MAMAHALIN SI LIZA: Celebrity gifts make good news in this business where lovers expressing their love for one another is often quantified.
Take the very pricey Chanel bag Enrique Gil recently bought as a Christmas present for girlfriend Liza Soberano. The bag reportedly costs between 200,000 to 300,000 pesos. It is made of black diamond quilted caviar leather and antique gold hardware.
It is also hard to find, according to Enrique, who charmed reporters at the media launch of his new endorsement, Grips Hair Wax and Clay.
Enrique said the gift is a one-time, big-time thing.
“Í know she wants it, but buying such an expensive bag isn’t her priority, so I got it for her,” he said.

ICONIC HAIRSTYLES: A spokesman from hairstyling brand Grips said Enrique Gil was picked to represent the brand as he is known for wearing iconic hairstyles that fit his many roles. The actor said he wants to reinvent himself with every role.
“Our hairstyles are not just about good looks, they also allow us to express ourselves,” he said during the media launch held in Quezon City.
