After seeking the help of fellow lucky star Jopay Paguia in choosing the briefcase he would open in the fifth round, celebrity player Cris Villanueva turned to another colleague for assistance—Mommy Ganda, one half of the popular content creator duo “The Aguinaldos.”
Mommy Ganda suggested that he pick number 17, which had been assigned to Long Mejia—whom she mistakenly called “Lolong”—right from the very start of the ongoing season of “Kapamilya Deal or No Deal.” Her maternal instinct proved correct, as Long’s briefcase was later revealed to contain only P200.
During Luis Manzano’s conversation with Banker regarding the sixth offer, the host relayed that Banker told him about noticing the undeniable chemistry between Long and Mommy Ganda, especially while they were seated side by side in the lucky stars’ area. This prompted Luis to ask Mommy Ganda whether she also felt sparks between them, to which she replied that Long actually resembled her husband.
Playing along with the banter, Long then told Mommy Ganda’s son—and the other half of “The Aguinaldos”—Lester, to start calling him “Papa Long” from that moment on.
