Nadine Lustre on why Jollibee Tuna Pie is her favorite snack

Actress-singer-director-beauty and fashion maven Nadine Lustre shows off her amazing personality in the latest digital ads for the best-selling Jollibee Tuna Pie. A commercial depicting contrasting yet complementary traits—sporty and feminine for Nadine, and crispy and creamy for Jollibee Tuna Pie will start airing this month, to coincide with the return of the limited-time offer snack earlier this February.

“Tuna Pie has been a favorite snack treat for many Pinoys because of its unique combination of textures and flavors,” said Mari Aldecoa, Jollibee Marketing Director for Core Category. “It’s crispy and creamy at the same time, traits that seem like complete opposites but actually make for a joyful experience with every bite.”

“A long-time member of the Jollibee family, Nadine possesses different facets to her image and talents that make for a delightful whole—just like Jollibee Tuna Pie,” added Aldecoa.

‘Complex, yet simple’

Nadine, who has made a name for herself not only for the box-office hits and high-rating TV series in the recent years but also for her various creative endeavors, is a staunch Jollibee fan.

“Even as a child, love ko na talaga ang Jollibee,” the 25-year-old actress shared. “From Chickenjoy to Burger Steak, I’ve loved everything. And when they first came out with the Tuna Pie, talagang kine-crave ko na siya.”

The multi-talented celebrity also shared that her love for this crispy, creamy snack goes beyond simply satisfying her cravings.

“Siyempre it’s so flavorful! Every bite brings you that flaky texture of the crust, which is complemented by the creaminess of the tuna filling. It’s perfect for anytime of the day, any day of the week when you just need to enjoy something delicious, wherever, whenever,” she added.

Even before shooting the commercial, Nadine admitted to being excited upon seeing the concept and script.

“Natuwa ako because it really captured what the product is all about. Crispy and creamy are like opposites,‘di ba, but when you bring them together, it works so well. Like in the ad, it’s “Two-na sarap”. And with the concept of the ad, we tried to show the different looks and aspects of myself that work well together despite being “opposites.” I love that we were able to capture that idea, in a complex, yet simple way that is very much like Jollibee Tuna Pie,” she added.

Tuna Pie has captured the taste buds—and hearts—of many Filipino snacking “connoisseurs” because of this complex combination of textures and flavors in a simple form one can enjoy even on-the-go. With a golden pie crust fried to a perfect, flaky crisp and a savory, creamy filling, Jollibee’s Tuna Pie indeed offers two-fold deliciousness with every bite. It’s hard to stop with just a bite—or even just one pie!

Indulge in the incomparable Crispy & Creamy two-na sarap of the Tuna Pie for only P45.00* (solo), available in all Jollibee stores nationwide for dine-in, take-out, delivery, and drive-thru transactions starting February 1, 2019.

GMA Network’s timely political rom-com series TODA One I Love starting this February 4

Fans of the well-loved Kapuso onscreen pair Kylie Padilla and Ruru Madrid need not wait any longer as the KyRu love team banners GMA News and Public Affairs’ election offering and latest political romantic comedy series TODA One I Love which makes its world premiere this February 4 on GMA Telebabad.

Like the jeepney, the tricycle is a popular means of transportation in the Philippines that reflects the culture and identity of Filipinos. Aside from playing a major part in the daily commute of many Pinoys, the tricycle is also used as a vehicle to promote various products and even political candidates.

TODA One I Love will revolve around the family, dreams, and loves of three lead characters—Gelay, Emong, and Kobe. They will find themselves tangled in the topsy-turvy politics of the Tricycle Operators and Drivers’ Association or TODA, as well as the local mayoral elections.

TODA One I Love gives viewers a glimpse of Philippine local politics—all presented with a sprinkle of comedy and romance. At the center of this latest Kapuso Telebabad offering is the strong-willed, independent young woman Angela “Gelay” Dimagiba, portrayed by versatile actress Kylie Padilla.

An engineering student, Gelay is the daughter of a tricycle driver Mang Tolits and Aling Lea. Family is everything for Gelay; she is willing to sacrifice her own happiness for them. She has a childhood friend Emong, whom she has been crushing on since they were young. But Emong only sees her as a younger sister.

