Viyline Media Group and Hikari Skin Essentials have officially joined forces for Team Payaman Fair 2026: VIYond the Beat marking an exciting collaboration between two companies united by a shared vision of creating meaningful experiences, empowering communities, and inspiring Filipinos through success and service.
The partnership brings Viyline’s CEO and Founder, Viy Cortez-Velasquez, together with Viyline’s President and General Manager, Mr. Rolando Bañaria Cortez, along with Michael Almazan, President and Brand Owner of Hikari Skin Essentials, and S. Ralph Lim, CEO and Co-Founder of the brand. Also joining them at the signing table as a witness to the momentous occasion was Team Payaman Headmaster Mr. Lincoln Velasquez, also known as Cong TV.
Through this collaboration, Hikari Skin Essentials joins the highly anticipated Team Payaman Fair 2026 as a co-presenter and official skincare brand partner bringing its commitment to quality, affordability, and consumer engagement to the event.
More than a business agreement, the partnership reflects a shared belief that success becomes more meaningful when it creates opportunities for others, brings people together, and makes a positive difference in their lives.
Shared Values and Genuine Connections
For Michael Rey Almazan, the decision to participate in Team Payaman Fair 2026 came personally, particularly because of the opportunity to work alongside Viy, Cong, and Team Payaman.
“Hindi mahirap ang naging desisyon na sumama sa Team Payaman Fair 2026, especially na makakasama natin dito si Viy, Cong at Team Payaman,” Michael shared.
He explained that Hikari Skin Essentials and Team Payaman share the same values, particularly the belief that success is more fulfilling when it is shared with others.
“Masarap sa pakiramdam namin na umaangat tayo, may nakakasama tayo na umaangat din na tao, mga natutulungan at lalong-lalo na mga napapasaya natin sila,” He added.
This shared perspective serves as the foundation of the partnership. For both companies, achievement goes beyond business growth. It also means creating opportunities, supporting fellow Filipinos, and reaching more people through initiatives that bring happiness and inspiration.
Michael also recalled the moment Viy presented the opportunity to collaborate. Despite having a photoshoot scheduled, Viy patiently waited for two to three hours to discuss the partnership. The gesture left a lasting impression on Michael and Ralph—who saw her persistence as a reflection of her sincerity and commitment.
Moved by Viy’s dedication, Michael recalled that they readily agreed to the proposal even before hearing the full presentation.
“Having Ms. Viy na mag-present with that kind of patience and perseverance, alam na naming nasa tamang partnership kami,” He said.
For Hikari Skin Essentials, that moment affirmed that the collaboration was built on genuine intentions and a shared desire to make a difference.
Bringing Meaningful Experiences to TP Fair
As the co-presenter and official skincare brand partner of Team Payaman Fair 2026, Hikari Skin Essentials is preparing an engaging experience that goes beyond showcasing its products. The brand aims to bring quality, affordability, and exciting activities to attendees while strengthening its connection with consumers and the wider Hikari community.
According to S. Ralph Lim, one of the brand’s core commitments is making quality products accessible without compromising affordability.
“Isa sa mga pinagmamalaki ng Hikari Skin Essentials ay ang quality yet affordable na products,” Ralph explained.
Attendees can look forward to a wide selection of Hikari skincare products and supplements, alongside special prizes, promotional offers, and discounted items. The brand also plans to bring together members of the Hikari family, including its distributors, ambassadors, creators, and influencers, giving visitors an opportunity to connect with the people behind the brand.
Michael Rey Almazan emphasized that the fair will be an opportunity for consumers to enjoy their favorite Hikari products at special prices while experiencing the event alongside the Team Payaman.
With exciting surprises and activities in store, Hikari Skin Essentials hopes to make its booth a memorable destination for attendees. More importantly, the brand seeks to create meaningful interactions that reflect its commitment to quality, affordability, and consumer engagement.
A Full-Circle Moment
For Ralph Lim, the partnership carries a deeply personal meaning.
He recalled how, during the pandemic, he and the Hikari team watched Viy and Cong’s vlogs and admired the happiness they brought to their audience. At the time, they were still selling items from Divisoria, and Viyline was among the companies they looked up to.
Today, standing alongside the people they once admired represents a significant milestone in their journey.
“Parang di mo ever maiisip na katabi na lang namin siya ngayon,” Ralph shared, expressing his happiness at how far they have come.
The experience is a reminder that growth often begins with small steps, persistence, and the willingness to pursue opportunities even when success still feels distant.
Ralph also acknowledged the challenges faced by many Filipinos and businesses amid difficult economic conditions. In this environment, he believes the purpose behind Team Payaman Fair is to make December happier for everyone and makes the event particularly meaningful.
“Alam namin ang pinaka-genuine purpose ng Team Payaman ay maging masaya ang December ng bawat isa,” He said.
For the Hikari Skin Essentials team, supporting the fair is a way of contributing to that purpose and helping bring joy to people who deserve a reason to celebrate.
Ralph further expressed the brand’s willingness to support future initiatives organized by Viyline Media Group, emphasizing that the partnership extends beyond a single event.
Looking Ahead
As Team Payaman Fair 2026: VIYond the Beat approaches, Viyline Media Group and Hikari Skin Essentials look forward to bringing their shared vision to life through a collaboration centered on community, inspiration, and meaningful engagement.
For Michael, the partnership is an opportunity to reach more people and demonstrate what can be accomplished when organizations work toward a common purpose.
“Kasi dati, pinapanood lang namin ito, eh. Pero ngayon, nandito na kami kasama ninyo,” He shared.
He also emphasized a belief that resonates with the spirit of Team Payaman: if they were able to reach their current position through hard work and perseverance, others can pursue their own aspirations as well.
“Kung kaya namin, kaya nating lahat,” Michael said.
That message captures the heart of this collaboration. By bringing together the influence of Team Payaman, the vision of Viyline Media Group of Companies, and the commitment of Hikari Skin Essentials, the partnership aims to create an environment where success inspires others, opportunities become more accessible, and happiness is shared.
As Michael and Ralph expressed their gratitude to Viy for her trust and for the opportunity to be part of the event, they also reaffirmed their excitement for what the partnership can accomplish.
With Hikari Skin Essentials joining as co-presenter and official skincare brand partner, Team Payaman Fair 2026: VIYond the Beat promises to be more than a gathering. It represents the power of collaboration, the value of staying true to one’s purpose, and the impact of celebrating success together.
