Dermorepubliq Revealed as Mysterious 'D' Behind Viral Billboard that raked 30 million views online

April 18, 2024



Dermorepubliq, TikTok Shop Philippines' top skincare brand, has stepped forward as the mastermind behind the viral billboard along C5 Southbound in Libis, Quezon City, which has sparked intrigue from an estimated 30 million social media users with its heartfelt plea to salvage relationships.

The billboard, featuring the message "Wag na tayo mag-break, please" (Let's not break up, please) and signed with the initial "D," initially sparked speculation among netizens. Celebrity actors like Daniel Padilla and Dominic Roque were swiftly linked to the campaign, given their recent public breakups, fueling further speculation about the identity of "D."

The original video that went viral was posted by social media influencer Gifer Fernandez, garnering nearly 20 million views and thousands of reactions, comments, and shares on Facebook alone.

Dermorepubliq's revelation sheds light on the creative campaign behind the emotional appeal. The message was crafted as part of the launch campaign for Dermorepubliq's latest skincare innovation, the 5% Niacinamide + Hyaluronic Acid serum, which joins the local skincare brand’s meticulously curated range of 28 products.

The newly replaced billboard, situated in the same location, now bears the message, “Sabi ni D, breakout no more sa tulong ni Dermorepubliq with regular use of 5% Niacinamide." (D says, no more breakout with the help of Dermorepubliq with regular use of 5% Niacinamide.)

This breakthrough serum aims to innovate skincare routines by addressing common concerns such as breakouts, blemishes, pore refinement, hydration, and oil regulation. Positioned as an essential addition to any skincare regimen, the serum offers gentle yet effective solutions for individuals seeking radiant and flawless skin.

Keith Sta. Barbara, President and Founder of Dermorepubliq, said, "The unveiling of Dermorepubliq as the force behind the viral billboard narrative underscores our commitment to creativity and innovation in the skincare industry." He emphasized the brand's dedication to providing science-based products that cater to the diverse needs of consumers.

Sta. Barbara added, "Our mission at Dermorepubliq is to empower individuals to feel confident and comfortable in their own skin. We believe that skincare should be accessible to all and that our products offer effective solutions for a wide range of skin concerns."

As speculation continues to swirl, Dermorepubliq invites the public to uncover the story behind the billboard's emotive plea and explore its range of innovative skincare products.

DITO celebrates Ookla win with “DITO SA PUSO KO” campaign with the Power Couple Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera

April 13, 2024




DITO Telecommunity, the fastest-growing telecom provider in the country, launches DITO SA PUSO KO- a campaign that celebrates DITO subscribers' love and loyalty to the brand, featuring the Philippines’ most popular and sought-after real-life couple, Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera.

 

In a significant leap forward of being the Rated # 1 Mobile Network in the Philippines, DITO Telecommunity, the fastest-growing telecom provider in the country, proudly launches its newest campaign, DITO SA PUSO KO, featuring Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera, the stars of the top-grossing Filipino film of all time - Rewind. This campaign celebrates their love for DITO with all the DITOZENS who motivate DITO's constant pursuit of excellent customer satisfaction and digital innovations.




 

The release of the heartwarming online video with a special rendition of the iconic Filipino song "Dito Sa Puso Ko" captures the meaning of DITO's latest milestone of being the Rated #1 Mobile Network in the Philippines as awarded by Ookla, the global leader in network intelligence and connectivity insights.

 

This campaign underscores DITO's unwavering dedication to enriching the lives of the Filipino people, providing them with reliable connectivity and innovative solutions to help turn their digital aspirations into reality. It also reflects DITO's growing fan base, with more and more Filipinos subscribing to its quality products and services.

 

"Our newest campaign isn't just about showcasing our products and services; it's about celebrating the mutual love that we have with our millions of DITOzens. Galing na mismo sa mga subscribers namin, as evidenced by the Ookla Rated #1 Mobile Network award, napusuan na talaga nila ang DITO. Truly grateful that we are now number one in their hearts and minds," said Evelyn Jimenez, DITO Chief Revenue Officer-Consumer.

 

#1 power couple DongYan now joins the Rated # 1 Mobile Network in PH




Power Couple Marian Rivera-Dantes and Dingdong Dantes for #DITOsaPusoKo campaign 
#DongYan 


 

Renowned for their charm and charisma on and off screen, DITO brings in Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera, the stars of Rewind, as the power couple behind this new and exciting chapter in DITO's journey.

