Lea Salonga Instagram – “It is quite a luxury to be able to look back, and it’s a range of things that I’ve done over a spread of so many years. Not a lot of people get to have this experience. Ageing is a luxury.” Recognising the importance of self-care for sustaining her passion, Lea Salonga prioritises it as essential for her well-being. Believing “one can’t pour from an empty cup,” she emphasises self-preservation for both personal and professional success. Acknowledging the demanding nature of her work, Lea practices a dedicated recharging ritual on her days off. This involves indulging in sleep, satisfying cravings, enjoying a glass of wine, and minimizing social interaction. She even prioritizes quiet time, playing video games with minimal communication, to fully decompress. Close friends and family, like Irene Dujunco-Stacy, Group Marketing Director of Facial Care Centre, understand and respect this routine, regularly checking in to ensure she prioritizes her well-being. This disciplined approach to self-care allows Salonga to maintain her phenomenal work ethic throughout her illustrious career. @facialcarectrph @msleasalonga Photography by Joseph Pascual Creative Direction & Words by Franz Sorilla IV Produced by Isabel Francisco, Dorynna Untivero & James Mayo Styling by Meg Manzano Hair & Makeup by Kusie Ho Photographer’s Assistant: Joey Alvero Styling Assistants: Shaine Serrano & Teresita Gabat Logistics: Mikki Soriano & Johannah Reglos Videography by Dan Pablo Cover Design by Jon Hipe Location: The Theater at Solaire #TatlerPhilippines #tatlerentertainment
