Glenda Dela Cruz Victorio addresses Harvard Business School criticism

Glenda Dela Cruz Victorio, the founder and CEO of Brilliant Skin Essentials, has addressed public criticism regarding her participation in executive education programs at Harvard Business School.

Victorio, a Filipino entrepreneur who rose from a working-class background in Morong, Rizal, to establish a major skincare and cosmetics distribution network, recently shared updates about her transition to Harvard residency. Following mixed reactions from social media users questioning the transparency of her journey and the costs involved, Victorio clarified that her posts are intended to document her personal and professional growth. She noted that she shared tuition details to address existing inquiries rather than to boast.

Addressing claims regarding the accessibility of the program, Victorio emphasized that Harvard Business School’s Executive Education involves a selective admissions process based on professional achievements and organizational responsibilities. She stated her goal is to use the experience for personal development and to provide inspiration to those unable to complete formal schooling.
