A shampoo commercial will feature as endorsers the so-called Most Beautiful Women of 2008, namely beauty queen Ruffa Gutierrez, TV soap princesses Judy Ann Santos and Claudine Baretto and controversial “kissing lady” Gretchen Barretto. Considered to be a casting coup in the ad industry, the four ladies represent her own genre of beauty and class.

If the modus will work out well, both networks will surely rake in monumental profits. Analysts, however, do not see this move to end the “war” between the two channels.
