A night worth celebrating. A night of triumph and giving back. A night that proves that love, above all, can really move mountains.
After three years of hardship and determination, Dear Aesthetic and Wellness Center can now confidently tell everyone that they already succeeded with their initial business objectives, thus celebrating these successes, may it be big or small, with the people who have been instrumental in reaching them.
A thanksgiving concert titled Love Above All: Dear Self Aesthetic and Wellness Clinic Anniversary Concert was held at the Elements, Centris, Quezon City last July 24, 2023.
“This event is not just to celebrate Dear Self’s success, but more of, us, giving thanks to everyone who has been an instrument to this success- our employees, our investors, our partners, family, and closed friends,” Madam Krystal Tecson- Garalde, CEO of Dear Self Aesthetic and Wellness Clinic said in an after event interview.
Moreover, the event also celebrated the International Self- Care Day. This is an annual opportunity to put a spotlight on self-care and the benefits that effective self-care can bring to both individuals and healthcare systems as a vital foundation of health, which has been Dear Self’s advocacy since day 1.
“Self, you must remember the importance of loving yourself, embracing your imperfections, accepting your flaws, and turning them into opportunities to be a better version of yourself are the greatest gift you can give not only to yourself but to a hundred more people around you,” Madam Tecson-Garalde stated in her heart-warming opening message.
“Dear Self Family with you I am truly loved,” she ended.
Concert Feels at the Centris Tent
The sizzling hot opening number was witnessed from Showtime’s alluring dancers and proud Dear Self babies: Boom Boom Neri, Gace Abina, and Amina Magat. This was followed by Tawag ng Tanghalan Season 1 grand finalist and a certified Star Music artist, Mr. Lucky Robles, who serenaded the crowd while having a sumptuous dinner.
Event hosts, brand ambassador, Ric Abasola, and theatre actor and director Allan Dale Alojipan, also introduced power women of the music industry. Ms. Pinky Marquez, TV, and movie actress and singer, amazed the crowd with her rendition of Broadway favorites. At the same time, Ms. Bituin Escalante left the audience in awe with her interpretation of Aretha Franklin’s classic- Respect, and Natural Woman.
The peak of the event was Ebe Dancel’s performance on stage with his band which lasted for an hour. His classics- Hari ng Sablay, Prom, Bawat Daan, and Wag Ka Nang Umiyak were the crowd’s anthem during that night.
“All these songs are meant to promote self-importance and self-love, kaya mas meaningful sa buong team namin. And our guest artists are all the best, we would like to thank them from the bottom of our hearts, for responding to our invite, kahit hindi kami one of the top companies,” Mr. Christian Tecson, Dear Self’s Chief Financial Officer said.
Event Guests
Guests from the entertainment and broadcasting industry were seen enjoying the Love Above All concert event.
Mr. Braggy Braganza from DWIZ, Aliw Broadcasting was present at the event. Ms. Winnie Cordero, a known ABS-CBN and DZMM personality was also at the event with her family and talent manager. Representatives from top broadsheets and digital magazines in the country were also spotted- Manila Bulletin, PhilStar, Business Mirror, Manila Standard, LionHeart, Cinema Bravo, Push, and Traffic Digest among others.
Capping off the Night
The company awarded loyal employees from the 9 different clinics.
“Thank you to our very loving EMPLOYEES, such as staff, branch managers, customer service team, hr team, OM team & marketing team. They are too many to mention, but I swear they are the best,” Ms. Vivien Tecson- Cadivida mentioned in her parting speech.
Moreover, Manufast CEO Clarence Cadivida introduces the new product line that will soon be launched to the market and other possible partnership opportunities.
On the other hand, the event theme was an all-pink Japan Hanami Festival, an event where people enjoy flower viewing. An event that denotes renewal and new beginnings which is highly relevant to Dear Self’s current status.
“We chose to have this theme because just like the meaning of Japan’s Hanami Festival, Dear Self Aesthetic and Wellness Center is now on another milestone where it can already stand on its own, operate well with all the trainings and the constant education, unti-unti rin nakikilala na sa aesthetic and wellness industry, so indeed a new beginning for the brand,” Mr. Ric Abasola, Dear Self’s Brand Ambassador, Marketing Consultant and one of the event’s hosts, mentioned.
Lastly, madam Tecson-Garalde sent her message of thanks to everyone who supported the company in many different ways, “Mama, papa Dennis, mga anak, Christian, Kenneth, Clarice, Michelle, Clarence, Mhean. Tecson and Garalde family, sir Ric, ma’am Amy, ma’am Jhezel, sir Wayne, our influencers at sa lahat ng kasama namin sa buhay at hanapbuhay Salamat.”
