The award recognizes outstanding Filipina entrepreneurs for their leadership, resilience, innovation, and contribution to economic growth and job creation.

Salvane’s journey from a small home-based business to a nationally recognized skincare brand shows perseverance, faith, and a dedication to empowering others.

Her entrepreneurial journey began with a simple desire—to provide for her family. She transformed her home-based business through dedication and vision into GT Cosmetics, a trusted brand known for its high-quality, natural skincare products.

“Receiving the Go Negosyo award is an incredible honor and a humbling milestone in my journey as a Filipina entrepreneur,” Salvane said. “It reflects the fruits of perseverance, faith, and the vision that built GT Cosmetics.”

GT Cosmetics is more than just a beauty brand. Under Salvane’s leadership, it has become a platform for empowering women—whether as consumers, employees, or business partners.
