Kapuso stars Derrick Monasterio, Elle Villanueva, Sofia Pablo, Allen Ansay, and Kelley Day unlocked a new milestone in their careers as they were named as the newest endorsers for skin care and hair care products.

The five Sparkle talents officially signed their endorsement contracts in a ceremony held at Luxent Hotel in Quezon City last March 15.

During the event, Sparkle sweethearts Sofia Pablo and Allen Ansay were officially introduced as the newest endorsers of DermClinic. In an interview with the entertainment press, the two expressed their gratitude as they celebrate another endorsement together as a love team.

“Super happy po kami kasi sobrang daming blessings po ngayong taon na 'to. Natupad 'yung pinapangarap namin na serye tapos ngayon may new endorsement na naman kami na magkasama,” Allen said.

Sofia added, “Very happy kasi marami na kaming natutupad ni Allen na dreams together and of course a new family, DermClinic, and we're looking forward to being with them.”

Former Return To Paradise lead stars Derrick Monasterio and Elle Villanueva, on the other hand, were named as the newest endorsers of Dermplus Moisturizing Sunscreen. The Sparkle stars were also ecstatic to have their first endorsement together.

Elle shared to the press during the event, “Definitely more than happy kasi first endorsement namin together ni Derrick and patuloy pa rin 'yung blessings na dumarating with GMA and projects. I'm really grateful. Ang ganda ng start ng year na 'to.”

According to Derrick, he and Elle have been taking care of their skin and have a strict routine to keep it healthy and fresh.

“It's so timely kasi kami ni Elle, we've been taking care of our skin ever since like strictly mayroon kaming routine and mayroon kaming mga ginagawa to make it look even more fresh. It's so timely na pumasok 'yung endorsement na ito,” he said.

For hair care, actress-turned-beauty queen Kelley Day was announced as the newest endorser of Regroe and Pregroe. The Miss Eco International 2021 first runner-up also shared the story of her alopecia advocacy.

She said, “As someone who's had alopecia since 2018, as you might know that when I joined the pageant in 2019 that was my advocacy. For me to be able to endorse something that I hold close to my heart because I know what it's like to feel that no one can relate to you because I thought I was alone in my journey.”

“When I opened up and used my platform to advocate for alopecia awareness, so many people came to me and messaged me, told me that they were suffering as well and asked for advice. It was like a community and that made me feel so comfortable in my skin and with my hair and whatever journey I had to go through. Just to continue that advocacy here is amazing with this new family,” she added.

Also present during the momentous event were Dra. Angela Pineda - president of DermClinic, Arnold Pineda - general manager of Dermplus, PR and marketing consultant Dyenes Regner, talent manager Manny Vallester, and Sparkle GMA Artist Center Senior Talent Managers Tracy Garcia and Jan Navarro.

Congratulations on these new endorsements, mga Kapuso!
