OMG!!! Just only 10 days left til the merriest event of the year which is truly the season of love and joy.

I truly love Christmas, we all do, right? I always look forward to Noche Buena, ’cause we’ve got the best foods & drinks, best hugs, the best conversations, best exchanging gifts, it’s truly a special dinner. You can’t feel the Noche Buena vibes if there’s no ham on the table.

For Kadenang Ginto star Dimples Romana, the new Brand Ambassador for CDO Premium Holiday Ham, Noche Buena and ham come hand-in-hand when it comes to creating memories during Christmas festivities. “Hindi buo ang Christmas handa namin kapah wala ang CDO Premium Holiday Ham. Yung salo-salo na sama-sama kayo, magdarasal kayo, kakain kayo, parang parte na rin talaga to have that ham there.”

See, you can’t call Noche Buena a Noche Buena if there’s no ham. It’s a tradition that we, Filipinos, grew up with and something that we continue.

For Dimples’ familes – the Romanas & the Ahmees, they alwaus celebrate together at home during Noche Buena. “We make it a point that no matter how busy we are (to be together),” she shares.

Another good thing about their Noche Buena is that each year has a theme. “Minsan Pinoy, minsan Spanish, pero ang hindi nagbabago, yung CDO Premium Holiday Ham. Favourite siya no matter what theme we do for Christmas.”

More than just a celebrity endorser, Dimples is very choosy about what she gives her family. The delicious smoky flavor with pineapple sweetness of CDO Premium Holiday Ham fits her choice because it is made from tender pork pigue, the finest cut in making a ham, and has absolutely no extenders. Plus, it is guaranteed ASF-safe as it is pork that was carefully sourced from credible suppliers!

As someone who knows her way around the kitchen, Dimples is excited by how CDO Premium Holiday Ham has leveled up the pineapple flavor by adding even more pineapple glaze. “You don’t need to bother boiling CDO Premium Holiday Ham in pineapple juice as it has already been cooked in the sweet indulgence of pineapple,” she shares.

Recognized recently as one of the best by the Asian Academy Creative Awards for her role as Daniela in Kadenang Ginto, what got Dimples most excited about shooting about CDO Premium Holiday Ham commercial was not about acting. “Siyempre, ang pinakaunang tinanong ko, meron po bang CDO Premium Holiday Ham sa TVC shoot? Ha ha ha! Naghanap talaga ‘ko.”

A certified foodie, Dimples confesses. “Hindi ko alam if it’s the Kapampangan in me, bukod sa masarap akong magluto, masarap din akong kumain. Iba kasi kapag ine-enjoy mo talaga. It shows how passionate you are about things. Not only for food but for life. Alam mong ine-enjoy mo ang buhay mo at kumakain ka ng gusto mong kainin at nasi-share mo sa pamilya mo.”

That’s Dimples Romana for you. A premiere actress who only wants the best for her career and her family. As the new face for CDO Premium Holiday Ham, she sums up what makes it a stand-out favorite and levels up the Noche Buena table. It’s a quality product that was created from the heart by CDO Foodsphere, Inc. to be shared with family and loved ones. A quality that is simply the best.
