Jamela Villanueva, ex-girlfriend of actor Anthony Jennings, is stepping into the limelight as the newest brand ambassador of a dental clinic which unveiled her endorsement with a billboard launch.
The brand, Ampong Dental Essentials, officially launched her endorsement with a billboard located in EDSA, marking a fresh start for Jamela following the publicized fallout from her past relationship with Anthony, with the rumored involvement of the latter reel partner Maris Racal in their split.
Ampong Dental Essentials posted a photo on its official Facebook page showing Jamela featured in their billboard.
“Our billboard is up! Meet our newest ambassador, Jamela Villanueva, as she joins Ampong Dental Essentials in celebrating fresh beginnings. Because Every Smile Tells a Perfect Story,” the caption read.
Prior to this, the brand teased to guess their celebrity endorser in exchange with cash prize worth P80,000.
“Guess The Ambassador. Clue: Not all PERFECTION is sung; some just simply smiled,” the brand wrote.
It is worth noting that Maris recently released her new single “Perpektong Tao,” months after cheating controversies spread about her and the former couple.
During the press launch, Jamela shared her thoughts on forgiveness and moving on.
When asked if she was willing to settle things with Anthony and Maris, she responded: “Opo naman. Sabi nga nila, Diyos nga nagpapatawad e.”
She also extended well wishes to the two who are currently starring in the newest Kapamilya action series “Incognito,” saying, “I wish them well. ‘Yun naman po talaga.”
However, Jamela admitted that healing is a process, saying: “Nasa process pa rin po. Kasi ang forgiveness po ay hindi naman madaling process pero I’m getting there.”
Jamela also expressed gratitude for the support of her brother and close friends, who have helped her cope with the situation.
Reflecting on her viral Instagram post, where she shared screenshots allegedly exposing Anthony’s connection with Maris, Jamela explained that she reached her breaking point.
“Siguro po na-push din po talaga ako kasi ang daming nangyari,” remarked Jamela.
She added, “I’m just a normal person. I don’t have anyone to defend me. Ang hirap kasi na you are judged by the people kahit alam mo naman ‘yung totoo.”
