Bringing together the people who matter and
who have been with her every step of the way has been one of Maymay Entrata’s
long-term goals during the pandemic. Serving as a way to give back and to keep
herself grounded, the singer-actress, who’s known for holding sold-out concerts
and packed mall shows and screenings, admits that nothing beats face-to-face
encounters.
But the virtual Meet & Greet last
February 27, which was organized by her Megan Beauty family, was more than
enough for Maymay to feel recharged and excited to carry on with her next
endeavor in her professional life.
Present in the event is several fan groups
and select members of the press who all had a colorful Sunday as they
participated in the fun Bring Me and Whisper Challenge games.
With catching up as the afternoon’s main
theme, both the media and the fans were able to get up-close-and-personal anew
with the “Amakabogera” singer as they threw fun jokes and queries during the
question-and-answer segments.
Maymay who is currently in Canada to pursue
her studies recalled that her February has been really special for her.
“Matagal
na matagal ko ng talagang plinano na mag-study abroad at alam na yan ng nanay
ko kahit hindi pa ako artista. Ayun nangyari na siya kaya masaya ako. Ang buong
February ko, masayang masaya. Yung puso ko masaya kasi kasama ko ang espesyal
sa puso ko. Tapos isa na din, itong February na ito, marami sa pamilya ko ang
nag-birthday kaya punong-puno ng selebrasyon. Halos araw-araw rin kaming
nagco-communicate eh, kaya masaya. Ang isa rin na kumumpleto sa saya ko this
February dahil nadagdagan kami ng isang miyembro sa pamilya namin. Kakapanganak
lang ng pinsan nung isang araw kaya
masayang-masaya ang Pebrero ko,” Maymay shares.
Apart from her supporters, Maymay accounts
for the trust of her endorsements, such as local personal care and beauty brand
MEGAN Beauty, as her confidence booster amidst being part of a very volatile
and demanding industry.
“Hindi
naging madali para talagang maging fully confident ako sa sarili ko. Kaya ang
laki ng tulong sakin ng MEGAN family kasi lalo na nung first two years, isa
sila sa napakalaking rason kung bakit naniniwala ako sa tunay kong ganda. Isa
sila sa mga unang naniwala sa gandang meron ako,” Maymay started.
“So
parang ako rin, na-push ko rin yung sarili ko na, ‘Okay, dahil may naniniwala
sa ganda ko, maniniwala rin ako,’” she explains.
But Maymay stressed that being confident is
not an overnight process.
“Siyempre
hindi naman sa isang salita lang magiging confident kana sa ganda mo. Base sa
experence ko talaga kapag dapat hindi mo din-define yung ganda base sa sinasabi
ng ibang tao na stadard ng beauy. Dapat dine-define mo ang ganda sa kung paano
mo siya dine-define. Kasi kapag nagre-rely ka sa ganon hindi ka talaga masa-satisfy
talaga.Be yourself lang talaga at acceptance sa sarili mong ganda,” she
says.
Maymay was named as the first celebrity
endorser of MEGAN Beauty in 2018 for the products MEGAN Peel-Off Masks, MEGAN
Face Sheet, MEGAN Nose Pore Strips, MEGAN Facial and Body Wax Kits, MEGAN Eye
Gel Patch, and the MEGAN Clay Masks.
“I
would like to extend my gratitude to everyone who has been supporting our
products. Choosing Maymay as the endorser of some of the MEGAN Beauty products
felt very natural for us. Simply because she has always been open and proud of
who she is as a Filipina. Similar to our brand, we also want the Filipinas to
embrace who they really are and be cared for by a brand that is specially made
for their skin,” says MEGAN Beauty President Lawrence Lance Lee.
Finally, grateful for all the love and
support that she’s been receiving, Maymay encourages her supporters to, like
her, always choose to be happy.
“Sa
mga taga-suporta ko na nandito ngayon sa meet-and-greet, sana nag-enjoy kayo
kahit hindi man tayo in-person. Sana mangibabaw kung ano man ang nakakapagpasaya
ng puso natin. Huwag na huwag po tayong matakot na mag-risk sa kung ano ang
magpapasaya sa atin kasi sinasabi ko sa inyo magiging worth it talaga ‘yun,”
she ends.