Playing Raymond “Emong” Magsino is Kapuso heartthrob Ruru Madrid. He is the son of Aling Jane and Mang Jessie, the incumbent TODA president. A hard-working lad, Emong is determined to better his life. With his TESDA course under his belt, he goes abroad to work as a mechanic. This temporarily cuts his friendship with Gelay. But when his employer closes shop, Emong has no choice but to go back to the Philippines. Upon his return, Emong discovers that Gelay is still the tough girl he knows—only she has transformed into a beautiful lady. Emong now finds himself head over heels with his childhood friend.

But Emong faces competition when it comes to winning Gelay’s heart: the handsome and prince charming material Kobe Generoso to be portrayed by Chinito heartthrob David Licauco. Even though Kobe is the son of the incumbent Mayor Migs and ex-mayor Mayora Dyna, he still wants to make a name for himself.

But before Gelay decides between her two admirers, her life makes a 180-turn when the TODA Elections spell trouble for her and her family.

Joining Kylie, David, and Ruru in this political rom-com series are Gladys Reyes, Victor Neri, Jackie Rice, Kim Domingo, Tina Paner, Maureen Larrazabal, and Raymond Bagatsing with the special participation of Allen Dizon.

Viewers should also look forward to the characters of Cai Cortez, Buboy Villar, Archie Alemania, Kimpoy Feliciano, Ayeesha Cervantes, and Bruce Roeland.

TODA One I Love is written by Volta delos Santos, Robert Raz, Mario Banzon, Lei Chavez, and Aya Anunciacion.

At the helm of this series are directors Jeffrey Hidalgo and Nick Olanka.

Catch the world premiere of TODA One I Love on February 4 on GMA Telebabad.

Kapuso viewers abroad can also catch TODA One I Love on GMA Pinoy TV. For the program guide, visit www.gmapinoytv.com.

Maxi Mango welcomes Kathryn Bernardo

Maxi Mango welcomes Kathryn Bernardo as their newest celebrity endorser. Kathryn personally loves mangoes and she also believes in the company's mission same with their product. Watch her interview on our Youtube Channel ( www.youtube.com/ShowbizzGanap ) .

What is Maxi Mango? Maxi Mango is a soft served ice cream dessert product which uses rich Mango
based soft served to create a spin on the Filipino classic Mango Float with other menu items using the same mango base.

Though Maxi Mango only began in December 2017 with its first permanent store established on September 1, 2018, the owners have already banked six years in the soft served industry through previous concepts and have a strong and competitive mastery both for this product and the equipment it requires.
Maxi Mango was developed through strenuous research and development.

Maxi Mango has a rich and creamy mango base, smooth to the palate and is the highlight of our product. Our edge in this industry is the soft
served itself; where other soft served companies normally pay little to no attention in their soft served base and drown their product in commercially
bought toppings, Maxi Mango offers no compromises with the highest quality possible.
Price – Maxi Mango offers affordable prices in order to adhere to all classes.

Maxi Mango does not compromise on quality and only uses sweet mangoes which are carefully handpicked and taken care of by our
“mango team” dedicated to only mangoes.

Maxi Mango is run by a family corporation, should franchisees need any support, attention will be given right away as there will be no need for
approval from partners. We focus on a personalized approach not just for our franchisees but for our customers as well which is why you will never see
generic copy pasted comments/messages on our FB and IG pages.

The Maxi Mango mission is to remove the stigma placed on affordable products which states that the cheaper a product is, the lesser the quality.
Maxi Mango offers affordability and the highest quality. We do not cut corners and will offer customers the best we can.

Mango Float – our Mango Float is a mango base with fresh mangoes, graham
crackers, and our own personalized cream recipe.

Maxi Mango – for customers with less of a sweet tooth, Maxi Mango is a mango base with fresh mangoes.

Mango Juice Float – fresh mango juice topped with a swirl of mango soft

served on top.

Mango Shake – mango soft served, fresh mangoes, and cream blended to a
thick and rich shake.

Expansion and Growth:

Maxi Mango is an appealing investment to potential franchisees for these reasons:
- We are the first of this concept to arise and the current market leader.
We intend on keeping our place through continuous marketing,
product development, and innovation.
- Area protection – Maxi Mango protects its franchisees by limiting the
number of branches within very close proximity to one another.
- Maxi Mango sets its return of investment at 6 months to one year
while informing franchisees that the one year mark is already a far
stretch and it is unlikely to take that long.

Sales and product impact:
The record highest sales for Maxi Mango was set at SM Fairview (a franchisee branch) last December 2018 for mall hours of 10am-12midnight at PHP121,000/day. While average daily sales can range
anywhere between PHP30,000 – PHP60,000 per day.
