From Childhood Cravings to the Big Screen: Will Ashley Shares His “One & Only” Piattos Moment

Rising star Will Ashley isn’t just the new face of Jack ‘n Jill Piattos; he’s been a loyal fan long before stepping into the spotlight. Now, as he proudly represents the iconic Pinoy snack brand, Will brings a genuine connection that goes beyond the cameras.

Growing up with a brand he genuinely loves

Will’s journey from enjoying Piattos as a kid to becoming its ambassador feels like a full-circle moment, blending authenticity with star power and making his partnership with the brand all the more meaningful.

“I’m so happy and proud to be the newest Piattos ambassador, especially since it’s been my favorite snack since childhood,” he shared, recalling afternoons spent playing with friends and reaching for Piattos as their go-to merienda. “One of the reasons I love Piattos is hindi siya nakakaumay, I never get tired of it. I can easily finish a whole bag in one sitting,” he said, adding that each bag has always been his ultimate craving solver.

Discovering his passions

As one of showbiz’s promising new faces, Will has already begun carving out his path with his debut roles, proving that acting is a craft he naturally connects with. “Acting allows me to step into the shoes of different characters and embody their stories and struggles,” he said, emphasizing how comfortable he feels in front of the camera.

Beyond acting, his stint on Pinoy Big Brother (PBB) opened another creative door. “During my time in PBB, I developed a love and passion for music. Nakakatulong din that I have musician friends who inspire me and help me pursue this new craft,” he said.

Adding more flavor to his me-time moments

As a lifetime snacker of Piattos, one of Will’s favorite flavors is a classic: “It has to be Sour Cream & Onion. It always satisfies my cravings just like the other flavors of Piattos. I used to buy multiple bags whenever I hung out with friends.”

Sour Cream & Onion is also Will’s go-to Piattos flavor during his me-time moments. “I try to find time to listen to music, especially new local songs, or even catch up on my favorite shows and happenings.”

From childhood snack breaks to big-screen dreams, Will Ashley’s journey with Piattos is a story of growing up, chasing passions, and staying true to what you love. As he continues to shine in showbiz and explore new creative pursuits, one thing remains constant: Piattos will always be his “one and only,” a familiar favorite that has been with him every step of the way.

Puregold Highlights Sari-Sari Stores’ Role in Driving Grassroots Commerce and MSME Growth

In its final installment of the Sari-Sari Stories, Puregold releases “Pangalan,” a moving tribute to the sari-sari stores that continue to power daily life, grassroots enterprise, and community connection across the Philippines.

Following “Ways,” “The Sign,” and “The Witness,” Puregold broadens the conversation from nostalgia to economic relevance, highlighting how sari-sari stores continue to serve as accessible retail touchpoints, community anchors, and entry-level enterprises that support household livelihoods in the country.

Sari-sari stores go beyond informal neighborhood retail. They function as last-mile commerce points that respond to everyday consumer needs with proximity, familiarity, and flexible purchasing options. Their resilience has allowed them to remain relevant even as the retail landscape continues to evolve.

That economic role is matched by social relevance. At the heart of “Pangalan” is the idea that sari-sari stores are more than neighborhood shops: they are trusted spaces that people turn to not only for essentials, but for connection and reliability. The film captures this dual role in distinctly Filipino terms: the store as tanungan, tambayan, and takbuhan.

The narrative is reinforced by appearances of OPM artists Jhoanna Robles of BINI, Stell Ajero of SB19, and Skusta Clee, whose personal recollections reflect the deep familiarity of sari-sari stores in Filipino life. Their participation adds cultural relevance to a message ultimately anchored in enterprise, accessibility, and community-based retail.

Puregold’s focus on this segment remains rooted in mass-market demand and the practical realities of everyday consumption. By spotlighting community-based retail, the company reinforces its relevance at the grassroots level while drawing attention to the vital contribution of MSMEs to the domestic economy.

The timing is equally strategic, with MSMEs already looking ahead at the upcoming Puregold Tindahan Ni Aling Puring Sari-Sari Store Convention in May. The annual event has become a key platform for sari-sari store owners, entrepreneurs, and partner suppliers, underscoring Puregold’s enduring commitment to small business development and ecosystem growth.
