TUWANG-TUWA ang mga baguhang artistang may Down Syndrome ng pelikulang "I'mPerfect" dahil hindi pa man naipalalabas ang kanilang Metro Manila Film Festival 2025 entry ay mayroon na agad kumpanyang nagtiwala sa kanila at kinuha sila na maging endorsers - ang Nailandia, the fastest growing nail spa in the Philippines.

Kasunod ng matagumpay na mediacon ng "I'mPerfect" sa Gateway 2 Cineplex 16 noong Disyembre 14 ay naganap naman ang contract signing ng cast with Down Syndrome bilang endorsers ng Nailandia.

Present sa contract signing ang owner at CEO ng Nailandia na si Noreen Divina kasama ang Executive Producer ng "I'mPerfect" na si Sylvia Sanchez, na kabilang din sa cast ng pelikula.

Pinangunahan ng lead stars ng "I'mPerfect" na sina Earl Amaba at Krystel Go ang pagpirma sa kontrata kasama ang kanilang co-stars na katulad nila ay may Down Syndrome rin.

Masayang-masaya nga si Sylvia at proud para sa kanyang mga anak-anakan dahil sa kabila ng kanilang kundisyon ay may kumuha sa kanila na maging endorsers. Nagpapasalamat ang award-winning actress kay Noreen at sa Nailandia sa tiwalang ibinigay sa kanyang mga alaga, na talagang ipinagmamalaki niya. 

Confident din si Sylvia na masusundan pa ang first endorsement na ito ng kanyang mga anak-anakan lalo na kapag naipalabas na ang "I'mPerfect." Ibinalita pa niya na pinaghahandaan na rin nila ang fashion show ng mga alaga niya.

Present din sa contract signing ang mga magulang ng Down Syndrome actors, at nagpasalamat sa Nailandia at kay Sylvia.

Sa Facebook post naman ni Noreen, inamin ng Nailandia owner na hindi siya nagdalawang-isip na kuning endorsers ang "I'mPerfect" cast with Down Syndrome. Pero mas lalo pa raw siyang humanga at napamahal sa mga ito nang makasama niya sila sa contract signing.

Narito ang kabuuan ng FB post ni Noreen:

"When I was first asked if the cast of I’m Perfect—most especially the new actors with Down syndrome—could be endorsers of NAILANDIA, I didn’t hesitate. I said yes right away.

"NAILANDIA has long stood for advocacy: helping abandoned elders and children, supporting teachers, and reaching out to people in need. Embracing individuals with Down syndrome felt natural and right. It was never about money. It has always been about NAILANDIA’s long-standing commitment to inclusivity, compassion, and purpose.

"What I didn’t expect was how deeply this afternoon’s endorsement signing would move me. Watching these incredibly talented children sign their own contracts gave me literal goosebumps. One by one, they proudly wrote their names, and with each signature, the room grew quieter—and more emotional. Tears flowed freely. We cried because their love is genuine, pure, and unconditional. They reminded us of what truly matters.

"We are beyond grateful and honored to welcome them into the NAILANDIA family. We feel incredibly blessed.

"This is their very first endorsement and I know there will be a lot more brands who will follow🙏🏻

"Thank you, sis Shyr and Sylvia Sanchez, for trusting us and allowing us to be part of this meaningful journey. Thank You, Lord, for making this possible.

"This MMFF season, please watch I’m Perfect. I promise—you will fall in love with these children."

Directed by Sigrid Andrea Bernardo and produced by Nathan Studios, ang "I'mPerfect" ay ipalalabas sa mga sinehan simula sa Pasko, December 25, bilang bahagi ng Metro Manila Film Festival 2025.
