The Philippines once again entered the Guinness World Records this 2018.
Vice Ganda led his Filipino fans who broke the world record for the largest gathering of people applying lipstick at the same time.
A representative of Guinness announced that 6,900 people were officially counted during the attempt held at the Araneta Coliseum last September 8.
The evening became an event to empower Pinoys as the It’s Showtime host reminded fans to be comfortable in their own skin regardless of their size and shape.
“Ano mang kulay yan, ano mang hugis yan, ano mang size yan, ano mang itsura niyan, basta beautiful yan katulad ko,” said Vice, eliciting cheers from the crowd.
The event dubbed as the Vice Ganda Music Festival featured bands and musicians such as Moira dela Torre, Darren Espanto, and Yeng Constantino, among others.
Fans could enter the event as long as they bought lipstick from Vice Ganda’s brand to avail of a ticket.
Vice Ganda opened his segment by performing Sia and David Guetta’s upbeat song “Beautiful People Say.”
Korina Sanchez was one of the celebrities invited to the event.
The representative from Guinness World Records (leftmost) told the crowd: “I can tell you that the number to beat was Mary Kay in China with 5,340 people.
“We had to disqualify 108 people,” he said about those who were present that night, but did not participate in the activity.”
