Showcasing Hard Work and Brilliance: The Brilliant Awards 2023

Just got off the Brilliant Awards 2023, The Brightest of All Time. Brilliant Skin Inc. holds events like these annually to honor the regional leaders, franchisees, distributors of their cosmetic products in the country. Clad in their most gorgeous white and pink shimmering outfits, they were all welcomed at the Newport Performing Arts Theatre in Pasay City by Brilliant Skin CEO Glenda Dela Cruz.

Ms. Glenda says "This night is all for you, I know there are a lot of people who came from the Cordilleras, Region 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, Bangsamoro and NCR. You are the ones who are really brilliant."

She adds "We have been able to weather through the challenges of 2023. We had fears, uncertainty, and I thought everything would be gone. I learned to be grateful, and to tell you honestly, I'm a better version now. My life is an open book now, I let go of people that I loved and accepted it even though it was difficult. We made waves when we started our Pinakamakinang events in Araneta, and now we are in Malaysia with our TikTok shop, and with our online platform in countries like Dubai (UAE), Malaysia, and soon in Singapore. We did this because of you. We continue to work hard, and I hope this goes the same with all of you. This proves that no matter what they say, you stand behind me all the way. I won't be wasting your trust. I thank God for saving me so many times, and he has done so much for me."

 

After personally thanking the "Brilliants", a term she coined for those who support her, she began showing her gratitude with the tons of celebrity performers she prepared for them. With the likes of Mariel Padilla and Luis Manzano as their hosts, model and actor Daniel Matsunaga, song and dance numbers from international stars 4th Impact and talk of the town Andrea Brillantes, everyone was just so glad to be in the midst of their endorsers who went there to just perform for them. Add to that singers JK Labajo, Kyle Echarri, Jason Dy, good looking actor Paulo Avelino, our golden boy Alden Richards, rock phenom Kean Cipriano and KZ Tandingan brought the house down as each of the winners were announced on stage. It was really nice to see how the crowd reacted when people from their own region was called, and how proud they really are.

Ms. Glenda was so thankful that despite her recent health challenges, they were all able to gather in one place so she could personally spend time with them, to take photos, talk and thank them for the hard work they put in for Brilliant Skin.

Here's some scenes we caught on video that evening!

The tech21 IMPACTOLOGY Impact Shell for the iPhone 5

I bought my iPhone 5 case from a kiosk in Eastwood City a few months ago. It's been able to sufficiently protect my phone but there are hits and misses. One is this awkward looking gap on the back to show the Apple logo and two is the actual case - and how it promotes dirt on the crevices of my phone because they probably missed some spots which should have been shielded from the elements. Plus I'm really afraid to see what would happen if I accidentally drop this smartphone oh the heavens above forbid.

This is the tech21 IMPACTOLOGY Impact Shell for the iPhone 5. The name itself is a mouthful but believe me there's even bigger news on the case itself. It's flexible TPU shell (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) isn't just plain there to protect your phone. There's a technology behind it called D30 which is a fabric technology designed to ultimately dissipate impact if you drop your phone and distributes it on surrounding surface just to make sure it doesn't get damaged. It's shock absorbing but flexible. If you don't know, these are the kind of materials used in football helmets, motoring armors and military grade wear. That's how tough this is.

I wanted to change my existing iPhone 5 case because I couldn't fit some of my 3.5 mm jacks which is pretty normal for headphones, ear plugs or speakers. If that couldn't function well, how can I use it? Now that was really tough.

The part for the volume control was even exposed and I had to find some way to make that taken cared of because the last thing I'd want is a dirty phone. 

The answer was simple, I just had to use the tech21 IMPACTOLOGY iPhone 5 Impact Shell and figured... why didn't they think of that?

It fits snuggly on the phone and got that problem area I mentioned covered. It also opened up the base so I can pretty much fit any of my cables and earphones on it. Now that's great news right?

Now I think that's good proof of this "science of protection" that's indicated on the box. That gives me good reason to keep this one for a long time. I'm sure it'll keep my phone protected and still give me the freedom to use its features as it was intended to be used.

This accessory is available in Astrovision, Beyond the Box, Cell Shoppe, Complink stores, DigiHub Cebu, Digital Arena,  Digital Hub, Digital Walker, E-Central, Games and Gadgets, Globotel, Graphic All In*, iCenter, iCon, iGig Islands and More (NAIA T3), iStore, iStudio, Microstation, Mobile 1, R.O.X., Senco Link, Switch, Technoholics, The Inbox Store and Vertex so if you are in the look for things like this, you know where to go!
