"'Sayang ka.'

These are words that many Filipinas have heard in countless moments over their lifetime, myself included. A phrase that, though sometimes unintended to offend, often wounds the heart.

So today, I’m here to remind you that our worth as women do not depend on achieving the timelines society has dictated for us, or the beauty standards we’re told to abide by. We are talented, skilled, passionate, aspirational all on our own and we get to write our own narratives.

So when a gloomy day comes around, and you find yourself questioning your worth, remember that beauty, tenacity, and value comes from within... and maybe a bright red lip by L’Oreal Paris might help boost the confidence. So sinong sayang ngayon?"
