In many of today’s Filipino homes, the “joy” of serving some dishes has begun to fade. Beloved meals like the humble omelet sometimes become repetitive, boring, and joyless, no longer sparking excitement at the family table.

With Filipino culture is deeply intertwined with family meals—a space where stories are shared, laughter is abundant, and bonds are strengthened—uninspired or “paulit-ulit” meals lose their ability to bring joy and excitement, leading to “pagsasawa” (boredom) for both kids and their parents.

In their latest heartwarming TV commercial, Filipino actress Judy Ann Santos and her daughter, Luna, perfectly capture this all-too-familiar scenario. Judy Ann, as a concerned mom, serves daily dishes to Luna, who shows visible signs that she wants something else, something better. Judy Ann wonders what she could do to make Luna enjoy her meals more—an instance relatable to many of today’s moms.

Then, a spark of inspiration strikes. Judy Ann reaches for a block of Eden Cheese, and with a few simple steps, her dull dishes are transformed into mouthwatering creations. Luna’s eyes light up with delight, Judy Ann dances with energy, and the kitchen is once again filled with joy and excitement.

The mother-daughter duo exemplifies how, with Eden Cheese, happiness can be served once again, bringing smiles back to families’ faces. With Eden as a source of true inspiration, more Filipino moms can be empowered and encouraged to create more delicious meals that will surely be loved by those who matter most to them. 

The video is more than just a commercial; it’s a heartwarming reminder of how Eden Cheese can enhance the flavors and versions of everyday dishes, empowering and inspiring moms to create meals that not only taste great but also help nourish the body —with milk vitamins (A, B2, D), Calcium, and Zinc—and warm hearts.

“At Eden, we believe that through every dish there is an opportunity to serve joy,” says Mark Banawa, Marketing Manager of Eden Cheese. “Our collaboration with Judy Ann Santos and Luna perfectly captures this belief. By showing how the simple act of adding Eden Cheese can help transform a “paulit-ulit” meal into an exciting experience, we hope to empower moms across the Philippines to rediscover the inspiration of home dishes, helping them to win against the ‘sawa’ that’s likely being experienced.”

Judy Ann Santos, a dedicated mom, shares her excitement and perspective about the collaboration. “As a mom, I always want to create meals that my family loves. Presenting this story with Eden Cheese and my daughter Luna has been a wonderful experience. We’re all reminded that we can make every meal special with simple creativity and the right ingredients. Kaya ngayon, maghain tayo ng saya, lahat tayo mga moms ay ma-inspire na with Eden.”

Eden invites more moms to be inspired and join the “serving joy” movement for their families. Whether it’s adding a creamy and “malinamnam” twist to an old favorite or experimenting with new versions of their daily recipes, Eden Cheese is their partner in creating joy in every bite.
