“I am very happy with my life,” says the news anchor, TV host, actress, and entrepreneur. Dianne Medina who is a devout Catholic and admits centering her life around Christ, which she believes gives her inner joy.
“I have a very rich spiritual life. I serve in the church every Sunday as a lector/commentator. I go to the Adoration Chapel every day after work to have a half-hour quiet time with the Lord Jesus. Kahit may work, I really go every day,” adds Dianne, who is also very contented with her love life, celebrating her and her boyfriend’s 8th anniversary this year.
It is her social life that may have taken a back seat because of her busy schedule. Dianne juggles so many roles – she is a news anchor of “Good Morning Boss” at the People’s Television Network, a live segment host for Ever Bilena at Unang Hirit in GMA 7 every morning, an actress at GMA’s new teleserye “Beautiful Strangers,” and a proud owner of her own events company.
Dianne started in show business when she won the Wazzup Wazzup news comedy show contest that secured for her a contract in Studio 23. That time, she was also doing her on-the-job training in ABS-CBN. Director Edgar Mortiz noticed her and listed her up for the youth-oriented show Let’s Go with Alex Gonzaga, Bangs Garcia and Charee Pineda.
From showbiz, she learned to not be very sensitive. To battle show business’ cutthroat competition, Dianne says she learned to be a fighter and to always pray.
Dianne won the PNP Individual Media Award for Hosting and the Volunteers Against Crime and Corruption (VACC) Award for Best Outstanding News Anchor, achievements that she is most proud of. She was also nominated as Best Morning Show Host at the Star Awards.
Outside showbiz, Dianne is proud to be able to help different foundations such as Child Haus Foundation for children with cancer, the Philippine Orthopedic Center, the Philippine Cancer Society, and serving the church as part of the lector/commentator ministry.
Dianne got her big heart from her mother, her inspiration, who she considers a “living miracle” when she was still alive. Dianne’s mother passed away four years ago, after a 10-year battle with cancer.
“Kahit may sakit siya, she was still working for her family. She served the church as the president of the education ministry and as a lector/commentator. Si mommy talaga ang naglapit sa amin kay Jesus Christ. She was in pain all throughout but she never complained; instead she thanked God for everything,” shares Dianne.
Amidst her very busy schedule, Dianne finds time to relax by going to YSA Skin Care Experts for her regular facial massage. She also avails of home service massage, and goes on movie and dinner dates with her loved ones.
“Simple lang ako. Movie, coffee and dinner. I don’t like clubbing, bars etc. I don’t drink and I don’t smoke,” she says.
Ever since Dianne started in showbiz, YSA has taken care of her skin. Dianne believes that YSA has the best and most advanced skin care technologies.
“YSA will not just take good care of your skin, maganda sa kanila yung relationship nila sa ‘yo talagang aalagaan ka. Parang family talaga. Kaya alam mong in good hands ka,” attests Dianne, whose usual procedures include Diamond Peel, Whitening Mask, Radio Frequency and Cavislim.
Dianne cuts down on rice and tries her best to squeeze in time to work out at the gym regularly.
Looking forward to the future, Dianne plans to stay in showbiz while managing her events company, to check any possible new business for her, and to settle down soon and build her own family.
Dianne is happy, busy, and beautiful. And to everyone she has this advice: “Always be contented. God has a plan for each and every one of us. Always put God at the center of everything, make Him your core/foundation. And let us all remember that our main purpose here on earth is to serve Him.”
