As we celebrate the Philippines’ Independence Day on June 12, 2024, it’s time to honor the remarkable women who have become modern-day heroes—our “she-roes.” These inspiring figures are paving the way for future generations, empowering young girls and women to break barriers and excel in every field. This Independence Day, we spotlight two extraordinary she-roes, Cat Triviño and Teia Isabella Salvino, whose dedication and achievements exemplify the strength and resilience of Filipino women.
Cat Triviño, a true embodiment of a she-roe, has made significant strides in promoting sustainability and mental health in the Philippines. As the Communications Director at CORA Philippines and co-founder of MindNation, her initiatives range from organizing ocean clean-ups to hosting empowering talks. Her tireless efforts have earned her the recognition of being a Tatler GenT 2024 Honouree in the Sustainability Category. Beyond her professional achievements, Cat also serves as Asia Dive Expo (ADEX) Ocean Ambassador for the Philippines, spending extensive time in the water. This exposure necessitates special hair care, and Cat relies on Revlon Professional™ to maintain her signature vibrant look. She uses Nutri Color Filters 500 Purple Red weekly to refresh her color, along with RE/START™ Color Protective Micellar Shampoo and Color Protective Melting Conditioner daily. These products, infused with natural açai extract, prevent color fading and keep her hair looking radiant. Cat’s commitment to sustainability and her personal care routine with Revlon Professional™ exemplify how women can balance impactful careers with self-care, serving as an inspiration to many.
Teia Isabella Salvino, another inspiring she-roe, has made waves both in and out of the pool. As a competitive swimmer on the Philippine National Team, Teia earned an impressive five medals at the 2023 SEA Games in Cambodia and is set to compete in the world championships in Doha, Qatar, in 2024. Despite training in California with the Mission Viejo Nadadores, she proudly represents the Philippines on the international stage. Frequent swimming can leave her hair dry and damaged, but like Cat Triviño, Teia turns to Revlon Professional™ for her hair care needs. To maintain her hair’s health and strength, she uses the RE/START™ Hydration Moisture Rich Mask for deep conditioning and RE/START™ Hydration Moisture Micellar Shampoo and Moisture Melting Conditioner for daily care. These products, infused with betaine and pro-vitamin B5, keep her hair hydrated and manageable. Both Teia and Cat demonstrate how Revlon Professional™ supports women in maintaining their hair’s vitality, allowing them to focus on their passions and continue to inspire others with their dedication and achievements.
As we honor these incredible she-roes on the Philippines’ Independence Day, Cat Triviño and Teia Isabella Salvino exemplify the strength, resilience, and brilliance of Filipino women. Their dedication to their respective fields—whether it’s advocating for sustainability and mental health or achieving excellence in competitive swimming—serves as a beacon of inspiration for future generations. With the support of brands like Revlon Professional™, which provides essential care to help them maintain their vibrant and healthy hair, these women are empowered to continue their impactful work without compromise. Cat and Teia’s stories remind us that with passion, perseverance, and the right support, women can break barriers and lead with confidence. As we celebrate our nation’s independence, let’s also celebrate the unstoppable spirit of our she-roes who make the Philippines proud.
