Perla’s brand ambassador TV Host , actress and singer Toni Gonzaga
Clothes sometimes tell the story of our lives. Real style is personal. Style is all about expressing your individuality freely, with confidence and courageously, a matter of being yourself on purpose. Make it simple, but significant.
Recently, Perla celebrates Filipinas fashionistas held the fashion show entitled Basics Redefined: The Perla Fashion Show, the event at The Block, SM North EDSA last August 25 featured 30 real-life Perla users who slayed the Perla all-white OOTD contest on Facebook and Instagram. The fashionista ladies proudly presents themselves with the stunning style with confidence.
Proudly Filipino brand, Perla is the first natural laundry soap brand in the Philippines. Proven, tested, and trusted over the years, Perla remains the number one choice of many Filipinas when it comes to maintaining delicate clothes
Using Perla for our clothes as been passed on through generations – from our grandmothers to our mothers, helping them take care of our clothes.
Many of Filipinas love the caring Perla experience and doing innovative creative actions to show millenial people uses stunning wears.
Today, many fashionable Filipinas are turning to basics to create standout looks. Monochromatic outfits are ail the rage in some of the top fashion capitals of the world – from New York to Milan, Tokyo to Paris – all-white looks dominate runways and walkways. This trend has now caught on here in our country, with fashionable Filipinas rocking the look everywhere.
And to help them take care of their basic whites, more and more Filipinas are turning to one trusted name – Perla.
Our clothes are not made equal. Some need special care. And Perla is the perfect partner in taking care of your special clothes such as whites as it is made with natural ingredients that keep your whites looking pristine and new while ensuring that your skin remains moisturized and not irritated. – Perla Brand Specialist Quiel Estrella
Perla is known for its gentle cleaning properties without the harsh and harmful ingredients. Perla is made from 50% pure coconut oil, which has strong antibacterial properties and contains lauric acid. As an excellent natural cleaning agent, lauric acid traps oil and dirt and makes it easy to wash away. Each bar of Perla also contains glycerins – a natural moisturizer that makes clothes much softer as well as our skin. Plus, it contains lavender extract, giving every wash a clean, fresh scent.
The Original White Perla soap (available in both long bars and cut bars) naturally and gently cleans your special clothes, officewear, sleepwear, underwear, baby clothes, and whites. It is also less abrasive compared with the other brands making our clothes last longer. It retains the credibility of colored clothes without compromising the strength of the fabrics even after several washes.
Because Perla gently whitens whites and removes dinginess naturally, there is no need for too strong laundry aids and products for clothes whitening!
We all know that laundry water is not the same everywhere. Hard water, like water from poso (artesian well) in the provinces, contains high levels of calcium and minerals that will lead to yellowing of your special whites. For your special whites, use Perla Original Blue (available in both long bars and cut bars). It is a pure soap made from coconut oil and has a natural blueing agent that counteracts yellowing so no need for bleach!
Since it is made from natural ingredients, Perla is also hypoallergenic to our skin so no need to worry about your loved ones getting allergies or rashes. But for more extra care on your delicate hands, you can use the Perla Papaya variant with papaya-extract (available only in cut bars).
Perla is made from pure coconut oil which is 100% biodegradable, making Perla environment-friendly and supportive of the local Coconut Oil industry.

“It’s so inspiring to see all these ladies, from all walks of life gathered in one place to celebrate fashion and timeless style,” Toni shared. “These women are mothers, students, and career women, and Perla took the time to pamper them, dress them, and glam them up. I’m so happy that they got to experience the level of Perla’s meticulous care, just like what I’ve enjoyed from Perla.”
From the thirty ladies who joined the fashion show, three winners were named who subsequently took home special prizes from Perla!

Globe Telecom, together with Hineleban Foundation, Inc., has launched an intensive drive to educate the public and raise awareness about the severe state of Philippine primary rainforests that only have 1.5% of its cover remaining.
