JETOUR Auto Philippines formally introduced actors and parents Luis Manzano and Jessy Mendiola-Manzano as its newest brand ambassadors during a contract signing and press conference at the 10th Philippine International Motor Show (PIMS) at the World Trade Center.
“Jessy and Luis are well-respected not only for their work in the entertainment industry, but also for the way they represent family life,” Cherry May De Los Santos, Marketing Director of JETOUR Auto Philippines, said. “Their authenticity and relatability make them a natural fit for JETOUR and the customers we serve.”
The couple said their partnership with JETOUR reflects shared family values rather than a simple endorsement, noting practical benefits of the JETOUR T1 Lightning i-DM plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) for everyday family life.
“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,” Jessy Mendiola-Manzano said.
Luis Manzano added that seeing colleagues adopt the brand influenced his interest: “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.”
The couple highlighted fuel savings, electric efficiency for short trips, and combustion backup for long journeys as reasons the T1 works for their busy schedules. “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,” they said.
They also emphasized after-sales support as a key factor in long-term vehicle ownership: “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.”
Looking ahead, Luis and Jessy view the JETOUR T1 Lightning i-DM as a practical, long-term family vehicle that balances technology, safety, and cost savings. “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.”
The appointment of the Manzano family underscores JETOUR’s push to position its PHEV offerings as sensible mobility solutions for Filipino households seeking efficiency, comfort, and dependable after-sales care.
