Jessy Mendiola of the Philippines is Honorary Ambassador for Korean Tourism! Congratulations!

JESSY MENDIOLA, CHOSEN AS HONORARY AMBASSADOR FOR KOREAN TOURISM

The Philippines' “Maria Mercedes” television drama series star Jessy Mendiola flew to Korea last night October 29, 2013 to meet with the Korean Tourism Organization (KTO) for her ceremonial appointment as Honorary Ambassador for Korean Tourism.

This is a great marketing idea, I suggest our Department of Tourism (DOT) under advertising whiz Secretary Mon Jimenez consider also hiring or inviting a Korean celebrity or VIP to be our ambassador for Philippine tourism? We know that South Korea is one of Asia's wealthiest nations, and many of their tourists like the Philippines already and most specially our beach destination of Boracay. Perhaps DOT can also seek out a Chinese celebrity to be our goodwill ambassador for Philippine tourism not only in China, but to include majority ethnic Chinese societies like Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau?

The beautiful actress and model Jessy will immediately attend to her duties as ambassador in her five-day trip as she is slated to meet with KTO Chairman Charm Lee and go around the country’s famous tourist spots to promote Korea’s tourism to Philippines.

“I am very honored and thankful that the KTO chose me as ambassador. The Koreans are very nice to me when I visited their country and they instantly became dear to my heart,” said Jessy.

The newest Philippine TV primetime princess is no stranger to Korea since she’s been there for several times to do the KBS show “World Date with Shinee” and to do some photo shoots for a magazine. She was also chosen by a Korean mobile messaging application as endorser.

Jessy currently sizzles the Philippine television screens as “Maria Mercedes” every weeknights on primetime.

The story continues to heat up even more now that Mercedes (Jessy Mendiola) and Luis (Jake Cuenca) are officially an item. Mercedes’ past also haunts her as she crosses paths, after a long time, with the man who destroyed her family. 

How far can Mercedes and Luis’ relationship go? What will Misty (Nikki Gil) and Malvina (Vivian Velez) do to tear them apart? Will Magnolia (Vina Morales) finally find Mercedes and her siblings?
Viewers can follow the bittersweet story of “Maria Mercedes,” weeknights, on Philippine television network ABS-CBN’s Primetime Bida. It is a remake and a Philippine version of the South American television drama of the same title.
