‘Ayaw kuminis, sinabon ko naman’ TVC model makes it to ‘StarStruck’

By MARY LOUISE LIGUNAS
 
Ayra Mariano, the girl who uttered the famous ‘Bakit ganun? Sinabon ko naman. Ayaw kuminis!’ line from the facial cleanser commercial, made it to the Top 35 of StarStruck season six.
 

The 17-year-old TV commercial model is grateful for the opportunity to star in a commercial that people remember.
 
“Sobrang pinagpapasalamat ko kay Lord lahat ng [blessings ko] lalo na dahil hindi biro ang maging part ng mga TVCs na ang linya ay tumatatak sa mga tao,” she shared.
 
Although she’s used to being on television because of several commercials, she admits to being scared and hesitant about auditioning for the reality-based artista search.
 
“At first, I was scared to join kasi hindi ako sanay sa mga contest sa TV dahil puro commercials lang ang nakagisnan kong gawin, [pero I took the risk and luckily], nakasama ako sa first call back,” she said.
 
Now that she has made it to the Top 35, she already feels like a winner because she sees that her dreams are slowly but surely becoming a reality.
 
“Sobrang blessed ako sa mga biyayang ipinagkakaloob sa akin na nakakapagbigay ligaya sa aking pamilya at good vibes sa ibang mga tao. I always believe,” she added.
 
The artista journey of Ayra and thirty-four other hopefuls will be aired beginning September 7 in the new season of StarStruck.
