PIPOL MGZN proudly launches “Face of the Year”, a special category under the prestigious VP Choice Awards, spotlighting the country’s most beautiful faces. This initiative honors individuals who embody beauty with grace, elegance, originality, and confidence, as seen through the eyes of the Filipino audience—the Pipol’s Choice.
The search highlights both male and female personalities with a powerful public presence—those whose beauty radiates beyond physical appearance.
This exciting addition expands the growing roster of individuals and public figures truly worthy of recognition at the VP Choice Awards.
