Photo by Josh Mercado</div>Two prominent stars in the beauty world--Heart Evangelista and Catriona Gray--recently discussed lip enhancement and liposuction procedures. While some applaud their honesty, others don&#x27;t understand why they had to do it given they are both already attractive.In the instance of Evangelista, she had to do it because her first lip enhancement failed and &quot;traumatized&quot; her, whereas Gray had liposuction on the back of her arms to increase her confidence.Stories about cosmetic enhancements continue to circulate in showbiz, with social media users remarking on them. Sexy-actress Rhen Escaño, known for her roles in &quot;Adan,&quot; &quot;Bullet Day,&quot; &quot;Karma,&quot; and &quot;Paraluman,&quot; believes that the public should respect stars&#x27; choices regarding their bodies.In response to a question on beauty enhancements, Escaño said: &quot;Honestly, napakagagandang mga babae na ito at kung iyon ang way nila para masabi nila sa sarili nila na maganda sila, self-love, self-care, at &#x27;yun ang way nila then, [why not]?&quot;Calling out critics, she added, &quot;Pera niyo ba &#x27;yun?  Katawan niyo ba &#x27;yun?  Kung doon sila masaya at hangga&#x27;t wala silang inaapakang tao at walang nasasaktan, out tayo diyan kung doon sila masaya.&quot;The Filipino actress and influencer continued by emphasizing how beauty treatments can help people feel more confident.&quot;As long as nakakatulong [sa pag-build up] ng confidence mo, okay lang. Very [vocal] na nga, eh. Makikita mo na lang sa TikTok &#x27;yung mga tao sa journey nila [before and after]. Walang masama. Masama kung nagnakaw ka, nanapak ka ng ibang tao,&quot; she said. She added: &quot;Itong mga taong ‘to, gusto lang naman nila ng enhancement, anong masama? For me, go kung self-love at kung makaka-inspire ka, mabu-boost &#x27;yung confidence mo. Go, girls. Ang gaganda n&#x27;yo. Ina-admire ko &#x27;tong mga babaeng &#x27;to. Hindi nila deserve ma-bash.&quot;Escaño also said that if necessary, she is willing to have such treatments.<div>Responsible gaming </div>The Viva actress recently renewed her contract with PAGCOR-certified gaming platforms CC6 and FunBingo. Present at the press conference were Dhevy Sahagun, B’Vibes Entertainment Production, and JAF Digital Group executives. Following beauty queen Lars Pacheco&#x27;s viral revelation that she lost P5 million in online gaming, Escaño also joined the call for responsible gaming. The promotion of online gaming also led to criticism of other A-list celebrity endorsers.&quot;Hindi ko po sinasabi na walang masama sa online gaming. Hindi &#x27;yun &#x27;yung unang words na maririnig nila sa akin. Parati kong sinasabi na okay lang &#x27;yan pero may part diyan na hindi na magiging okay kapag hindi ka na nakukuntento. Learn how to stop. Ito, dapat for fun &#x27;to, dapat makakatanggal &#x27;to ng stress sa &#x27;tin kapag masyadong heavy &#x27;yung work load, kapag masyado tayong stressed. Hindi siya dapat nagiging cause ng stress,&quot; she said.Escaño started the brand&#x27;s charitable endeavors as part of her contract, which included visiting underprivileged areas, distributing food kits, helping typhoon victims, planting trees, and assisting abused women.&quot;Every Sunday, every weekend, I look forward na may pinupuntahan kaming area, and ang lagi kong pinipili &#x27;yung maraming kids. Kasi pagpunta pa lang namin dun, kahit mahaba ang byahe, kahit nakakapagod siya, nawawala stress ko sa buhay. Nawawala marami kong iniisip &#x27;pag nakikita ko ngiti nila,&quot; she told the press.She added, &quot;Ang pinaka-memorable sa akin was last year nung pumunta kami sa Aeta community. May isang bata dun na nakita ko &#x27;yung food na binigay namin, nakapatong lang sa armchair. Tinanong namin bakit hindi nya kinakain &#x27;yung food. Ang weird. Hindi niya kinakain. Tapos sabi niya, &#x27;Iuuwi ko na lang po para maibigay sa kapatid ko at nanay ko.&#x27; Doon ako parang na-touch. &#x27;Di ba? Ito &#x27;yung mga klase ng tao na hindi ko palagi nami-meet na mata-touch buhay mo.&quot;Regarding her upcoming showbiz projects, Escaño revealed that she is now working on new projects and would soon share them with her followers.
