Winning titles and awards is not new to Joyce, who is also a fashion designer. In 2000, she was named Mrs. Philippines-Germany, and in 2013, she was chosen as Magnificent Women Icon Philippines.
Other honors she’s receieved are the Asian Achiever award as Outstanding Fashion Icon from the Asia Pacific Council; the 2014 Dangal ng Bayan award; and the 2014 Seal of Excellence award.
Joyce’s ultimate dream is to establish an international fashion brand with Angelina Jolie as signature model. Local celebrities who’ve worn Joyce’s clothes include Solenn Heusaff, Mikee Cojuangco-Jaworski and Miss World Megan Young.
WHAT’S IN A KISS – BETWEEN FRIENDS, THAT IS
Her kissing scene with Matteo Guidecelli in Regal Entertainment’s “Somebody to Love,” opening tomorrow, Aug. 20, is no big deal for Isabelle Daza. After all, she considers the actor a “good friend.”
Matteo and Isabelle have known each other for some time now because of their mutual love for triathlon. Isabelle, however, missed the recent one in Cebu because of her hectic schedule. She is in three GMA-7 shows – “Eat Bulaga,” “Taste Buds” and “Niño.”
More, she is also doing three movies: “Mara,” “Kubot” and the sequel to “Aswang Chronicles.”
The increasingly busy Isabelle received the Best New Film Actress award from the PMPC last year for her performance in “It Takes a Man and a Woman.”
