Where Beauty Meets Science: Experts Tackle Their Brightest Chapter with MyColla C

Tweet

Entering your 30s can feel like the start of a more intentional chapter. It is the stage when many women begin listening to their bodies with more care, choosing routines with more purpose, and looking for wellness habits that support how they want to feel each day.

That conversation was brought to life at My Brightest Chapter, the recent MyColla C launch event that gathered beauty, science, and lifestyle voices to help women better understand collagen, skin wellness, and the daily choices that support confidence from within.

Beauty, Science, and Collagen Conversations

At the heart of the launch was the talk segment, where guests heard expert insights on collagen, aging, and skin health in a way that felt practical, not intimidating.

The science-centered discussion featured Dr. Maika S. Slatensek, who helped explain what collagen does in the body, how collagen production changes over time, and why women may begin to pay closer attention to skin firmness, hydration, and radiance as they enter new life stages. “Collagen helps support the structure of the skin. As the body matures, natural collagen production changes. For many women, this can show through skin that feels less firm, looks dull, or needs more support than before,” said Dr. Slatensek. She framed collagen as part of a daily wellness rhythm, not a one-step answer.

Dr. Slatensek also discussed Marine Collagen, the main ingredient in MyColla C, as one of the sources women may encounter when exploring wellness supplements. “Marine Collagen is a familiar option in skin wellness because it is commonly used in products made for daily beauty support. It is sourced from fish and is often associated with Type I collagen, the type closely linked to skin’s structure. When hydrolyzed, it is broken down into smaller peptides, making it easier to include in a daily routine.” The doctor also stressed the importance of choosing an approach that fits one’s lifestyle as well as pairing it with the right nutrients and being consistent with long-term care.

Meanwhile, the role of Vitamin C was one of the key points in the discussion. It’s an important nutrient in conversations about skin structure and renewal as it is an integral part of the collagen-building process. Dr. Slatensek added: “Vitamin C is involved in collagen synthesis. That is why the conversation should go beyond collagen intake alone. We need to understand how nutrients work together in the body.”

The talk segment moved from science to real life with lifestyle content creators Jackie Go and Apple Mendoza, who shared insights on confidence, self-care, and stepping into new chapters with more ease. Go, a digital creator and lifestyle maven known for championing intentional living and motherhood, brought a grounded perspective on caring for oneself while moving through different roles. Mendoza, a host, real estate professional, and creative content creator who balances career, passion, and personal growth, added her own reflections on showing up with confidence through change.

Their participation gave the discussion a personal lens, especially for women balancing work, family, wellness, and the desire to feel good in their own skin.

Inside My Brightest Chapter

Beyond the panel, the event was designed as a celebration of womanhood, confidence, wellness, and connection, giving guests a place to reflect, learn, and take part in moments that made the event feel personal and engaging.

The Campaign Video was also shown, which introduced the heart of the “My Brightest Chapter” narrative and helped frame brightness not as one fixed idea, but as something women can define for themselves through confidence, self-care, and the chapters they choose to step into.

Guests also experienced My Brightest Pages, a journal-inspired wall where they wrote intentions and affirmations, and My Brightest Portraits, a professional portrait area that captured them in their brightest light. They also took part in the My Brightest Era Quiz, a personalized activity that helped guests discover their wellness and lifestyle “era” through quick questions on energy, daily habits, rest, aging, and self-care. Each result connected back to a state of brightness, from On-the-Go and Reset Mode to Steady State and Peak Mode.

The afternoon continued with My Colla Mix, a hands-on drink activity where guests created their own MyColla C blends using fresh ingredients and flavor pairings. Together, these touchpoints became a guided experience around beauty, wellness, and feeling supported from within.

The product conversation flowed naturally from the event’s core theme. Combined with proper diet and exercise, MyColla C offers 3000mg Premium Hydrolyzed Marine Collagen with Vitamin C, made for women who want to support skin rebuild and collagen renewal as part of their daily routine.

Together, they offer beauty support from within, especially for women who are beginning to notice early signs of aging and want to meet those changes with care, not fear.

It comes in Strawberry Milk Powder, Unflavored Powder, and Strawberry Milk Tablet, available at select drugstores including Watsons, Mercury Drug, Southstar Drug, Rose Pharmacy, and St. Joseph Drugstore.

PascualLab extends the love to less fortunate children via World Vision’s CHOSEN

After marking its 75th anniversary with the theme #PascualLove, and manifesting it via the company’s CSR initiatives, PascualLab renews its ties with charitable donations organization World Vision to help less fortunate children in Malabon. A virtual MOA signing was mounted last week to seal the partnership.

Through the World Vision program CHOSEN which enables children in select communities to choose their sponsors, PascualLab and its employees were able to help over 75 children in 2021, via the sponsorship of over 140 PascualLab employees.

To continue sharing the #PascualLove and helping these children, one of the Philippines’ most well-loved pharmaceutical companies ¹ and its employees once again joined hands with World Vision.

This year, most employees are renewing their sponsorships, to help children in need of educational support and health essentials.

According to VP for Corporate HROD and DSCC Mia Pascual Cenzon: 

“Corporate Social Responsibility has always been part of PascualLab’s thrust. In realizing this, it has always been our goal to pursue initiatives that are long-term rather than “one-offs”. Through this partnership with World Vision, we hope to see these children graduate to the next level and help enable them to achieve their dreams through education and health.”

Aside from Cenzon, present at the MOA signing were LAC President and CEO Antonio “Tony” Causing, PascualLab Supply Group’s Senior Vice President and Chief Manufacturing Officer Higinio “Jun” Porte, Senior Vice President for Finance Accounting, ICTD Rowena “Weng” Punsalan, and Internal Audit and Risk Management Head Rodney Doromal. The event was hosted by Lara Dela Cruz, PascualLab’s Senior Manager for Design Services and Corporate Communications together with World Vision's Donor Care Manager Precious Hope Basco.

The World Vision team accords the PascualLab with a One For Children Seal to thank the company and its employees for the valuable support.

National Director Rommel Fuerte led the World Vision team. Joining him were Strategy Management and Quality Assurance Director Vanessa Retuerama, Resource Development Director Jun Godornes, New Sponsor Engagement Specialist El Joy Beneza, Contact Center Officer Marc Klauzen Perez, and Acquisitions Manager Cherry Valencia.

To thank PascualLab for the second year of partnership, the World Vision Team accorded the company and its employees a “Project Salute”, led by Retuerama.

Retuerma shared: “With hundreds of children supported through the years, this partnership is one that we are very proud of, and always eager to share with others.” She added: “That said, we are pleased to award this World Vision “One for Children” Seal as a symbol of our unending gratitude and appreciation for PascualLab’s loyalty towards World Vision and the children we support.”

The One for Children seal was made by a former World Vision beneficiary, artist, and now entrepreneur Kit Gresos

The seal, made by a former World Vision beneficiary, artist, and owner of Papelemento Design Kit Gresos, is symbolic of how philanthropy can bring great opportunities for children, tenfold.

To take its partnership with World Vision and support for the kids further, PascualLab employees hope to meet their sponsored children once the current situation becomes more favorable health-wise. Meanwhile, PascualLab continues to support the World Vision-assisted community in Malabon and even beyond through its family-friendly and quality health and wellness products.
