Eat Bulaga host and seasoned comedy actor Vic Sotto shared his thoughts on accepting product endorsements during a media conference on February 21.
Sotto said that he doesn’t accept product endorsements if he doesn’t believe in them.
“Hindi naman ako basta-basta tumatanggap ng produkto na i-endorse na hindi ko pinaniniwalaan. Like Boss Max 3 I know it will be good for my health.
‘So itong Boss Max 3 noong kinausap nila ako, sabi ko, okay ito, I want to try it first. And all the benefits na pinapangako niya ay nakuha ko naman. So hindi na ako nagdalawang isip pa. Sabi ko, ‘Okay, go tayo.'”
He also investigated the product benefits before accepting the offer from Boss Max 3.
“Kaya noong they brought up the product with me, ay inembestigahan ko munang mabuti. Ano ba ‘yung mangosteen?
“‘Yung mangosteen talaga matindi ang health benefits niyan eh. Kung hindi ako nagkakamali siya lang ‘yung may xanthone, anti-oxidants, immunity booster, tapos talagang for general health talaga.”
He then detailed his checklist when he considered the product endorsement.
“Ang unang tanong ko ay, ito ba ay makakabuti sa akin. Ito ba ay pakikinabangan ko, hindi lang basta–I’m not the type na endorse lang ng endorse. Kailangan naniniwala ako doon sa produkto.
“Tinesting ko muna, ‘yung kape ay masarap. Ang daling timplahin, may creamy, may strong.
“Pagkatapos noon ay ‘yun pumayag na ako. Tapos nakilala ko si Boss Gap. Mabubuting tao, mababait na tao, maraming natutulungan ay talagang sumolid na ako sa Boss Max 3.”
Bossmaxx 3 Product Manager TJ Sanga revealed why Corbridge wanted Sotto as their endorser.
“Sa tindig pa lang ni Bossing parang healthy na healthy na po ang itsura. And talagang nire-represent niya ‘yung pagiging healthy po. At kailangan po natin ‘yun sa bawat araw.”
Sotto officially announced his endorsement of Boss Max 3, a dietary supplement and coffee made from Mangosteen Xanthone, a locally known fruit that offers a long list of health benefits.
