Make way for Korina Sanchez 2.0!
Over the weekend, veteran newscaster Korina Sanchez made headlines on social media when she was presented as the newest endorser of Belo Beauty.
Korina sported a new look which made her nearly unrecognizable to netizens.
The seasoned journalist bared her toned shoulders, flaunted glowing bronzed skin, and showed her own version of the famed “smize” as she leaned her elbow on an old television set.
The caption read: “The news never looked this good.”
Here are some of the first reactions of netizens to the “new and improved” Korina:

I honestly DID NOT recognize her at all. I had to zoom on the really small letters bec maybe it had her name. And even after doing that, my eyes still could NOT believe ????????

There were those who insisted it was just a good (or bad) case of photoshop, but it seemed that this was the real deal.

As someone who had experience with Photoshop, these are the most obvious fails I spotted. pic.twitter.com/TvrHZiz5Ey

LOOK-ALIKES. With nearly every netizen doing a double-take on Korina’s new look, many agreed that Korina could pass off as the doppelganger of celebrity stylist, Liz Uy. Can you tell one from the other?
Others thought Korina now looks a bit like Jodi Sta. Maria...
Karel Marquez, maybe...
or RB Chanco, the celebrity makeup artist.
And believe it or not, netizens saw a bit of the international singer, Mariah Carey, in Korina:
What do you think, PEPsters?
