Former Viva Hot Babe Ella V. launched her own skincare line called VGlow recently, and among her guests were her groupmates Katya Santos, Jaycee Parker, Rachelle Villanueva, Gwen Garci, and Maricar dela Fuente.
“Sobrang happy ko na nandoon pa rin ang support ng Viva Hot Babes, the iconic female group in the Philippines. Nakaka-proud and I want to [show] na friendship never fades after 20 years. Kasi, may kanya-kanyang eksena ang mga babaeng ito, di ba? Yung iba may family, pero talagang nag-make time kami,” Ella V. told GMANetwork.com and other select media vloggers in an interview.
In a separate interview, Gwen said she's happy to see her good friend again.
“Sobrang tagal nang hindi namin nakita si Ella. Ang huling kita ko sa kanya sa U.S. pa. Kung iisipin namin ang pinaggagagawa namin before, sobrang haba ng pinagdaanan namin.”
Likewise, Katya said, “Super happy na nakakasama namin siya ulit, reunited kami with her. Kaya masaya kaming buong group. Kasi kami, nakakapagsama-sama kami. Iba yung naku-complete. Masarap yung feeling na may dumadating na bago, and ang daming nasasayahan din na nakikita kami ulit together.”
