Part na talaga siya ng laundry routine ko, at for sure, ng laundry routine nating mga Pilipino.”

Pia exchanged smiles and laughs with the audience, especially during the fun-filled games portion of the program, where the participants were asked to identify a particular Downy variant based on smell. They were able to accomplish the task easily thanks to Downy’s unique scents, proving that Downy is indeed the most trusted brand of Filipino families throughout the years.

The beauty queen, who is also a model and an advocate, also kept the host and the crowd guessing on her fragrant smell.

Pia eventually revealed through

Meanwhile, Downy French Lavender and Downy Blissful Blossom present a soft and refreshing scent that lasts all-day.

Pia shared that her personal favorite is Downy Passion, which attendees got a whiff of after the iconic beauty queen indulged them with a signature pageant walk.

The deal was completed with a base value of EUR 406 million (PHP 24.4 billion). The final consideration is subject to one-toone adjustment based on the equity book value at closing of the transaction.

Together with our new shareholders, we are opening the next chapter for Home Credit Philippines, building on the high performance that we have set over the past nine years. We are optimistic of our future together,” shared David Minol, Home Credit Philippines’ CEO.

“The acquisition of Home Credit Philippines is a testament to the strong business it has established in the country and the growth opportunity that Krungsri and MUFG have seen for the company to further expand and maintain its dominance in the local consumer finance market,” Minol added.
