In the previous years, when Jackie Chan trended on Twitter, it was because people were curious about the death hoax about him.
But it was different story when he became a trending topic on Twitter PH yesterday, August 19.
The Hong Kong actor-director easily gained traction on social media after he was introduced as the newest brand ambassador of the popular e-commerce platform, Shopee.
"I was worried when I saw Jackie Chan trending that he died," says Twitter user @robcham, retweeting Jackie's new TV ad.
Jackie even delighted Filipino fans with his moves as he danced to its LSS-inducing jingle and his Tagalog skills when he invited shoppers to join the 9.9 Super Shopping Day.

"I enjoy putting a smile on people's faces. It's exciting to partner with Shopee to celebrate the action-packed year-end festival and bring more joy to my fans and users.
"I had a lot of fun working with Shopee and I think people of all ages will enjoy the activities and content that we have prepared together. I hope everyone can join us to make the year-end shopping season a memorable one," said the 67-year-old martial artist in a statement.
Meanwhile, local fans also request for Jackie to collaborate with the "Father of Philippine Christmas" Jose Mari Chan, who is also a brand ambassador of the online shopping platform.
