Greatness is in every Filipino. That’s what actor and popular matinee idol John Lloyd Cruz believes in.
The actor said that during his introduction to members of the media, both print and electronic, including digital, at a press conference at Crowne Plaza last Tuesday as the new face of Great Taste Coffee.
Cruz said that greatness could be in a variety of ways and forms, in any situation, at no particular place or time. From game-changing choices to simple, unplanned acts of kindness, greatness can thrive every day.
Believing in the remarkable traits of Filipinos, apart from Cruz, is Great Taste Coffee. Through the years, according to Universal Robina Corporation President and CEO Lance Gokongwei, constant innovation has allowed the brand to constantly introduce new and better ways to enjoy a cup of coffee. As it continues to help bring out the greatness in every Filipino, Great Taste Coffee introduces a new endorser to join its journey of serving even greater experiences to its loyal consumers.
During the Choose to Be Great event, where Great Taste introduced John Lloyd Cruz as its newest brand endorser, the guests were treated to various activities that showcased Great Taste’s celebration of the Filipino’s everyday greatness.
“We are very pleased to have John Lloyd Cruz as the latest addition to the Great Taste family. As our endorser, we believe he will reinforce our values and philosophy with the same kind of passion and greatness that he has exemplified in his life,” said Gokongwei.
During the event, the guests were treated to an exclusive preview of Great Taste Coffee’s newest campaign featuring John Lloyd Cruz. The new campaign captures the respect and admiration that he and the brand have for Pinoy’s greatness.
Like Great Taste Coffee and John Lloyd Cruz, Filipinos can achieve greatness—from small triumphs, to great milestones. Choose to be great with Great Taste Coffee, available at all leading supermarkets, convenience stores, and sari-sari stores nationwide.
