Ralph Recto | Pandesal | Philippines

Filipino politician, Ralph Gonzalez Recto, has asked Campaign & Grey Philippines to notify the public of his commitment to good governance.

Ralph Recto | Pandesal | Philippines
Recto is said to be a scandal-free family man in the Philippines. The TV commercial features the real Recto family including his wife Vilma Santos-Recto, an award-winning actress and the current Batangas Governor.

Exploring the topic of corruption, the ad opens with an early morning scene around the breakfast table. Recto uses the traditional Flippino bread pandesal to explain social issues.


Translated synopsis:
Ryan: “Dad, why is there corruption?”
Mom Vilma: “Here’s some pandesal.”
(Recto looks at son Ryan, then signals stepson Luis. Recto passes the pandesal to son Ryan but stepson Luis intercepts the bread.)
Luis: “This is delicious! I’ll save some for you... There’s still some left.”
(Mom
Vilma looks on in amazement)
Recto: “Putting yourself first, means there’ll be nothing left for others.”
Mom
Vilma: “If only there’s no corruption, then there’ll be more funds to help the less-fortunate.”
Luis: “That’s why we have to fight against corruption. No corruption, no poverty.”
Recto: “And that’s what we’re going to do to help improve the lives of the Filipino family.”
Tagline: Fighting for the Filipino Family.
