team Lakay upstart Lito “Thunder Kid” Adiwang had a rough start to the year, as the 27-year-old from Baguio City, Philippines recently lost his mother Leticia, who has suffered multiple strokes since 2016. She passed away on 30 December, just before a tumultuous year ended for Adiwang.

“There is nothing a mother wants more than to see her child happy and successful. I know my mother loved me so much, and she just really didn’t want me to get hurt, which is why she didn’t fully accept me being a fighter with her whole heart,” said Adiwang.

“But I chose this career, and I believe she was happy to see me succeed in what I love to do. I know in my heart she is proud of me, and I will continue to live my life in her honor.”


Members of Team Lakay rushed to Adiwang’s aid, to show their support. The team, along with head coach Mark Sangiao, convened in the first few days of 2021, to attend the funeral service. After his mother was laid to rest, Adiwang expressed his intent to turn the year around.

“My teammates have always been there for me. They’ve supported me through the hardest times. They are like family to me. I am very lucky to have a good support system,” said Adiwang.

“Nothing has changed in my mindset. The goal remains the same for me. I’m climbing to the top. If anything, I just got more motivated and driven. I want to prove myself in this next fight, and to do that, I have to be at my best.”


Adiwang is scheduled to make his return to the ONE Circle at ONE: UNBREAKABLE, scheduled for Friday, 22 January in Singapore. It’s his first fight back since losing a close split decision to Japan’s Hiroba Minowa in November.

Adiwang maintains that the experiences he’s gone through in the past few months have only made him stronger.

“I am more motivated now than ever to achieve my goals, and apply the lessons I learned in 2020, especially. I know the pressure is on, and I can feel the pressure. I know I have to prove myself to the world again, to earn the people’s trust. I’m working on coming back stronger than ever,” said Adiwang.

“I think everything happens for a reason. My setbacks today will be what makes me a better fighter for tomorrow. All the hard work I’m putting in will pay off in God’s perfect time. I just want to thank everyone for their support in my darkest hour. The race has just begun for me, but I promise to finish strong.”


ONE: UNBREAKABLE is ONE Championship’s first live event in 2021. The main event features a ONE Super Series showdown between ONE Bantamweight Kickboxing World Champion Alaverdi “Babyface Killer” Ramazanov of Russia, who defends his world title against #2-ranked bantamweight kickboxing contender Capitan Petchyindee Academy of Thailand.
