The New Clear Men TV Ad...Wrong Casting!

I've seen Piolo Pascual and Dingdong Dantes in Ponds. So it's not new to me to see both Piolo and Dingdong on the new Clear Men TV ad. But what struck me is the addition of Jericho Rosales. It's kinda odd...well, not really odd and no, it's not because Jericho isn't suited as the new face of Clear Men. He's just fine. Maybe it's 2:1...two kapamilya and just one kapuso! Kidding...

Seriously, Clear should've picked Sam Milby instead of Dingdong Dantes and drop Jericho and choose John Lloyd instead. It would be a power-threesome...imagine Piolo, Sam and John Lloyd - all Kapamilya and all could act well and very good product endorser. These three: Piolo, Sam and John Lloyd have all blockbuster movies.

Of course, Clear has their reasons and criteria why they picked Dingdong and Jericho. But what I'm suggesting is an ad that could've been more powerful and better-looking familiar faces.

From Being Gay to Callboy

It was a special edition of Entertainment Live: The Untold Stories, October 24, where the hosts and the guests would tell untold stories about each other which the public doesn't know. There was this segment when John Lloyd Cruz and Bea Alonzo were the guests and the hosts were Toni and Luis. When it was John Lloyd's turn, Luis mentioned that another dream role of John Lloyd is to be a callboy in London. When he was asked why London,"...malaki ang kita para pounds", he said jokingly. Then Toni admired John Lloyd for bravely taking different roles to further his craft.

From my research, I learned that Lloydie "was hailed as the third most powerful celebrity in the Philippines. The first and second places was occupied by Willie Revillame and Kris Aquino respectively", according to Summit Media's Yes! Magazine. And nakaraang pelikula ni John Lloyd with Sarah G. was a megahit. And John Lloyd is a thinking and sensitive actor. I would consider him even more powerful and effective than Piolo Pascual. Madami na siyang blockbuster movie under his belt compared to Piolo. Now, Piolo has some competition...at least it's also from ABS-CBN.