 

"Launching this campaign with Dingdong and Marian, the newest members of the DITO family, is a pivotal move to encourage more Filipinos to experience our next-generation technology. As we all know, Dingdong and Marian are not just big names in the Philippine entertainment industry; they are icons that inspire positive change and growth across diverse communities. Being the digital stars of DITO signifies not just a collaboration but a sweeping movement across the country—a shared vision of empowering and connecting more Filipinos nationwide," said Jasper Evangelist, DITO Brand and Marketing Director.

 

In the recently released online video of DITO SA PUSO KO, Dingdong and Marian were initially seen as the only ones with hearts. Eventually, hearts blasted all over the place, spreading the DITO love to everybody. This scene reflects the journey of DITO; through the power of high-speed connectivity and value-for-money products, along with the DITOzens' constant support and trust, DITO is now loved by millions of subscribers nationwide.

 

"At the outset, breaking into the market was a really a daunting challenge, specially amidst the long-standing duopoly.  We needed to fight for our place on the table and establish who we are as a telco brand and what we really value as a company. Armed with a customer-centric mentality and a passion to make a difference , DITO thrived and flourished. We only started with thousands of subscribers, and now, after three years, we have millions of DITOzens who love and trust our brand and our products. And because of that, we are really grateful." Jimenez added.

 

Embracing this milestone and embarking on a new chapter with Dingdong and Marian is not merely a measure of success but a call to further elevate DITO's standards.

 

"As we embrace this achievement with grateful hearts, we also acknowledge that this is just the beginning of our journey. Moving forward, we remain steadfast in our commitment to provide, consistent customer satisfaction, value-driven products, and inclusive next-generation technology for the Filipino people," Jimenez concluded.

Through its new partnerships with consumer finance platforms, Igloo extends access to insurance to the underbanked

April 6, 2024


Regional insurtech furthers financial inclusion with tailored protection for products purchased through digital loan platforms


Manila, Philippines, April 5, 2024 – As part of its commitment to advancing financial inclusion and providing insurance for all, regional insurtech Igloo has partnered with consumer finance platforms in the Philippines to offer gadget protection products to shoppers. Igloo aims to extend access to insurance products and streamline the process of protecting items purchased through digital loans or alternative financing, whether online or in-store, providing consumers with a more accessible and convenient means to secure their purchases effectively.

“While the Philippines has made notable strides in financial inclusion, a considerable portion of the population remains unbanked. This translates to the inability to establish a credit history, which is essential for accessing financial products such as credit cards and loans,” said Roberto Vea, Commercial Lead at Igloo Philippines. “This is why the consumer lending industry has risen by leaps and bounds–it caters to the needs of the unbanked population by providing alternative financial solutions such as digital loans that do not rely on traditional banking infrastructure."

Lower barriers to entry, competitive interest rates, and simplified application processes have facilitated Filipinos' access to crucial loan products, driving the popularity of installment financing and buy-now-pay-later (BNPL) schemes. BNPL, in particular, is forecasted to reach US$2.29 billion by 2024. Many of these loans are facilitated in physical retail outlets, offering consumers the flexibility to make purchases and arrange financing conveniently in-store.

"At Igloo, we firmly believe in being where we can impact consumers most. That’s why we partnered with leading digital lending companies Skyro and Salmon alongside Etiqa to develop a product designed to protect installment purchases and ensure accessibility wherever our customers are,” Vea explained. “Now, they can protect their purchases wherever they buy it–whether through online merchants or offline stores, we’re giving them the peace of mind they deserve.”

In partnership with Etiqa, Igloo has introduced innovative products like Gadget Protection, Loan Protect with Skyro, and Loan Protect with Salmon. Soon, Salmon, Etiqa, and Igloo will also launch Accidental Damage and/or Liquid Damage, along with Extended Warranty products. These offerings provide comprehensive protection for customers' purchases through consumer finance platforms.

These products provide extensive coverage for device repairs, replacements, and loan repayments in the event of unexpected incidents that impact the customer. These protection products are available in top mobile and appliance stores nationwide.

The process is simple: when a customer purchases a device, the insurance product is seamlessly integrated into the client's loan amount. This integration ensures that premium payments are effortless, hassle-free, and budget-friendly. 

