  • Paulo Avelino and Janine Gutierrez Make the Latest Love Team in ‘Ngayon Kaya’

    Following the beloved cinema tradition of onscreen pairings, a new love team is born in the tandem of Paulo Avelino and Janine Gutierrez who are starring in their first film together entitled Ngayon Kaya which opens in theaters on June 22.

    Janine Gutierrez and Paulo Avelino

    In this movie directed by Prime Cruz and written by Jen Chuaunsu (the creative duo behind romantic masterpieces Isa Pa With Feelings and Can We Still Be Friends), Paulo and Janine portray former buddies Harold and AM, respectively, who have a chance encounter years after their college graduation. The unexpected reunion happens when they both arrive late at their friends’ wedding. As Harold and AM catch up during the wedding reception, the memories of their past come flooding back. 

    This film comes at the heels of the success of the ABS-CBN teleserye Marry Me, Marry You, wherein Paulo played a rich boy entangled with a poor girl portrayed by Janine. The tables are turned in Ngayon Kaya as Paulo’s character Harold is a shy probinsiyano from a simple family secretly in love with Janine’s outgoing rich girl persona AM. Complications in their personal lives prevent Harold and AM from going past the “more than friends but less than lovers” stage during their college days. Now reunited after five years, they contemplate on the “what ifs” of their lives and try to figure out their unresolved feelings.

    Paulo and Janine’s undeniable chemistry has inspired the passion of fans who have christened the pair as “Paunine.” Their recent performance on “ASAP” ignited kilig. And when they were asked meaningfully by ASAP hosts Kim Chiu and Robi Domingo, “Ngayon kaYA?” Janine coyly replied, “Ngayon Kaya!”

    Paulo and Janine have also been attracting crowds and receiving warm response during their latest mall shows to promote the movie.

  • Unlock This Secret Now: How to Get the Best Version of your Skin in 7 Days!

    Collagen makes up about 80% of the skin and is a crucial element for building proteins. But by the time one turns 25, the skin begins to lose this key element. As the skin loses more collagen over time, it becomes harder for the skin to stay smooth and plump. 

    Anew Renewal Serum

    For decades, global beauty brand Avon has innovated with technology that set the benchmark for skincare. This year, the company’s latest innovation is the breakthrough skin-care product Anew Renewal Serum, which promises healthier and future-proof skin in just 7 days. 

    The Anew Renewal Serum harnesses the power of Protinol™️, a world-exclusive formula that works way quicker, gentler, and more effective than retinol, the previous benchmark in the category. 

    Protinol™️is designed to strengthen the skin’s foundation with a unique double collagen boost, restoring two types of collagen—collagen 1 and collagen 3, also known as baby collagen, that allow these small building blocks to bind together more efficiently.

    Avon Protinol

    Working together with niacinamide, the Protinol™️ in the Anew Renewal Serum helps restore baby skin in just 7 days, along with 7 powerful skin benefits—fine lines reduced, firmer and smoother-looking skin, more radiant glow, minimized pores, and stronger-feeling and more resilient skin. A clinical efficacy test conducted among women aged 40 to 65 years old reveal 100% proven results showing an improvement in at least one of these benefits after using Anew Renewal Serum.

    What you do now affects your future—make preventative measures with Anew Renewal Serum as early as now before lines become visible, helping you future-proof your skin.
