Primetime Queen Marian Rivera has the means to buy everything in cash, but she revealed that she also used credit for her family's needs.

During a recent media conference for her latest endorsement in Quezon City, Marian mentioned that she needed to use credit to recommend it to her kasambahay and friends.

"Para ito sa mga mahal ko sa buhay. Paano ko sasabihin na subukan nila ito kung hindi ko susubukan? Kung sarili ko lang ang iniisip ko, hindi ko ito i-endorse. Pero dahil marami akong mahal sa buhay, gagawin ko yan dahil 100 percent ang tiwala ko sa kanila," said Marian when she renewed her endorsement for Home Credit Philippines (HCPH).

Marian mentioned purchasing gadgets for her children and cell phones for other household members through the financing scheme.

The award-winning actress also shared advice on managing credit, saying creditors should prioritize their needs before seeking credit.

"Minsan mahirap yan kung na-o-overwhelm ka kung ano ang gusto mong bilhin. Pero siguro maging wise tayo sa pag-iisip kung ano ba talaga yung kinakailangan nating bilhin.

"Hindi porke may mga offer at pagkakataon go lang tayo. As a mom, iniisip ko muna kung ano ba ang kakailanganin sa school like laptops. 

"May mga school na hindi na masyadong gumagamit ng books kundi gadgets na. Bilang parents inuuna muna natin yung pagkain para sa family. Pero ngayon dapat nating isipin ano ba ang priority natin," she added.

Marian agreed to continue her reign as the face of the country’s leading consumer finance company for two more years. Her return isn't just a routine endorsement—it's a bold statement about trust and her unwavering commitment to a brand that empowers Filipinos.

“A trusted brand ambassador is more than just a face—they reflect the values and integrity that drive one’s brand’s growth. When a respected individual endorses our company, it sends a powerful message to our customers that their trust is valued and their well-being is a priority.

This renewal of the partnership with Marian, known for her credibility and longevity in the entertainment industry, aligns with Home Credit’s drive for trust and our commitment to being the Filipinos’ financial ally,” remarked Sheila Paul, HCPH Chief Marketing Officer.

As part of its immediate response to the recent typhoon that has impacted many lives across the country, HCPH also announced during the event that it will be making a financial contribution to a trusted charity close to Marian’s heart, the GMA Kapuso Foundation, to support relief efforts for those who were affected.

“Home Credit is committed to assisting those in need. Apart from our donation, we hope that our products, such as Home Credit Protect, will provide some relief during this difficult time. Whether it’s through home coverage plans or loan flexibility features, we want our customers to know that we are here to support them through every challenge,” Zdenek Jankovsky, HCPH Chief Business Development Officer, concluded.
