ORTIGAS, METRO MANILA — Sanicare, the Philippines’ trusted hygiene brand, announced its latest Care Ambassadors: actress and mom Jessy Mendiola-Manzano and her daughter, Rosie. 

The announcement was made at the Smart Parenting Mother’s Day Fair, held on May 9, 2026, at Robinsons Galleria-Ortigas. Now in its second year, the one-day event celebrates the shared heart of motherhood, bringing together moms from all walks of life. It was the perfect stage for Sanicare to introduce a partnership rooted in exactly that: real, everyday care for mothers and their little ones. 

A Mom Who Gets It 

Jessy Mendiola-Manzano has always been known for her authenticity, and stepping into motherhood has only deepened that quality. Married to actor Luis Manzano, she welcomed Rosie into the world and, by her own account, has never been the same since — in the best possible way. 

“The motherhood journey is life-changing,” she shares. And she means it in every sense: the early mornings, the mental and physical shifts, the quiet moments of doubt, and the overwhelming love that makes it all worth it. 

When it comes to describing her typical morning, the actress says that she’s always up at 5:30 AM for Rosie. And on the rare occasion she does drift back to sleep? That’s when her husband Luis steps in to save the day. 

But beyond the beautiful chaos of new mom life, Jessy is vocal about one thing she wishes more mothers heard: “Important ang support system TALAGA.” No mom should have to figure it all out alone, and she has made it her mission to say so. 

Sanicare: A Baby Care Companion for Every Mom 

As the new face of Sanicare’s Baby Care line, Jessy brings more than star power — she brings lived experience.

A genuine Sanicare user, she tells of how the brand has woven itself into her daily life, both as a professional and as a mom. 

Completing her routine for Rosie are Sanicare essentials like: 

• Sanicare Baby Wipes: Gently cleans babies’ delicate and sensitive skin.
• Sanicare Multi-Purpose Underpads: Helps make diaper changes, whether at home or outside, drier, more hygienic, and more manageable. 
• Sanicare Jumbo Cotton Balls: Made from 100% pure cotton, these extra-large cotton balls can cover more area of the little one’s skin.
• Sanicare Clean Hands Sanitizer: A gentle, no-rinse foaming sanitizer that kids will love.

“Sanicare caters to everything you need! It fits our daily lives. Sa work, kay Peanut,” shared Jessy, a sentiment that captures exactly what the brand has always stood for. 

Growing, Not Just Bouncing Back 

Jessy also opens up about one of motherhood’s most personal realities — the pressure to “bounce back.”  

Based on her own experience, she shares that becoming a mom changes a woman in every way: mentally, physically, and emotionally. But instead of resisting those changes, she believes moms should learn to grow through them.  

“When you look in the mirror, ibang tao na ang nakikita mo.” shared the actress”But you start your journey there. You grow… hindi na tayo babalik sa dati sa lahat ng aspects ng buhay natin.” 

For new moms navigating that in-between space, her advice is both honest and gentle: accept the change. Take care of yourself — because you can only give your best to your child when you’re also giving your best to yourself. And one day, she promises, you’ll look back and think, “Ang galing ko do’n.” 

It’s a message that aligns naturally with what Sanicare has always believed: that care starts with yourself, and from there, it extends to everyone you love. 

With Jessy and Rosie as its newest addition to the family, Sanicare reaffirms its commitment to walking alongside Filipino families at every stage of life — from the earliest days of motherhood to every milestone, memory, and moment that follows.
