MANILA, Philippines - Daniel Padilla (photo) talks about his type of girl, ang babaeng may tapang.
In a new video titled Daniel ¢¾ Whisper Fearless Girl, the young actor describes his ideal girl as someone who is fearless to stand up for what she wants.
“Siya yung tipong confident tumayo para sa sarili, hindi niya inuupuan lang ang problema. May tapang na tumayo at talikuran ang nakasanayan, hindi sunud-sunuran sa nakagawian. May tapang na tumayo at manguna sa pagbabago. Wala siyang tinatago kaya wala rin siyang kinakatakutan… angat na angat siya sa iba.”
The video takes off from Whisper’s #LikeAgirl campaign that debunks stereotypes on how a girl behaves. Whisper believes that Filipina adolescents today are less constrained to excel in any field they might want to venture into. However, their confidence is sometimes decreased by concerns about leaks during their period and about their changing bodies.
Whisper challenges Filipina teenagers to make the switch and be a Whisper #fearless girl. “A Whisper girl is a fearless girl, ready to take on anything the world throws at her,’’ said Whisper brand manager Jan Jizelle Ang at the recent Whisper Fearless Fair held in The Tent at Enderun. Also featured at the fair were varied performance arts that encouraged women to be bold and fearless were woven seamlessly together into creative storytelling.
