Francine Diaz’s hosting stint on It’s Your Lucky Day is both short and sweet.
“Naku masayang-masaya po ako. Kanina po, last day ko…next week, wala na po ako doon,” she tells PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) and other members of the press at the launch of her two Bench Scents on October 20, 2023.
She continues, “Masaya po ako naging parte ako for one week sa Lucky Day, grabe po, hindi ko po ine-expect na mai-enjoy ko yung paghu-host ko.”
The young star hopes similar gigs will come her way.
During her Q and A with event host Marlo Mortel, she says, “Nakikita ko po yung sarili as host. Na kaya ko pala siyang gawin, and gusto ko siyang matutunan.”
What’s her favorite part about being a co-host in the noontime show that temporarily replaces It’s Showtime?
Francine replies, “Yun pong nalalaman ko rin yung kuwento ng ibang tao kasi kung minsan, parang na-o-overwhelm din ako sa mga problems ko sa buhay.
“Akala ko ang hirap-hirap ng pinagdadaanan ko, pero kapag ka nalalaman ko yung istorya nila, doon ko mas na-re-realize na dapat mas maging grateful ako kasi hindi naman… sobrang hirap po talaga ng buhay ng ibang tao.
“Kaya sobrang grateful po ako kasi lahat ng prayers ko nasasagot ni Lord.”
FRANCINE’S BLESSINGS
Among her greatest blessings of late is the launch of her Bench scents, Spring Day and Royal Dream.
Smiling from ear to ear, she exclaims, “Hilig ko ang pabango. Kada oras, naliligo ako sa pabango.”
What began as an idea at the Bench Tower many years ago culminated into a fan meet at the TriNoma Activity Center.
Francine recalls, “Actually akala ko nga po baka hindi na matuloy for some reason kasi medyo mahirap po pala talaga mamili ng scent natin.
“Siyempre, sa packaging pa lang, sa bote, sa lahat, design…
“So yun po, ang hirap talaga.”
Did she have a hand in choosing the scents?
“Yung sa amoy po, pinapadalhan nila ako ng mga matatamis na scents na puwede kong pagpilian.
“Mahilig po ako sa matatamis, sa floral scents, so, natutuwa po ako kasi finally nandito na.
“Nakapili na ako at puwede nang magamit ko rin araw-araw.”
What was her reaction upon finally seeing the perfume box?
