MANILA, Philippines — Remember when McDonald’s released a video starring a heartbroken Elisse Joson reliving a past breakup and welcoming change?
As a follow up, McDonald’s recently released a sequel telling the same story from the perspective of her ex-boyfriend, Tony Labrusca.
In this heart-wrenching continuation, you’ll find a lone Tony having a serendipitous encounter with Elisse at the same McDonald’s where they broke up. Right before he makes up his mind to walk over to her table, Mccoy de Leon snags the spot. Cue music: ‘Tuloy Pa Rin.’
The video struck a chord in the hearts of millions of Filipinos.
30 minutes after its online release, the hashtag #TuloyPaRin began trending on social media. Within three hours, it hit 1 million views on Facebook. As of 5 pm on March 29, the tally is at 4.1M views and counting.
Reactions also zoomed in on Tony’s very relatable performance of a regretful and heartbroken ex.
Who’s the guy?
Anthony “Tony” Labrusca is a 21-year old actor, model, singer, and gymnast who grew up in Canada. As an artist, he’s following the footsteps of his mother, Angel Jones, who was a member of the ‘90s band Kulay.
