On Wendell and his milk commercial

Has anyone seen the new Bear Brand "Laki sa Gatas" commercials on our local free TV? I think they are now running the one with Isko Moreno. But if you happened to catch the first outing (the debut ad) of this commercial series, you have definitely seen Wendell.

Dr. Jose Wendell Capili was my classmate back in the late 80s (buking ang age!). We were a small band of Journalism majors in UST and Wendell was our class president (up until we graduated). Matalino talaga yang batang yan (haha)! Even then he was a brilliant writer so I'm not really surprised that he has become so esteemed in the academe.


When we graduated, we had our own respective lives and careers. What I know was that right after graduating, he went to UP and became a professor. That was the last thing I heard of Wendell... and then the commercial came. Would you believe it was only when I saw the commercial that I found out he went to Cambridge? Grabe bigat!

So you can just imagine my jaw literally dropping when I saw Wendell on TV...on TV! Commercial model na ang lolo! Well sir, Dr. Wendell (hehe), we are extremely proud of you! and I bet Dr. Dimalanta and the rest of our professors are proud too.

(Bear Brand pala ang gatas mo, Wendell. Sana nung bata pa ako hindi Nido ang pinainom sa akin. Sana nakapag-Cambridge din ako...Joke!)

Anyway, with his permission (thanks dude! Ay, Sir pala hehe),I am posting his "Laki Sa Gatas" TVC which debuted two weeks ago (am I right Wendell?).


Isko Moreno's take is currently being aired over local free TV and after that, it's Ms. Vilma Santos.
