Pag alam niyang ikabubuti ng family namin or ikakasaya ng</i> family <i>namin, kumbaga maayos na magiging kasama namin or magiging kaibigan ng</i> family<i> namin</i>, go-go <i>yan. Minsan ako pa nga ang may ibang bagay na napapaisip pa ako. Pero siya ipapaliwanag niya na ganito ganyan so kahit sabihin natin na medyo</i> low profile <i>siya, pero siya yung mas malawak ang pag-iisip sa akin kasi siya yung buma-balanse ng isip ko kaya madali ko naman siya mapapayag sa mga bagay na alam kong makakabuti sa amin</i>,” she shared during the Super Twins premium baby diaper presscon held last October 27 at Oriental Palace restaurant in Quezon city.</div><div><br/></div><div>The 36-year-old actress said she was really happy with how the brand handled their endorsement deal. '<i>Ang nakakatuwa sa nangyari sa</i> Mega Soft (hygienic products Inc.), hindi sila namimilit. Hindi sila mayabang na produkto. <i>Kumbaga napakabait nila, napaka</i>-humble <i>na pina-try muna nila sa amin at naghingi sila ng feedback sa amin. Di ba yung mga ganung bagay ina</i>-appreciate<i> yun kasi kumbaga willing sila malaman ang idea namin eh. Para sa akin</i> as an endorser<i> dapat may</i> say <i>sa</i> product at <i>saka magagamit dapat. Eto walang halong bola, nagustuhan talaga namin yung</i> Super Twins,” she admitted.</div><div><br/></div><div>With Pele turning two next February, Jolina said she is happy to have raised such a sociable child. Even during the event, he was seen playing and mingling with the guests while his parents were backstage. 'Since hands-on kami, lagi <i>kaming nakaalalay sa kanya tapos sanay na sanay talaga siya kasi pag sa taping sinasama ko siya, alam na alam niyang makipag-chikahan sa mga tao. Hindi siya yung sumpong na kapag ganitong oras na ayaw na niya or nagtatago na lagi. Mas masaya siya pag mas maraming tao. Mas</i> active<i> siya kapag ganun</i>,” Jolina said.</div><div><br/></div><div>It has even come to the point where Pele seems to have endeared himself more to the<i> ABS-CBN</i> staff according to Jolina. <i>“Kapag nasa</i> taping,<i> parang si</i> Pele <i>minsan inuuna pa siyang hinahanap ng </i>staff<i> bago sila mag</i>-hi <i>muna sa akin</i> (laughs). <i>Inuuna nilang hanapin si Pele kasi nga sanay silang nandun. At saka yung mga tao sa taping or sa kahit saan alam na nila na may konting</i> adjustment<i> kasi may kasama akong bagets. Pero since si </i>Pele <i>ay hindi pasaway, kumbaga mahal din siya ng mga kasamahan ko,</i>” she added.</div><div><br/></div><div>Christened Pele Inigo Escueta, Jolina said her husband can better explain how they were able to decide on his name. Mark, who is a drummer for Rivermaya, admitted he chose the name Pele not just because he is a soccer fan. 'Yung pangalan na Pele,<i> dahil may kanta kaming Himala so naghahanap ako ng </i>name <i>na </i>same meaning <i>ng himala. Pero wala akong makita until nag-research ako sa iba ibang </i>languages and in Hebrew<i> pala</i>, miracle is<i> pel</i>e. So <i>dun nanggaling. And mahilig din ako sa </i>football so Pele is a football star <i>kaya ayun,</i>” he explained.</div><div><br/></div><div>Even as a performer, Mark admitted he has yet to get used to being part of his wife’s industry, especially now that they are endorsing a product together. <i>'Hindi</i> (laughs).<i> Hindi pa rin. Pero </i>anything<i> na matutulong ko sa </i>family<i> namin, gagawin ko. Lalo na</i> something as important as this na para sa family, gusto rin namin maging inspiration sa mga existing at future families<i> sa bansa natin</i>,” he added.</div><div><br/></div><div>During the Super Twins diapers presscon, Jolina also admitted that they are already preparing to expand their family with baby number two. '<i>Parang naisip namin</i> next year<i> mga siguro sa</i> last quarter. <i>Siguro mga</i> November 3. <i>Wah, may date pa! (laughs) Hindi siguro mga </i>next year<i> pa, ganun</i>. Sana girl <i>ang </i>next,” she shared.</div>
