A distinguished lawyer, professor, and a well-accomplished media mogul, Annette Gozon-Valdes epitomizes Filipina beauty who broke the glass ceiling in many fields dominated mainly by men in the Philippines.
Now a Senior Vice-President of the country’s largest media and television network GMA, Annette never looked at her gender as a hindrance to what she wanted to achieve in her personal and professional life.
Her almost twenty-five years in the industry and many successes are a testament to her Midas touch. Nearly every project she dipped her hands into was trailblazing and profitable.
Filipino-dubbed Korean dramas, Mexican telenovelas, groundbreaking historical Pinoy dramas, and action-packed animes are some of her most note-worthy glories.
That is why some industry insiders call her GMA’s secret weapon, the beautiful genius.
Now that her entertainment media conglomerate has sat at number 1 for many years, what is next for Annette? Well, she said many, many things! As she is not resting on her laurels.
And do not be deceived by her radiant, cordial beauty. This executive is a warrior and has set her eyes on expanding content to the international arena.
And, oh boy, are we ready for that?
Always be at your best with K-Pads
Since she assumed a managing post in 2000, Annette has never ceased to promote and institute excellence in her work, the fruit of which is evident in her exciting upcoming projects.
Her daily schedule is jampacked more than ever, and her reliable weapon to feel and look in tip-top shape is JC’s K-Pads Panty Liner with Active Oxygen & Negative Ion & Far-IR.
“Hi, I’m Annette Gozon Valdes. I’m 51 years old. And I work for the GMA network. Of course, I always have to ensure I’m clean and fresh the whole day because I work from morning until night. Of course, you always want to be fresh,” she said.
Although aware of the product, a friend needed to demonstrate how it works to pique her curiosity and convince her to try it.
“Actually, I’ve been hearing about K-Pads from my friends, and I didn’t know anything about it, and then one of my friends showed me a demo, and I was quite impressed, and I didn’t know anything about it because of my curiosity. I tried out the product, and I was pleasantly surprised. It made me feel fresher. It made me more energetic the whole day,” she said.
She said the icy cool feeling pleasantly surprised her.
“I was really surprised when I first used K-Pads. It had this cooling effect that I had never experienced with any other pads, and it stayed that way the whole day. So it made me feel fresh from morning until night,” she said.
K-Pads is the first anti-dysmenorrhea napkin with anion (a negatively charged ion) capabilities.
The embedded negative ion strip can increase energy, enhance immunity, regulate and lessen heavy periods, balance hormones and mood, and kill bacteria-causing odor. It also has eight layers to prevent any leakage during heavy menstrual periods.
Aside from reducing irritation and odor, it helps accelerate oxygen circulation in the private parts. The pad also can release negative ions up to 6100/cm3 and absorb and hold liquid up to 120-150 ml.
But what makes K-Pads phenomenal is the icy-cool and winter freshness feeling due to the menthol and camphor in the middle of the napkin.
Annette says her newly found crisp feeling brought her A-game during her heavy period and kept her cheerful disposition. Celebrities and production people attest to how approachable and helpful Annette is.
“I think my moods become more constant even in the afternoon, even in the evening. I was still feeling okay. Fresh, energetic, and less stressed, I don’t know if that’s attributable to K-Pads. But I really notice a difference in the mood for the positive,” she said.
Annette even compared her K-Pads with the leading brand in the market and realized the immense advantage of the product: “You can feel the difference when you use K-Pads. You can feel it. There’s also a long-lasting effect. I like the product because it made me feel healthier when I started using it.”
A more confident, healthier you
Annette admitted growing up with lots of energy and drive to excel not only in academics and leadership roles but also in various activities. When she was younger, she joined a school beauty pageant and competitive sports to push her body and come to terms with what she is capable of as a woman.
Now, we only see Annette, a staple cover of beauty magazines and a stylish presence at society parties. But, she admits, she still has to maintain her confidence.
That is why discovering JC’s K-Pads Panty Liner with Active Oxygen & Negative Ion & Far-IR is like a veil of comfort for her, especially when she gets to check the health of her reproductive parts.
When you buy K-Pads, you get a free self-test card worth P150-P200 in the drugstore — a free card for every woman’s genital care needs.
These test cards can help K-Pad users monitor the health of their body, especially the reproductive parts area.
And since the made-in-Japan K-Pads have a unique anion chip, it provides relief and comfort for women, including dysmenorrhea. According to medical reports, dysmenorrhea is a common menstrual complaint that significantly impacts women’s quality of life, work productivity, and healthcare utilization.
Aside from dysmenorrhea, the anion is said to help in managing symptoms of PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome), delayed pregnancy, UTI (urinary tract infection), myoma, endometriosis, men’s problems, some form of bacterial & viral infections, and other abnormalities.

A game changer in the Kering-Keri Squad
Annette Gozon-Valdes’ recent promotion to senior vice-president position is a step closer to expanding her influence to the Filipino content makers industry.
Recently, she led alliance meetings with local squads to bring Filipino content for world dominance. As a result, producers from a rival network are now collaborating with her for groundbreaking projects, which was something impossible to imagine two decades back.
“There is no more (network) war,” Annette said in an interview.
Although “collaboration” is one of her operative words, she admits not seeing the day she will do a project with competitors, whom she “respects a lot.”
Annette, known for her visionary leadership, says the challenge right now is foreign companies, not other Filipino producers.
“The idea now is we have so many competitors worldwide, we should be just be one Philippines. We should unite Philippine content and not fight amongst ourselves,” she said, emphasizing that coming together and helping each other will be better for the Filipino audience and the industry.
And since Annette learned of the sensational K-Pads Negative Ion from empowered, successful women like her, she plans to help grow the band of sisters, the Kering-Keri Squad, that has benefited from the incredible product.
“Yes, I am already part of the kering-keri squad, and I would recommend it to my friends. Again I’m Annette Gozon-Valdes. Always be at your best with K-Pads.”
To experience K-Pads and, like Annette Gozon-Valdes, be a member of the Kering-Keri squad, avail of napkins with anion from your nearest JC Premiere outlets.
