The milestone event, which championed Bioessence’s contribution in providing world-class beauty and wellness services, took place at The Blue Leaf Cosmopolitan in Quezon City on September 26, 2024.

Thousands of guests have enjoyed an evening of entertainment, surprises, and a retrospective of Bioessence's 30 years of existence. Founded in 1994, Bioessence has grown from a small 3-bed beauty clinic chain into a renowned wellness brand with multiple branches located in Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.

The brand’s Pearl anniversary celebration brought together key opinion leaders, stakeholders, loyal customers, and influential figures who have contributed to Bioessence's success over the past three decades. It also welcomed VIPs, clients, and media colleagues for a vibrant night of beauty and wellness.

In addition to socializing and networking among beauty and wellness enthusiasts, the brand also mounted several exciting activities for attendees, promising a night that truly redefines care.

The Philippines' Bossa Nova singer Sitti and The Crooner Richard Poon serenaded the crowd and made the night extra special with their delightful mix of hits and covers. Other performers include Aliw Award winner MOBB, along with up-and-coming singers Bugs and Jarlo Base.

Apart from the live music performances, the anniversary also put a spotlight on the evolution of Bioessence, while revealing new innovations in services and products in partnership with OxygenCeuticals, an oxygen-based skincare brand from South Korea. One of the other most anticipated parts of the event was the unveiling of the company’s new brand ambassador: Jennica Garcia, who graced the audience with her beauty and simplicity.

With a goal of expanding its portfolio of services, Bioessence also introduced a new machine called Harmony, complementing its existing advanced non-invasive treatments Exilis and Plasma, showcasing that Bioessence has the complete solution for beautiful skin and body.

Funko Pops are all the rage, and when Bigboy Cheng dropped the Family and Friends Exclusive Funko Pop, collectors went wild.

The livestream bid ended with a jaw-dropping PHP 45,000 price tag, setting a new record for the most expensive item ever sold via auction on Toki.

Moment 2: The Epic 9-Hour Auction Marathon

Hubbyte Toy Store's previous livestream auction on Toki impressively ran for nine hours.

Toki’s usual auctions are about 1.5 hours, but one of Hubbyte Toy Store's shows stretched to an insane nine hours! Bidders and viewers were glued to their screens as the livestream featured everything from Demon Slayer Nendoroids to Bandai One Piece Gashapons. Just when you thought the auction was over, the audience kept on clamoring for more! Viewers would request for their toy lines and Hubbyte would comply after some lighthearted teasing. Talk about the Toki community’s passion!

Moment 3: TheMonYu’s NBA Bonanza – Over 100 Items Sold!

TheMonYu’s haul was a major win for collectors and set a new benchmark for most items sold in a Toki auction.

Moment 4: 17 Minutes of Pure Adrenaline, Rapid-Fire Bidding

Collector BigBoy Cheng’s auction for the China Blue Funko Pop skyrocketed from P3,000 to P10,000 in just 17 minutes.

Kokoy, an indie artist and former sticker collector turned art aficionado, drew in more than 500 viewers on various platforms. He auctioned off Funko Pop from across different lines and as a bonus, performed a snippet from a BINI dance for his engaged fans. At the end of the auction, as a thank you to all the viewers commenting during the livestream on the Toki website, he raffled off exclusive Toki x Secret Fresh t-shirts that he autographed. The auction definitely showcased Toki's commitment to foster a vibrant community and creating engaging experiences for all.
