JETOUR Auto Philippines formally introduced Jessy Mendiola-Manzano and Luis Manzano as its newest brand ambassadors during the official contract signing and press conference held at the 10th Philippine International Motor Show (PIMS) at the World Trade Center in Pasay City.
As Filipino families continue to balance the demands of work, family life, and travel, the need for dependable and practical mobility has become increasingly important. Jessy and Luis reflect the values shared by many Filipino households today: being grounded, family-oriented, and thoughtful about the choices they make. Their partnership with JETOUR comes at a time when more families are looking for vehicles that provide comfort, safety, efficiency, and long-term value.
“Jessy and Luis are well-respected not only for their work in the entertainment industry, but also for the way they represent family life,” said Mr. Ms. Cherry May De Los Santos, Marketing Director of JETOUR Auto Philippines “. Their authenticity and relatability make them a natural fit for JETOUR and the customers we serve.”
For the couple, the partnership is built on shared principles rather than endorsements alone.
The couple’s appreciation for the JETOUR T1 Lightning i-DM (Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle) began even before they got behind the wheel. Jessy recalled her first encounter with the JETOUR T1 in Sand Gold, saying the vehicle immediately caught her attention.
“When I first saw the T1 Lightning i-DM in Sand Gold, I was honestly stunned. The color stood out right away. It was elegant, distinctive, and unlike anything I had seen on the road. It has a strong presence without being overwhelming, and it felt like a vehicle that could fit both our family’s everyday needs and our lifestyle.”
Luis, meanwhile, shared that JETOUR’s growing presence among his colleagues also played a role in his familiarity with the brand. “What surprised me was how many of my colleagues at ABS-CBN are already driving JETOUR vehicles. I see them regularly in the workplace parking areas and during shoots. When you consistently see people you know and trust choosing the brand, it naturally makes you curious about what they’re experiencing. It showed me that more Filipinos are beginning to appreciate what JETOUR offers.”
During the official contract signing and press conference, Jessy and Luis spoke about the reasons behind their decision to partner with JETOUR and how the brand aligns with their family’s values and priorities.
When asked why they chose JETOUR as a partner for their family, Jessy and Luis shared: “Forward in Every Drive reflects our own values of being real and intentional. It’s a brand that supports our lifestyle rather than dictating it. We want to partner with a brand that encourages practical and responsible choices for the future.” As advocates of plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) technology, the couple sees the JETOUR T1 as a practical solution for everyday family life.
The fuel savings during daily school runs, grocery trips, and city commutes have been a welcome benefit. Given the nature of our work in the entertainment industry, we’re constantly on the move and often travel to different locations across the country. The JETOUR T1 Lightning i-DM (Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle) gives us the balance of electric efficiency for everyday driving and the capability we need for longer journeys. It fits naturally into our lifestyle and allows us to make more thoughtful energy choices for our family and the next generation.
Among the features they appreciate most as parents are those that make daily routines easier and safer. “The quiet electric mode is especially helpful when our little one is sleeping in the car. The ADAS safety features provide reassurance in unpredictable traffic conditions, while the connectivity features help us stay organized throughout the day.”
The couple also highlighted the value the vehicle brings to growing families. “We’re saving on fuel and maintenance costs while still enjoying the comfort, technology, and safety features we want for our family. It’s a practical choice that makes sense for our budget and our daily needs.”
Looking ahead, Jessy and Luis view their relationship with JETOUR as one that aligns with their family’s plans and priorities.
Beyond the vehicle itself, Jessy and Luis also emphasized the importance of dependable after-sales support when choosing a vehicle for their family.
“For us, ownership doesn’t end after purchasing a vehicle. After-sales support is a big part of the experience because it gives families confidence and peace of mind. Knowing that there is a service network ready to assist when needed makes a real difference, especially when you’re balancing work, family responsibilities, and travel. It’s reassuring to know that JETOUR continues to strengthen its aftersales services and support for its customers.”
The couple noted that reliable after-sales service is an important consideration for families making a long-term investment, as it helps ensure convenience, vehicle reliability, and confidence throughout the ownership experience.
“The JETOUR T1 Lightning i-DM (Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle) is something we can see ourselves using for years to come. Its technology and design remain relevant, and it meets the needs of our family as those needs change over time. We also appreciate that JETOUR continues to improve and expand its offerings. The strong response from Filipino buyers shows that more families are seeing the value of what it offers.”
Through this partnership, JETOUR Philippines and the Manzano family share a common goal: supporting Filipino families with practical mobility solutions that fit the realities of everyday life.
