Paras expressed excitement about the show, saying: Masusubukan talaga ang cooking skills ko sa show na ito kasi mga bigating celebrities ang makakasama ko sa kusina. Kung dati I only cook my recovery meals, ngayon hilig ko na din magluto for my family. And at home, I only use Bounty Fresh products kasi sigurado ang quality and health benefits kaya yun lang ang binibili ko. Obvious naman ang effect diba? Poging pogi pa din ako!”
Ditto with Santos Zambrano: “I am thrilled to be part of The Bounty Plate and share a dish that is so dear to my roots. At home, I serve only Bounty Fresh chicken and eggs to my family.