Globe targets to raise at least P18 million by end of 2021 on top of the estimated P12 million already donated from proceeds of the company’s paperless billing campaign and internal fund-raising activities since December 2016. This time, the company is enjoining its partners and the public to participate in the reforestation drive. Globe has committed to donate P30 million within a 5-year period to cover 300 hectares of denuded primary rainforests in Bukidnon and Lanao del Sur.
Bukidnon is prioritized as the starting point for rainforestation in Mindanao since it hosts four main mountain ranges that serve as the watersheds for the island and where six major rivers emanate, providing the much-needed water for drinking, hydro power, and irrigation for agriculture food production. Together with two other mountain ranges in Lanao del Sur, these six mountain ranges are vital for food, water and energy security in Mindanao.
Thus, to show the current situation of primary rainforests not only in Mindanao but in the rest of the country, Globe and Hineleban came out with online videos that educate the people on the causes and effects of forest denudation, and ways on how they can help address the problem.
“This initiative is in line with our environmental sustainability policy designed to lessen the impact of our operations to the environment as well as promote environmental sustainability among our customers and stakeholders. It is also in support of the UN Sustainable Development Goals which seek to protect, restore and sustainably manage our forests to stop land degradation and biodiversity loss,” said Yoly Crisanto, Globe Chief Sustainability Officer and Senior Vice President for Corporate Communications.
She added: “We hope that these videos would serve as an eye-opener to many Filipinos and drive them to take action. We believe that through small, simple ways, anyone can contribute in preserving and protecting the environment including our rainforests.”
At present, almost nothing is left in the Philippines primary rainforest cover compared to about 70% over a century ago. This rapid decline is attributed primarily to widespread logging, rampant slash-and-burn practices, conversion of rainforests into farmlands, and the encroachment of human settlements in protected areas.
For instance, logging activities leading to forest denudation were reported as the cause of heavy flooding and mudslides that Mindanao experienced in December last year at the onslaught of back-to-back typhoons, prompting the government to stop all logging activities in the Zamboanga Peninsula. Without trees to absorb water from the soil, soil erosion as well as flooding usually occur during prolonged rainfall, causing danger to life and property.
On the other hand, during the dry season, there is a significant loss of rainfall and river water for irrigation across almost all of Mindanao resulting in an approximately 40% decrease in land productivity during a 30-year period. The National Irrigation Administration records showed a 75% decrease in the volume of river waters during the dry season over the last 30 years, thus, affecting crop cycles and food production.
Deforestation also leads to loss of clean drinking water from forest watersheds and to wildlife extinction due to the destruction of their natural habitat.
To help address the problem, Globe and Hineleban have started a drive to rebuild primary rainforests in Bukidnon and Lanao del Sur. This follows the rainforestation model methodology that comprises three major components: reforestation of denuded primary rainforest, food security and sustainable livelihood development.
Since taking care of the environment is the responsibility of everyone, Globe and Hineleban are encouraging the public to take part in the advocacy. Those who cannot physically plant a tree may have a tree planted on their name for a P100 donation. To do so, text (your name)<space>(number of trees to donate) to 2158-8733 (TREE). Interested parties may also visithttp://hineleban.org/donate for more payment channel options. Aside from donation, Globe has been urging the public to go digital via paperless billing to lessen their dependence on trees.
Beyond reforestation efforts, Hineleban and Globe have been working together since 2016 to tap local communities to become guardians of the rainforests. The land area, which is the focus of the foundation's reforestation program, engages more than 21 barangays and is home to the indigenous people of Bukidnon and Maranaos of Lanao del Sur.
This initiative is banked on three United Nations Sustainable Development Goals which promotes Life on Land, Climate Action, and Responsible Consumption and Production. As leader of digital lifestyle, Globe is anchoring its key initiatives on its four-point program: Care for the Environment, Care for our People, Positive Societal Impact, and Digital Nation.
The official trailer of the upcoming sexy romantic comedy film, The Hopeful Romantic has gone viral as it has reached a remarkable 9.6 million views on Facebook in less than three weeks since it was launched.
