MEGA Sardines' Christmas family drama ‘Adulting’ is a real weeper

Prepare your hankies for MEGA Sardines’ Christmas family
 drama titled “Adulting,” its second short film under the
 #MegaGandaAngBuhay campaign.

Following the success of its first viral video “Tipidity,” MEGA Sardines, the Number 1 sardines brand in the Philippines, takes viewers on an emotional roller coaster ride this Christmas season through “Adulting,” its second short film in its #MegaGandaAngBuhay trilogy.

While “Tipidity,” which has so far garnered about 4 million views, depicts the quirks and realities in a newly married couple’s life, “Adulting” tugs at one’s heartstrings as it navigates the tricky waters in a mother-daughter relationship.

 “Adulting” tells the story of a young female professional
who yearns for more independence even as her mother
practices tough love when dealing with her. 

“Adulting” tells the story of Angeli, a spunky young female professional (played by Crystal Paras) who yearns for more independence even as her mother Aling Lorna (played by Ruby Ruiz) practices tough love when dealing with her. “Adulting” can be viewed on MEGA’s official Facebook page www.facebook.com/officialmegasardines and YouTube channel (Mega Global).

Director and public relations specialist Chris Cahilig says “Adulting” best embodies MEGA Sardines’ new #MegaGandaAngBuhay campaign, which aims to present timeless Filipino values and snippets of everyday life through compelling and very relatable narratives.

“Have your hankies on hand because ‘Adulting’ will surely resonate with your hearts and dredge up a few memories of your own,” he adds.
