It&#x27;s been a while since nagkaroon kami ng commercial ni Thirdy. Grabe, siyempre ang laki na niya,” Sta. Maria told reporters about her son, who is now turning 18 years old. </p><p>According to the actress, she was ecstatic to see Thirdy improve his acting skills during the shoot. </p><p>“Sobra lang akong na-proud sa kaniya na parang na sa acting skills ni bagets may pinagmanahan. Nakakatuwa lang,” she continued.</p><p>Sta. Maria revealed that the brand allowed Thirdy to style himself unlike their past ads when he was still younger where costume designers decide about his outfits. </p><p>“Before when we&#x27;re doing shoots, it was really the costume designers ang in charge sa susuotin. But with this one, talagang personal style niya &#x27;yun e. Kung ano &#x27;yung nakikita nyo, ayun si Thirdy,” she said. </p><p>“They allowed na sige kung sino talaga siya, &#x27;yun ang ipapakita na. What you see is what you get.”</p><p>Despite this, Sta.

Pero dahil lumaki na medyo nahihiya na. Si Thirdy kasi introvert &#x27;yun so I know kung gaano niya in-effort &#x27;yung commercial. And I&#x27;m happy sa kinalabasan,” she added. </p><ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/04/14/23/joshua-garcia-drops-cozy-snaps-with-jodi-sta-maria">LOOK: Joshua Garcia drops cozy snaps with Jodi Sta.