If anything, the virality of the trailer to organic Facebook users indicates a positive reception from netizens. As of today, the trailer has now reached 108,000 shares, 14,000 positive comments on Good Time Fan Page.
"Ayos 'yo ah, basta hindi gwapong aktor tapos ganito 'yung concept na movie, siguradong papatok."
"Mas gusto ko ganitong movie. Matatawa ka na maiiyak. Mas nakaka-inlove ang ganito at nakaka-excite!"
Starring theatre/TV/movie actor, Pepe Herrera and actress Ritz Azul, The Hopeful Romantic offers not just an entertaining love story, but also aims to impart an important lesson about love.
Ritz, who gets to be launched in this film as a leading lady, beams with pride about this project.
“Sobrang proud ako sa pelikulang ito kasi lahat pinaghirapan namin: ng direktor, producers, writers, at syempre co-actors ko na pinagpuyatan.
“Nakailang revisions kami para mapaganda ang story, para maihatid yung message ng story na may matutunan sila. Tsaka maganda ang storya, kapupulutan talaga siya ng aral.
The actress had to face a lot of challengers for this movie.
Firstly, Ritz, who is more comfortable with drama, ventures into comedy in The Hopeful Romantic.
Secondly, she had to lose weight to effectively portray her role as a sexy gold digger.
“Ang mahirap lang for me, physically, dapat medyo mukhang sexy don sa screen, so nag-struggle din ako to lose weight, kasi sobrang lumaki ako for a while before gawin yung movie.
“And then nahirapan ako kasi sobrang kabaligtaran ko ang role sa totoong buhay. Naging kumportable ako sa mga katrabaho ko, kaya napa-swimsuit ako."
Meantime, Pepe, who is a very talented singer-actor, finally gets to be a lead star in this film.
The versatile actor takes pride in saying that he gets to explore comedy genre through a sexy movie.
Pepe admits that he felt pressured that he would finally be a leading man in this project.
Fortunately, Ritz made his job easier for him.
"Ang masasabi ko po ay lalaki din ako at nakakaramdam ng karupukam. Si Ritz ay very desirable 110%."
“Kasi kinabahan ako nung una dahil sinasabihan ako, ‘Leading man ka na, kailangan tutukan mo yung panunuyo o kung paano tratuhin ang leading ladies.’ Parang siya [Ritz] pa yung gumagawa non para sa kin. Cowboy si Ritz. Hindi siya tipikal na leading lady.
“Sa shooting ka, sanay kasi siya na i-maximize yung oras. Walang nasasayang na oras.”
In the meantime, Ritz is happy to learn important lessons from Pepe as an actor.
“Sobrang gaan katrabaho ni Pepe. Sobrang professional. Tsaka parang nung nagsu-shoot kami, merong connection. Habang nandon kami sa characters naming, minsan kahit mata lang, nag-uusap na ganon.
“Sobrang ang pinakanatutunan ko sa kanya, hindi siya titigil sa take, kahit paulit-ulit pa yan para mapaganda yung scene,” she says.
In the Hopeless Romantic, Pepe plays Jess, a 33 year old Valet Parking Attendant at The Manila Hotel, an honest man and most of all, a virgin. He promised himself that he will only give himself when he already found his true love.
Veronica, (played by Ritz), is a kept woman in the high society world. A victim of circumstances, but still a survivor.
Jess meets Veronica at the hotel bar. Instantly, he gets mesmerized by her presence. One thing lead to another, and Veronica gave Jess the “first time”. Jess, believing in the magic of what happened between them, decides that Veronica is his one true love.
However, there is one problem; Veronica has no idea that he is not rich. Afraid that revealing himself will make him lose Veronica, Jess starts to pretend the part. He kept on doing this until his resources spill away. The inevitable happens, and Veronica learns the truth about Jess.
Tagged as the sexy comedian, The Hopeful Romantic is the first film of Pepe in a lead role.
The Hopeful Romantic opens September 12, 2018. The funniest romantic film of the season is directed by Topel Lee.
