LOOK: Gabbi Garcia is First Filipina to Become Pantene’s Ambassador for Asia, TVC to Air in 10 Countries
Endorsing international haircare brand Pantene is a dream come true for GMA Artist Center’s Gabbi Garcia. Bagging the role became extra special for our Kapuso actress as she stars in a TV commercial that will air in 10 countries. At 18, Gabbi is the first Filipina to be Pantene’s ambassador for Asia. Coincidentally, Encantadia’s Sang’gre Alena is also top fashion magazine Preview‘s cover girl for April. Gabbi found herself the subject of collaboration between two major brands this month.
In a bloggers’ conference held earlier this month, Gabbi happily shared her shoot experience abroad. She flew all the way to Australia for the print and TVC campaign and got to work with award-winning photographer and filmmaker Olivier Staub, Sydney-based Hollywood stylist Ellie Goodman, celebrity hair stylist Ken Arthur, and top Filipino makeup artist Robbie Piñera. Gabbi got all giddy spilling all the details and expressed gratitude for getting these huge breaks at this point in her career. She pays tribute to her home network GMA and management team Artist Center for taking care of her and ensuring she gets the best (and her dream) projects. At such a young age, Gabbi is more than thrilled to have found her place in the industry. She sounded so driven to maximize the opportunities coming her way. After all, all these are products of her patience and hard work. Way to go, Gabbi!
Here’s Gabbi’s Pantene TVC to be aired in places including the Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Australia. Watch her interview highlights to get to know more about the experience.
