Here's what's buzzing about Maine Mendoza and Vivo V17 Pro, the Flagship Smartphone of the brand Vivo. This is not a cover of a magazine or a poster for an upcoming movie. But fans and social media followers of Maine Mendoza will truly be surprised and intrigued on what the young actress is up to when they see a screen grab of her latest video for Vivo.

The image, a silhouette of Maine teasing with what appears to be Vivo’s latest flagship smartphone, the Vivo V17 Pro, has many of her adoring fans already speculating when the new handset would be launched in the country.

Aside from the screen grab, a new video which will soon be up on Vivo’s Facebook page, will also feature the celebrity, garbed in highly-fashionable dresses, completing wacky fan-tweeted 17-second challenges such as eating polvoron while reciting the alphabet, or stuffing marshmallows in her mouth.

Prior to teasing about the V17 Pro, Maine was introduced as Vivo’s brand ambassador and endorser in May following the launch of the Vivo V15 Pro and Blossom Pink special edition smartphones.

One of the most sought celebrity endorser is now with Vivo Philippines. Just recently, Vivo held a fun and fabulous launch for the Vivo V15 Blossom Pink with its newest endorser, Maine Mendoza. The event happened at the SM Megamall Activity Center.

TV personality and host, Maine Mendoza, was chosen by the leading smartphone developer because of her determined spirit – one that overcomes challenges and rises up from expectations.


Both feminine and fierce, the rising star is also the best ambassador for the limited-edition V15 Blossom Pink. The Vivo smartphone is pretty and powerful with its top-of-the-line features like the 32MP Elevating Selfie Camera but with an added a splash of color that levels it up.

Inspired by the look of the limited-edition Vivo V15 Blossom Pink and the fun-loving personality of their celebrity ambassador, the event was filled with splashes of Pink as well as picture-perfect, playful stations for the ‘gram.


At the event, Maine Mendoza showed her fans some love by interacting with those who were present at the event and answering their questions from Twitter on stage. The first 30 Vivo V15 Blossom Pink buyers were also treated with a meet and greet on stage with the young actress.

Plenty of exciting activities happened at the launch including an upbeat performance from young pop soul singer, Sassa. There were also hourly raffles and a grand raffle of Vivo goodies for the event attendees.


The Vivo V15 Blossom Pink will be available at selected dealers and Vivo stores nationwide starting from May 25.

Phenomenal Star Maine Mendoza is a hot topic once again. Recently, a new endorsement shoot of hers leaked online and her hawk-eyed legions of fans were quick to grab the receipts. She was spotted at what appears to be the pictorial shoot for Maxi-Peel and word has it, she's the new endorser of their latest product called Maxi-Peel ZERO.

Here's what we know: Word has it that she's looking for something more than just a basic cleanser, and she feels that her old brand simply doesn't make the cut anymore given her very hectic lifestyle. That's why she's making the switch. We've seen Maine endorse all sorts of products but over the years, she has become much more selective in terms of products and brands she works with, choosing only the ones that she truly believes in. This is why she's not just the top celebrity endorser in this country, she is also the most compelling. Just very recently, Maine was one of the winners at the 8th EdukCircle Awards bagging two awards, the Most Influential Female Endorser and the Best Female Variety Show Host.



Could this be the reason why Maine has been posting more selfies recently? Her supporters have been pointing out that her skin is to-die-for. Not a blemish in sight! And they are quick to add that her glowing skin is the perfect complement to her endearing personality.

Reese Dianson, a Maine loyalist, proudly exclaims: "Love namin si Maine because with her, what you see is what you get. Hindi mo siya mapipilit sa isang bagay na ayaw niya. Kaya kung magpapalit nga siya ng brand, yun talaga ang kanyang paniniwala. So kami, as true believers, lilipat din kami!"

For Becca Lizada who has followed Maine from the first time she made her debut at Eat Bulaga: "Si Maine, totoong tao yan. Walang halong kaplastikan. Bawat galaw at salita niya, yun siya sa real life! Kaya sa endorsements niya, choosy si Maine dahil pangalan niya ang nakataya!".

True or not, Maine's fans are buzzing with excitement and if it is, we're betting that just like any product she endorses, Maxi-Peel ZERO will soon be flying off the shelves, too.
