Amazing prizes were given away to the recently-announced winners, which include a MacBook Air laptop for the grand prize, a Canon Vixia Camcorder for the 2nd prize and an iPod Touch for the 3rd prize.

Giosi Mendoza and Ralph Bryan Sarol’s Highlands Cream-Oholic video bagged the grand prize. It featured a Cream-Oholic who pulled off funny stunts and ran after a speeding vehicle in order to get his Cream-O back.

“We joined the competition to get noticed”, recalls Mendoza, the 33 year-old director of the winning video. He and Bryan work for their own production outfit, Tanghalang Bawawaw. “And we really like Cream-O. Our favorite is the Cream-O Premium Sandwich Cookies.” Both of them love Cream-O Premium Choco Fudge which they always eat for dessert.

The second prize went to 27 year-old Ray Mercado. He won the Canon Vixia Camcorder with his submitted video Tribu but was unable to attend the awarding since he resides in Cagayan de Oro. The wacky video illustrated a young man’s quest for the Cream-Onobo tribe wherein he faced three extreme challenges to acquire the delicious and most sought-after Cream-O.

Meanwhile, aspiring filmmaker Paul-Kristoffer Putong from Tanza, Cavite won the iPod Touch with his video entry, Centavo. The entry highlighted the importance of a 25 centavo coin in a young man’s pursuit of his favorite chocolate fix, Cream-O. Paul, a true blue Creamoholic, usually enjoys Cream-O in the morning as breakfast. His favorite variant is Cream-O Choco Fudge.

“Thank you, URC. I hope that this video-making contest is going to be a yearly thing, and I hope you continue to make and provide us with great products,” says Putong.

“We appreciate this opportunity. We did not only enjoy the overall chocolate goodness of Cream-O, we also had the chance to show our talents,” adds Mendoza and Sarol.

Blend 45, the coffee that’s truly Pinoy, pays tribute to Filipino culture in its latest television commercial (TVC). Created by multi-awarded director and cinematographer Yam Laranas, the TVC focuses on much-loved Pinoy traits of hospitality and politeness as shown through a typical day in Juan De La Cruz’s life.

“This feel-good commercial is a slice of Pinoy life,” says Yam, who became widely known for the first mainstream Hollywood film ever directed by a Filipino, The Echo. The commercial he conceptualized
for Blend 45 reflects the core values Filipinos are known for.

As the central character meets several members of the community, he is greeted warmly, hospitably offered breakfast and even a ride to work. He politely declines all offers, until he is presented with an irresistibly hot and calming cup of Blend 45 coffee. Of course, just like any true-blooded Pinoy, he just can’t say no to that delectable coffee mildness which is distinctly Filipino.

“The main message of the commercial is kuhang-kuha ng Blend 45 ang sarap at lasa na di matanggihan ng mga Pinoy noon at ngayon” Direk Yam adds. Blend 45 truly captures the distinct flavor Filipinos have loved for 45 years now.

On a personal note, Direk Yam adds “Blend 45 is a real Filipino product and it ’s been here for a long time, and I want to be like that. I think I want to be a Filipino known all over the world. I don’t want to be a Hollywood director; I want to be known as a Filipino director who makes films in Hollywood.” Direk Yam also directed Blend 45’s television commercial twelve years ago.

Blend 45’s real coffee goodness mirrors the warmth and simplicity of Filipino living, that is why a steaming serving of the kapeng Pinoy na Pinoy is imbibed as part of the everyday lives of Juan dela Cruz. Also available in 3-in-1 coffee mix, Blend 45 is available in all the leading supermarkets and groceries nationwide.
