After all the controversies and heavy promotion, the much-hyped teleserye, Maria Mercedes is reportedly not doing well in the ratings game months after its pilot airing. Allegedly, production team is in the doldrums for failing to hit the target numbers. As we all know, low ratings results in poor advertising placements - the nightmare of any producer.

The show which stars pretty and hot actress, Jessy Mendiola, opposite hunk actors Jake Cuenca and Jason Abalos, has been having a rough time sailing and proving itself among the other successful teleseryes of ABS-CBN network. Critics say that casting seems to be one of the show's major dilemmas – pointing out that there is just no chemistry among the players. Viewers quip that cast are mismatched in the roles assigned to them.

People behind the show's publicity, one of them, Eric John Salut, has supposedly been trying to give the show more oomph and excitement through various gimmicks possible – or publicity stunt, to be more accurate.

Hence the Jessy Mendiola video with ace UAAP cagers, Jeric and Jeron Teng, has started going viral. The video, recorded inside a popular fast food restaurant, (with Jeron introducing what the video was all about) shows Mendiola clad in a red figure-hugging, sexy outfit walking towards the direction of the shocked Jeric who was eating, sat down in front of him and tried to tease the cager.

Jessy, who is the current endorser of the fast food giant, became the hot topic that trended online for a day after the video, produced by the fast food chain went viral.

We hope that this gimmick, for all its worth, can help alleviate the disappointing showing of Maria Mercedes.
