Her post came in light of the new commercials of a popular app showing Jackie Chan as the endorser and a telecommunication company featuring South Korean actor Hyun Bin as its own endorser.
“Para naman hindi effective mga stars natin as endorsers, Salve,” Lolit wrote in her post.
Lolit lamented the fact that the two foreign stars appeared in commercials that were shown to the public on the same day.

“Nakakaloka na mga foreign stars ang nakikita mo na nag i endorse ng mga product o mga shopping specials natin. Sabay lumabas sila Hyun Bin at Jackie Chan as endorsers ng sikat na mga shopping apps natin,” the veteran columnist continued.
She said that the two replaced famous local stars, prompting her to ask if buyers really wanted to see foreign stars than a local one.
The veteran columnist then wondered if local artists have lost their magic to draw in buyers towards a product or shopping special.
“Eh ang mga pinalitan nila mga sikat din stars natin. Ibig bang sabihin, mas gusto ng mga buyer iyon foreign stars kesa sa locals? Kahit nga mga telecom companies, ganuon din. Wala na bang magic iyon mga artista natin para humatak ng buyers?” she asked in her post.
Lolit then said that if she’s to be asked, she preferred seeing local sports idols, those who received medals, whose feat everyone witnessed.
“Kung ako nga, mas gusto ko pa makita iyon mga sports idol natin dahil parang mas real, nakatanggap ng medalya, talagang nakita mo nagpagod at matibay ang katawan. Pag vitamins ang product o pagkain, di ba mas believable na mga athletes ang nagbibenta nito? Ka-sad naman ba pati sa commercials parang tinatalo na ang mga local talents natin,” the veteran columnist further wrote.
She then said that even if Jackie Chan or Korean Oppas were her types, she still prefer local stars as endorsers.