Once the policy is active, Gadget Protection will step in if the consumer faces device issues requiring repairs or replacements. The policy covers the costs associated with these services, providing the customer with peace of mind and financial security.

“We are committed to our mission of providing ‘insurance for all’ and that includes safeguarding purchases made by an underserved sector because it offers a layer of financial protection that they may not otherwise have access to. We will continue to work with our partners to develop products that cater to the diverse needs of the people we serve,” Vea ended.

About Igloo
Igloo is the first full-stack insurtech firm to emerge from Singapore. It has offices in Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, The Philippines, Vietnam, and Malaysia and tech centers in China and India. With a mission of making insurance accessible for all, the firm leverages big data, real-time risk assessment, and end-to-end automated claims management to create B2B2C insurance solutions for platform companies and insurance companies. Igloo’s insurance solutions enable companies to eliminate their exposure to operational risk, create new revenue streams, and optimize and enhance existing products and services.

Carlo J. Caparas' remake of "Lumuhod Ka Sa Lupa" premieres on April 8 in TV5's Hapon Champion

April 5, 2024



I'm familiar with the original masterpiece of Carlo J. Caparas' "Lumuhod Ka Sa Lipa," as a novel series in Aliwan Komiks. My mom used to buy bunch of comics and read all those beautiful novels and Mr. Caparas' stories were always a big hit and had been part of Filipino "siesta" time as their leisure as the people really intend to buy and follow those exciting novels. 

When I've learned about the remake, (it was made into a movie year 1986), I got excited and got really curious because Rudy Fernandez, Mark Gil, Eddie Garcia (all RIP) did a very awesome job before. 

Advance Media Screening time: 
We were one of the privileged media peeps to be invited to watch the pilot episode of the said tv series... and after watching it, my reaction? 
Remarkable!!! Everyone did they job so greatly! 
I can feel the excitement and my heart skips a beat everytime Gardo (Benito) and Norman (Kiko) was there. Kudos to Ms. Anna Abad, still in her very consistent intensed acting! 👍 

Am pretty sure a lot of almost-real action scenes and drama will be showcased. Hopefully you'll all stick around to watch it! 
No spoilers here 😊 

-----------------

Fall in love all over again as TV5, in cooperation with Studio Viva and Sari-Sari, proudly presents a modern retelling of a beloved action masterpiece, Lumuhod Ka Sa Lupa. With its compelling story and unforgettable characters, this classic tale of love and vengeance has etched an indelible mark in Filipino pop culture.
Originally penned as a comic book by the legendary Carlo J. Caparas and adapted into the classic film top-billed by the late action icon Rudy Fernandez in the 1980s, Lumuhod Ka Sa Lupa now undergoes a contemporary reimagining with more action-filled sequences, promising to captivate a new generation of viewers while staying true to the essence of the original story.


Featuring an ensemble cast of talented actors led by Kiko Estrada, Sarah Lahbati, Sid Lucero, Rhen Escaño, and Gardo Versoza – with Mark Anthony Fernandez, Andrew Muhlach, Phoebe Walker, Andre Yllana, Ashley Diaz, Annika Co, Rose Van Ginkel, Jeffrey Hidalgo, and Jeric Raval – TV5’s Lumuhod Ka Sa Lupa revolves around its characters’ quest for justice and retribution.

Kiko Estrada as Norman Dela Cruz 

Gardo Versoza as Benito Balmores

Sarah Lahbati as Mercy Balmores

Sid Lucero as Miguel Aguirre

Rhen Escaño 


The story follows Norman Dela Cruz (played by Kiko Estrada), a working student aspiring to become a lawyer. Norman’s life takes an unexpected turn when his mother Tacing (with the special participation of Ana Abad Santos), engages in an intense land dispute with her estranged non-biological brother Benito Balmores (Gardo Versoza) that results in tragedy. Surviving this ordeal, Norman vows to avenge his mother but finds himself torn as he falls in love with Benito’s daughter, Mercy Balmores (Sarah Lahbati). After several years, Norman returns as the successful lawyer Abra Espiritu, with a plan for revenge while suppressing his feelings for Mercy, who has married Miguel Aguirre (Sid Lucero).


As the lines between right and wrong blur, will Norman be able to achieve his goals for vengeance or will love prevail against all odds?
