MANILA, Philippines - Excessive sweating is one of the health problems experienced by athletes and sports buffs like Edward, who regularly plays basketball and hits the gym thrice a week.
While sweating regulates the amount of heat and helps eliminate harmful bacteria from the body, it can be disadvantageous if it becomes uncontrolled.
“Too much sweating leads to offensive body odor. Also, dry sweat leaves sweat marks on clothes. For a commercial and print model like me, that’s a no no!” says Edward. “Thank goodness for Flawless’ Sweatox. Now, I can engage in sports without having to worry about too much sweat.”
How does it feel to be a Flawless endorser?
I feel very privileged and blessed to be part of the Flawless family. I think it’s a rare opportunity and I’m just very thankful for it.
You’re also going to stand alongside Butch Francisco and DJ Mojo Jojo, two personalities who stand up for something and constantly achieve their goals and dreams. What do you stand up for and what goals do you think the endorsement can help you achieve?
I respect what they do and what they give to the public. I take my hat off to them. I stand for my unique character, beliefs, and knowledge. I have many goals. In fact, there’s one I’m planning to launch soon (in collaboration with FlawlessI hope it will benefit those who are into health and fitness. It’s something that has my knowledge, character, and beliefs all put into the mix. For me, being able to make a positive difference in many people’s lives in some way is quite an amazing goal and gives me ultimate satisfaction.
What sports do you engage in? How do you keep your body in shape?
I play basketball, the sport I’m most passionate about. I keep my body in shape by eating right and going to the gym at least three times a week. Actually, I’m more focused on my diet rather than exercising. For me, the secret formula to being fit is 30-percent training and 70-percent nutrition.
What have you been doing since being one of Cosmo’s centerfold models in 2003?
After Cosmo’s centerfolds, I did some modeling and commercials and a movie stint with Ai-Ai de las Alas. After that, I just decided to take a break. I guess I just needed to take a breather from those things.
What makes you flawless?
I guess it’s my face because I rarely get pimples. Perhaps it’s because I follow a strict diet. Also, the treatments that Flawless gives me such as the Nano-Power Peel and their many facials sure do the trick.
How do you feel about physical fitness in Filipinos? Should it be improved or is it going really well?
It’s great that Filipinos are getting more involved in exercise and dietary regimens, but I think there is still room for improvement. With all the state-of-the-art gym equipment and dietary supplements we have at our disposal, there is still an important element that is lacking that would make everybody’s fitness goals complete — that missing link is extensive knowledge of proper diet and exercise.
What can you bring to the table for Flawless as its new endorser?
As a new endorser, what I can bring to the table for Flawless is my being pro-active with the company as a representative and speaker for its new innovative services. I am very concerned with health and fitness so being the endorser for their new body services is a great opportunity. My lifestyle and goals correspond with the services that I’m endorsing, so I hope to be a good role model to convince Filipinos that Flawless is the place to go for achieving health and wellness as well as excellent skincare and physical attractiveness.
Being the endorser of Flawless for Shape & Sculpt and Sweatox, you’ll be attracting the athletic customers of Flawless. Do you think you’re an effective role model?
I used to play competitive sports, and I still hit the gym at least thrice a week, so I think I can relate to the athletic and fitness customers. I can understand the bio-mechanisms behind their training and physical goals as well as the problems with sweating profusely due to amplified metabolism. As the endorser of Shape & Sculpt and Sweatox, I will do my best to provide them all the information they need to improve their over-all being in the most innovative way. I think I can be an effective role model and I hope I’ll achieve — and exceed — everyone’s expectations.
