The old joke about her “TDH” was a throwback to the reality show that made her a star. When she first became widely known through “Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition,” fans knew Shuvee Etrata’s type was simple: tall, dark, and handsome. But as she stood under the bright lights of her new brand launch, she was ready to flip the script entirely. The beginning of her “Femme Era” was a direct reflection of who she is, a deliberate step into her own spotlight.
On a stage bathed in pink, her look was perfectly polished, but Shuvee’s charm wasn’t in her poise. It was in her candid answers and the easy laughter that filled the room. The setting was undeniably elegant, a sea of her favorite color creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. She approached the endorsement with a story to share.
“Of course, I choose my endorsements. I value quality, I value loyalty,” she told the room, her voice full of conviction. For her, the business decision to align with Femme — a Filipino hygiene brand offering accessible care for men and women — and become its newest brand ambassador was also a deeply personal statement. She had been using the company’s products for a long time and wanted people to know that the partnership was an authentic reflection of who she was.
Her words echoed the spirit of Femme’s campaign, “Pinipili ng Praktikal.” Practicality, for Shuvee, means choosing what she genuinely enjoys and can stand behind while still being mindful of quality. This way of thinking was rooted in her humble beginnings, where every decision, no matter how small, was a lesson that informed her values long before the cameras found her. Now, as she works toward her dreams for her family, that sense of practicality has only become stronger.
And that brought her back to TDH. What was once a playful acronym about a crush now carries a deeper meaning. For Shuvee, her “Femme Era” TDH stands for something far more personal: “tipid,” “dependable,” and “hayahay.”
Each of these qualities ties back to both her personal journey and Femme’s promise. “Tipid” speaks to a childhood spent on a shoestring budget, a lesson in being savvy without compromising on quality. “Dependable” highlights the reliability of a product you can count on, and the kind of person she strives to be for her audience. And “hayahay,” a Bisaya word she holds close, captures the effortless ease and comfort that comes from making choices she feels good about.
She rose to fame as the “Nation’s Darling,” but Shuvee has gracefully handled the spotlight to build a legacy on her own terms. This new chapter, her “Femme Era,” is a testament to her self-defined legacy, a reminder that the “me” in “Femme” isn’t just part of the brand, but the very essence of Shuvee that never changes. — WALPHS.com
