MANILA, Philippines — “Strong women should really lift up each other.”
That statement was what Bianca Lapuz emphasized in the recent launch of the second issue of Top Shelf Magazine, with businesswoman Lyn Macanas on the cover.
“I also went through a lot as a woman,” Bianca admitted. “I went through a lot of ups and downs and I also became a single mother. That’s why I can relate to the story of Lyn Macanas. I am very inspired with her story.”
Bianca is one of the owners and the marketing director of Velvet Media, which publishes Top Shelf Magazine. Engineer JJ Maghirang is the president and Jhovs Medico is the editor-in-chief. The magazine was launched in October last year, with singer Gigi de Lana on the cover of the maiden issue.
“Velvet Media ventured into publishing because we started in photos and video coverage, weddings, events,” Bianca said. “We evolved and last year, we went into publishing.”
Doing corporate work is something new for Bianca, who originally came from showbiz. She previously acted on TV and the movies.
Then, she got married to Vhong Navarro and they have a son, Isaiah, now 23.
Bianca and Vhong were together for only three years. “But we’re friends until now,” she said. “Even with what Vhong went through lately, I was with him. Wala kaming iwanan.”
She has no plans to resume her showbiz career as she is now enjoying her corporate life. She is a hands-on mom and a breastfeeding advocate.
Last month, though, she welcomed a guesting stint on GMA 7’s weekly sitcom, Pepito Manaloto. Her last acting stint was in Maalaala Mo Kaya on ABS-CBN.
Bianca represents Team Velvet. “Our team is an experienced production and now a publishing company dedicated to creating content that connects brands with their audiences,” she informed.
“Velvet Media provides creative solutions and we pride ourselves in having long-term trusted clients. That’s truly our trademark. We have a lot of plans and inspiring stories that we will feature in the coming months.”
