JOHN LLOYD CRUZ FIRST ENDORSEMENT APPEARANCE AFTER 2 YEARS

Photos and videos of matinee idol John Lloyd Cruz have been surfacing after being on hiatus from the showbusiness since 2017.

Cruz, one of the most bankable actors of the Philippine cinema and very effective endorser once again proved that his fans are still waiting for his return. In a teaser video, which lasted only for a few seconds and only shows the back shot of Cruz’s, and posted in the Facebook page of the number one selling shawarma Turks a few weeks ago had been viewed 3.2M times, shared almost 800 times and gained a huge number of comments.

Without any clue in that teaser video, his fans already assumed that it was him in the video. Actress Bea Alonzo on her Instagram also posted a screenshot of that teaser video, which garnered almost a million likes.

This Monday morning Turks finally revealed in the 1-minute and 17 seconds video of Cruz showing the actor walking through different destinations, which somehow depicts Cruz’s sojourn. The video is very simple, yet there’s drama the way it was created, and in a very subtle shot, he stopped and took a bite of a Turks pita donner.

The rugged look of Cruz in the Turks video titled Ang Pagbabalik is way too far from his guy-next-door image and a lot of people in the industry are asking if this signals his return to the limelight. His fans are still wondering about the life he’s been living since his hiatus.

According to Turks president Gem L. Zenarosa that during the course of his talks with Cruz, they never talked anything about his showbiz career or plans. He added that he got Mr. Cruz as the latest ambassador of Turks because of his great confidence working with Cruz.

“I am really grateful that John Lloyd trusts our company, he is a brilliant and very creative young man. Aside from acting we have discovered some of his remarkable talents,” Zenarosa stressed.

The Ang Pagbabalik according to Zenarosa is actually about Turks Small Pita Doner, which will be available again in all its branches.

“John Lloyd is the best endorser for this because like him, despite his absence in the showbusiness for a couple of years, the warmth and love of his fans for him never dwindles. With our Small Pita Doner we believe that our customers will be happy to know that it is back in our menu,” Zenarosa explained.

Just like Cruz who is seen to have a different image since he last appeared in the big screen, a clear indication that the actor is recreating himslef and exploring different grounds, Turks is also doing the same thing to keep its customers excited whenever they visit a branch.

In  time for the release of Cruz's endorsement video, Turks also released to the market its newest offering --- Turks Rice Bowl, which is a complete meal. You can choose beef or chicken for your rice topping, and it is priced at P50. The Small Pita Donner on the other hand, is priced at P35.

"To keep up with the demands of our customers, Turks continues to improve our menu and offerings to satisfy the discriminating taste of our loyal patrons," Zenarosa stressed.

John Lloyd Cruz now joins the roster of endorsers of Turks such as Piolo and Inigo Pascual.

The Mistress

Another Star Cinema offering "The Mistress" tackles a sensitive issue that is really happening in our society. John Lloyd Cruz and Bea Alonzo stars in this very challenging roles, admittedly JLC said he had a hard time contemplating on his role because in real life his character is way far than who he really is. As per Bea, she was nervous but at the same time took this as a challeng and now proud that she made it.

This is also a movie to celebrate the 10 years of the JLC-Bea love team, imagine that, what do they really have that whatever movie they did together was a hit? They answered because they are much more comfortable with each other and the communication is so good. Maturity is a plus now since the friendship has fully grown.

The Mistress is now showing nationwide and people are raving about it. Truly another box office hit for Star Cinema. Congratulations!

Unofficially Yours

ABS-CBN and Star Cinema's Valentine offering Unofficially Yours stars Ms. Angel Locsin and Mr. John Lloyd Cruz and for sure people will hit the Cinema's the moment this will be shown nationwide.

Press Release:

What defines a relationship? Romance? Intimacy? Sexual Compatibility? Honest-to-goodness love? Or do we really have to define or label it? After all, we all have different reasons for wanting a relationship. As they say, "kanya-kanyang trip lang yan!"

Under the direction of the box-office director, Cathy Garcia-Molina, the story of "Unofficially Yours" starts out with a one night stand of the two lead characters! "Ito na ang pinaka matapang kong pelikula as far as theme is concerned!" says Direk Cathy, "Basically it's a story about a guy who believes so much in love then falls in love with someone who doesn't want to fall in love. Nagkataon kasi na the girl practices casual relationship, non-commital, no ties, ayaw nya ng boyfriend-girlfriend, basta for fun lang! Then the character of the guy, gusto syang paniwalain ulit sa love, na better pa din pag pormal na relasyon than casual relationship!" she explains.

Aside from the brave theme, what makes "Unofficially Yours" extremely exciting is that it stars two of the country's most loved and admired actors, John Lloyd Cruz and Angel Locsin! "Madaming firsts sa pelikulang ito!" says John Lloyd, "First time namin ni Angel sa big screen, first time namin pareho sa ganitong klaseng roles, first time ng Star Cinema na sumabak sa ganitong tema na masasabing taboo pero nangyayari naman talaga sa paligid natin pero hindi lang komportable ang marami na pag-usapan. It's a bold step to tachle this theme pero syempre with the touch of Star Cinema, talagang puso, yungpinaka puso ng mga characters ang mapapanood dito. This is really something new! Something very different!" he tells. As the movie theme dictates the two will be seen in a "hot" love scene, "but that's not the movies point!" John Lloyd exclaims and furthers "it will be portrayed pero ang pinaka importante sa kwento eh yung magiging learning ng mga characters namin - yung tama ba o hindi na i-define ang isang relationship!" he closes.

Angel Locsin, on the other hand has this to say, "Gusto naming ipakita sa mga tao kung ano ba ang casual relationship, kung anu ba ang advantage at disadvantage nito," she furthers, "Marami kasing kakapitan ang mga audience dito! Sa characters namin, sa story, totoo naman talaga ang ganito eh medyo sensitive nga lang talaga, maraming makaka relate dito. Ako mismo bilang babae naiintindihan ko yung character kokung bakit sya ganun. Yung reason nya kung bakit nya pinipiling maging single at kung bakit ayaw nya magkaroon ng serious relationship, ng commitment" she ends.

Extremely exciting indeed! "Unofficially Yours" may just make us all think and rethink our relationships! It's highs and lows, joys and pain, fun and no fun, casual or formal. "It's still a love story! Iba man ang paraan ng pagkukuwento namin dito, at the end of the day, it still talks about love, it still talks about how great love is! How better it is to love than not having love at all! Direk Cathy beams as she closes.

UNOFFICIALLY YOURS opens on February 15, 2012 in over 100 theaters Nationwide!

Don't Miss It!
