By FELIX ILAYA Interview By JANIS GOPEZ

Bea Binene will be the first ever cover girl for the online lifestyle hub, iamClaire. In an exclusive interview with GMANetwork.com, the Kapuso actress shared her excitement for her new project.

According to Bea, "Siyempre natuwa ako, na-excite ako because gusto ko talaga gumawa ng mga ganito, fun shoot lang. Excited ako na lumabas na siya and I can't wait for everyone to see it."

Bea also told us how she prepared for the photo shoot.

"I started eating clean since June 1, I don't eat fast food [and] rice and I go to the gym. Pero 'yung clean eating, I just eat nilagang saba, kamote, pechay, repolyo and then baked fish or chicken," said she.

iamClaire Co-Founder and Chief Marketing Officer Liam Mendoza shared with us the reason why they chose Bea to be their first ever cover girl.

Liam stated that "We watched her journey from being a Starstruck Kids finalist and then taking on bigger roles right now. Whenever we talk about what it means to be an iamClaire cover girl, we look at the story and journey -- does that person actually have an inspiring story to tell women? The iamClaire philosophy is we empower transformation. With her, the authenticity we are looking for is there so we believe that in terms of embodying the essence of iamClaire, she is that person." 

Liam also told us a bit about their soon-to-be-launched platform, iamClaire.

According to her, "iamClaire is a new hangout place for millennial women where they can be with their friends, share interesting content with them and at the same time, easily buy the products they want in an e-commerce platform. It's basically a "social commerce," that's the word we have used for it."
