Tell us a little about you. Who is Ica & what’s her vibe when she’s not busy exploring beaches?
I’m a full time PR girlie who loves the buzz of events and connecting with people. When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me staying active. I play volleyball and pickleball for fun, and I’m always up for anything that gets me moving.
What are your favorite beaches in the Philippines, and why do they stand out for you?
One of my top favorites is Bantayan Island in Cebu. I love how serene and peaceful it is—no huge crowds, just quiet shores and calm waters. It’s the kind of beach that makes you slow down and really take it all in. A closer beach I also love is Liwliwa in Zambales. It has such a laid-back vibe, and it’s always fun to explore the local food spots, grab drinks, and just hang out by the shore.
Before getting laser hair removal, what was your underarm routine like when traveling?
I’d usually book a waxing session before a trip, just to make sure I was all set for beach days.

If you could only visit one more beach in the Philippines this year, where would it be and why?
Siargao is at the top of my list! I’ve been wanting to go for so long, and it just feels like the perfect mix of adventure and chill. Between the surf, the island-hopping, and those sunsets by the shore, I know it’s the kind of place I’d fall in love with right away.
