Model, actress and philanthropist, Nanette Medved-Po, radiates with beauty inside and out.

The former star founded GenerationHOPE, and is the brains behind Hope In A Bottle — a brand of purified bottled water that dedicates 100% of profits to building schools in the Philippines.

Nanette Medved-Po was born in Hawaii, USA, but spent most of her childhood in Angeles City, Philippines. She starred in ‘Darna’ back in 1991, among several other local movies, but decided to trade her iconic superhero costume to save lives in the real world. Although she had her share of success in show business, she gains an incomparable sense of fulfillment from helping others, and has no regrets switching her stardom for a philanthropic lifestyle.

At present, she uses her fame and influence to generate awareness of Hope In A Bottle, to benefit children in need. Product sales then provide public school students a decent quality of education to pursue a better, brighter life.

Every Hope In A Bottle purchased from one of over 2000 outlets nationwide such as Starbucks, UCC Cafe and the 7-Eleven convenience store chain, gives a regular customer an opportunity to make an impact on a child’s future.

Besides GenerationHOPE, Nanette Medved-Po is active on the Advisory Board of Bantay Bata as well as the National Advisory Council of World Wildlife Fund Philippines.

Nanette Medved-Po’s voluntary involvement with charity has made her a source of hope to young Filipinos and an inspiration to what strong women can accomplish. Thus, it is no surprise that she is a #ZALORAICON.
