It's not hard to like her the minute you see her sitting in front of a computer in her duster, scolding the monitor. So it's no surprise that Lola Techie, the star of Bayan Telecommunications' ad campaign for its DSL service, has achieved semi-celebrity status in a matter of months, racking up over 95,000 fans on Facebook and more than 2,000 followers on Twitter.
Like the stars of hit television ad campaigns before her, Lola Techie Cruz, a.k.a. Lola Tessie Moreno, who describes herself as "just a simple grandmother," will be crossing over to show business when she stars in an episode of Maalaala Mo Kaya with Mickey Ferriols this September. She's also been filming scenes in Tanging Pamilya with Ai Ai delas Alas and Joseph Estrada (yes, that Joseph Estrada), scheduled to come out in December. SPOT.ph sat down with everyone's favorite lola and found out that there's nothing simple about this 67-year-old grandmother of 16.
