Back-to-back projects, a huge social media presence, endorsements left and right – no doubt, Francine Diaz is among more successful young stars today.
But it isn’t as if these were handed to her on a silver platter.
She worked hard for it.
“Akala ko ang pag-a-artista, very glam lang siya, madali, pero hindi. Mahirap,” she told us recently.
The 19-year-old thought of giving up numerous times but for her family.
“Sila ang biggest reason why I’m here,” she said. “That’s why I always give my best and work hard.”
Of course, she is also thankful that she has tons of loyal supporters who are always there for her.
“Kaya nga kahit minsan pagod na ako, I always make time to mingle with them, to let them know how much I appreciate their efforts.”
She did so again recently, appearing in a meet-and-greet in Trinoma that coincided with the launch of her new fragrances for Bench: Spring Day and Royal Dream.
We took time to ask some of them what they like most about Francine.
One said, “Napakabait niya and very sweet!”
Another intoned, “Ang galing niyang umarte!”
Told about this, Francine said, “Of course, I am happy and grateful. It is because of them that I always try to do better, learn more. I don’t be too comfortable ‘pag nakaka-receive ng good comments. I want to keep on improving.”
According to the leading fashion and lifestyle brand, Spring Day and Royal Dream evoke the sweet, enticing scent of blooming flowers and of vivid dreams, respectively.
Inspired by Francine’s bright and perky personality, coupled with her alluring flair, the newly developed Bench fragrances ensures that the wearer exudes positive vibes with every step they take.
Spring Day offers a vibrant blend of floral and citrus notes, including strawberry, rose, and jasmine, complemented by enduring scents of vanilla, musk, and moss.
Royal Dream exudes a delightful amalgam of bergamot, apple, pear, rose, and raspberry notes, coupled with the sweet aromas of vanilla, whipped cream accord, and musk.
Both Spring Day and Royal Dream retail for 389 pesos and are exclusively available at all Bench stores nationwide, Zalora, Shopee, and LazMall.
