MANILA, Philippines - For months now, Marco Masa (photo with Jollibee) has been delighting televiewers with his heartwarming portrayal of an angel sent back to the world to restore man’s faith in God in Nathaniel.
As Nathaniel, Marco exemplifies the kindness, obedience and playfulness of a Filipino child, endearing him to fellow children and entire families. This time, he is taking on a new role as Jollibee’s newest brand ambassador, partnering with his ultimate favorites — Jolly Spaghetti and his mom, Sol Masa.
With the perfect blend of rich tomato sauce, juicy hotdog and ham bits generously topped with cheese, Jollibee’s Jolly Spaghetti is something that Marco and Mommy Sol both love, and there are no better ambassadors to represent it than the primetime child star and his mom.
“We really love Jollibee, so when we were chosen (as brand ambassadors), we felt very proud,” said Mommy Sol, who is sharing the limelight with her son for the first time in their Jolly Spaghetti commercial. According to her, Jollibee has always been close to their hearts, especially now that her children are growing up.
Mother and son also make sure to spend quality time with the rest of the family. “Tapings for Nathaniel are during Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, so Tuesdays and Thursdays are his school days while the weekends are for our family time,” shared Mommy Sol. And just like any other family, “It can be tough, but we make sure we have time to bond as a family especially on weekends to go to malls, play badminton, go biking, and, of course, enjoy our favorite Jollibee treats,” she said.
Aside from Marco, Jollibee ambassadors include Sarah Geronimo, Bamboo, The Voice Kids’ Lyca Gairanod, Darren Espanto, Juan Karlos Labajo and Darlene Vibares, Nadine Lustre, James Reid and Zoren Legaspi, Carmina Villarroel and their twins Mavy and Cassy.
“We’re very happy to finally have Marco as part of the Jollibee family, as he is a wonderful role model, especially to kids in this generation,” said Jollibee VP for Marketing Harvey Ong.
