Did you know that one of Hidilyn Diaz’s confidence boosters in her weightlifting competitions is a swipe of bold, dark red lipstick? And one of her go-tos, which she also brought during the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, is from a local brand, Ever Bilena‘s Siennas collection.
After taking home the Philippine’s first-ever gold, Ever Bilena Cosmetics, Inc. Chief Sales & Marketing Officer Denice Sy wasted no time personally congratulating the weightlifting champion.

Ever Bilena president and CEO Dioceldo Sy also sent his congratulations to Hidilyn through a Facebook post, “We are very proud of Hidilyn’s gold medal in the recent Tokyo Olympics. We hope that this will inspire all other Filipino athletes to work hard and push their limits. Together, nothing is impossible! We hope you enjoy your P1,000,000 worth of products from your EBCI Family.”
Dubbed as the Father of Philippine Cosmetics, Dioceldo established Ever Bilena Cosmetics, Inc. in 1983. Through his determination to succeed and mentoring from tycoons Henry Sy and John Gokongwei, what started as a nail polish brand soon became a powerhouse cosmetics company offering a complete range of color cosmetics, skincare, grooming, fragrances, and home care products.
