“It Girl” Martine Cajucom is the newest face of Ever Bilena. Beautiful, smart, vibrant and very stylish, the model-entrepreneur currently runs a growing eyewear business.
Martine is very happy working behind-the-scenes. Moving back to Philippines after living in L.A. for several years, she never thought that she would one day have fashion and beauty gigs just like her equally popular cousins Georgina Wilson and Isabel Daza.
Whether she’s in comfortable work wear, or all-dressed-up for a glittery event, trust Martine to stand out from the crowd. “I have an eye for color and this has always defined my personal style,” says the newest endorser of Ever Bilena Cosmetics. “This is something people easily notice when they see my profile or my made-up look.”
When you scroll through her Instagram, you’ll see her retro, sometimes whimsical, images. A naturally visual person, she took up Journalism in college, focusing on photo journalism. “But there were also a lot of writing, media and design”, she says.
She attributes her personal style to life experiences – her travels, her love for the color pink and her “colorful and full of life” family. “I am very feminine, and pink to me is a color that feels alive,” she says.
Martine says she immediately fell in love with Ever Bilena’s matte lipstick the first time she tried it. “I bought an entire set. I thought it had the best matte formula.”
Truly enjoying the brand Martine is thrilled to try more products. “Ever Bilena has a broad array of different shades and colors which undoubtedly will match any look ”.
An “It Girl” who knows what she wants, Martine is delighted to be part of the Ever Bilena family . “This is exciting for me because beauty has been something I’ve always been passionate about,” she says. “Ever Bilena has become a lot more modern in the past five years since I first tried their product and I’m so happy to be part of that movement.”

You’ve seen the incredible colors and contrast of LG’s best-in-class OLED technology on its flagship TV lineup. Now, with more and more content consumption being done on mobile devices, and the rise of display standards like HDR on smartphones, LG has brought its OLED panels to mobile with the LG V30+.
The centerpiece of the LG V30+ is a massive 6.0-inch OLED FullVision with an elegant bezel-less design. It features all the deep blacks and vivid colors for which LG’s OLED panels are well known, as well as a crisp 2880 x 1440 resolution that showcases eye-popping detail in any content.
The display also supports the HDR10 and Dolby Vision standards, which allow it to show a wider range of brightness and contrast levels and color depth than ever before in supported high dynamic range content.
LG V30+ camera
A good display needs good content, and with the LG V30+’s high-end camera system, you can capture your own moments in incredible detail. The dual camera features a huge f/1.6 aperture to let in more light than other smartphone cameras.
It also has both standard-angle and wide-angle cameras that allow you capture a greater field of view as you see fit. And with LG’s Cine Video mode, mobile videography takes on a whole new level of cinematic detail – a perfect companion for the OLED display.
Aside from its best-in-class display, the LG V30+ also features all the hallmarks of a modern flagship smartphone, including the top-tier Snapdragon 835 chipset, 4GB of RAM, 64 or 128GB of onboard storage, and IP68 certification for water and dust resistance. It also comes with a plethora of secure unlock options, including Face Recognition, Voice Recognition, Fingerprint Sensor, and Knock Code.

Ever Bilena, the country’s leading cosmetics brand, is a proud supporter, with the Chamber of Cosmetics Industry of the Philippines (CCIP), of this year’s “Hope for Lupus Run” on January 21 at the SM Mall of Asia.
The event is held in partnership with Hope for Lupus Foundation.
Lupus, a chronic autoimmune disease, causes the body’s immune system to become hyperactive and to attack normal, healthy muscles and organs. This leads to inflammation, swelling and damage to the skin, joints, kidneys, blood, heart and lungs.
The disorder is more common among women. Ever Bilena, with its large women clientele, is working closely with Hope for Lupus Foundation to promote early detection and proper treatment of the disease. The foundation logo is currently part of the uniform of Blackwater Elite, Ever Bilena’s official PBA team.
“Hope for Lupus Run” participants can join the 5k, 10k, or 21k race. Lupus patients can join the 1k butterfly warrior march.
Entry fee for the 21k race is P1, 000, inclusive of race bib, shoetag with RFID (radio frequency identification), race shirt, a “Finisher” shirt and medal. For 10k and 5k races, entrance fees are P750 and P650, respectively. The fee covers race bib, shoetag with RFID and race shirt. Fee for the butterfly warrior march is P350, inclusive of a race shirt and umbrella.
Registration is being conducted until January 14, 2018 at GNC stores, such as those in Trinoma, SM Megamall, SM Aura, Glorietta, SM Mall of Asia and Alabang Town Center.

AXA, the official insurance partner of the NBA in the Philippines, recently celebrated the strategic partnership with an event that highlighted their shared principles of teamwork, integrity, courage, and innovation. During the festivities, a check donation amounting to P70,000 was presented to Tahanang Walang Hagdanan, a non-profit center for the orthopedically impaired.
Last July, NBA 3X Philippines 2017 presented by AXA staged a free throw challenge featuring local celebrities including TV personality Bobby Yan, former PBA player Paul Artadi, and former UP Lady Maroons team captain Karen Salapong that generated a financial donation for every free throw made, which will be used to purchase wheelchairs for the community.
AXA Philippines believes in empowering its customers to create a solid financial game plan to be able to live the life they choose.
On hand during the turnover were (L-R) AXA Philippines CSR Manager Eliza Delos Santos, Segment Director Johanna Janeo, Segment Manager Paulo Sulit, Chief Transformation & Operations Officer John Hilson, representatives from Tahanan Walang Hagdanan, AXA Philippines Chief Human Resources Officer Jaspreet Kakar, and Brand Marketing & Communications Director Donna Marcelo.
