Event attendees formed a long queue at JDI’s booth to have their Solignum and Sureseal 2019 calendars signed by Benjie, ambassador for elastomeric sealant Sureseal, and Rizza, calendar girl for the Superbrand-recognized timber expert Solignum, who also gamely posed for selfies and groufies with fans.
Dubbed as the biggest building and construction show of its kind in the Philippines, Philconstruct is an annual gathering of the country’s leading suppliers and thousands of trade buyers in a single venue, with over 1,500 brands and products from 23 different countries.

Benjie, a first-timer at Philconstruct, said interacting with customers and making them smile were what made him excited about his partnership with JDI. Now on his third year as brand ambassador for Sureseal after renewing his contract last May, the PBA star proudly revealed that Sureseal was used for the roofing of their new house. “I know that it really works,” Benjie said. “It’s one of the reasons why I renewed my contract.
“We also used Solignum and Woodshine, ‘yun ‘yung marami akong naubos.”
Knowing that JDI’s products are reputed to be of superior quality, Rizza, meanwhile, said she didn’t think twice about signing up with JDI for her first calendar modeling stint. In fact, Rizza disclosed that her father used Solignum wood preservative for their home.
