Jodi Sta. Maria couldn’t contain her excitement at a presser on April 20 as she shared her thoughts on working with her son, Panfilo Lacson III more known as Thirdy, again for a new commercial for Chowking.
It had been a while since they last worked together, and Jodi felt that this collaboration was extra special.
“I think what made it more special is that I’m gonna be working with Thirdy again, because it’s been a while,” Jodi expressed. As a doting mother, she couldn’t help but feel proud of Thirdy’s acting skills. “Sobra din akong na-proud sa kaniya na ‘ay, okay sa acting skills ni bagets, may pinagmanahan.”
She also praised her son’s personal style, stating, “With this one, talagang personal style niya ‘yon, kung ano ‘yung nakikita niyo, ‘yun si Thirdy.”
Sta. Maria expressed her gratitude towards Chowking for allowing Thirdy to be himself and showcase his authentic self in the commercial.
“And I’m really thankful talaga sa Chowking because they really allowed na kung sino talaga siya, ‘yun ‘yung ipapakita natin. What you see is what you get, ‘yun siya.”
Lacson, who has expressed his desire to carve a path outside of showbiz, was open to doing endorsements like this one.
The award-winning actress shared, “He wants to carve a path na hindi talaga siya nasa showbiz. But pag ganitong mga klaseng endorsement, he’s open to it.”
As a proud mother, she eagerly anticipated the release of the commercial and looked forward to more collaborations with her son in the future.
