"Jaw-dropping kasi 'yun! Adriel, 'yung last na ginawa mo, napanganga talaga ako," Maja Salvador told the two.

"Hangang-hanga ako sa inyo. 'Yung komunikasyon niyo sa isa't isa, kung paano kayo nagja-jibe, at kung paano kayo sumasayaw together, it complements each other, at 'yun ang importante diyan," Billy Crawford added.

Multi-awarded actress Jodi Sta. Maria is taking time off from the limelight to focus on a project that has been in the pipeline for 13 years.

On Monday, February 24, Jodi launched her own revamped YouTube channel - The JSM Channel.

Speaking to a few invited media outlets and vloggers, Jodi shared that her online channel hopes to bring inspiration, kindness and positivity to its viewers with the first three shows that they produced.

“Live Light” is an inspirational and information talk show wherein Jodi, together with subject matter experts, will discuss topics and issues that needs to be talked about. Sensitive issues are inevitable according to Jodi, that's why she invited experts to give professional insights and advice.

“JSM Travel and Tours” may sound like a name of a travel agency, but yes, Jodi is retaining her passion for capturing her travels. "Kadalasan, we take a piece of that place with us but this time I want to leave a piece of my heart to that place" said Jodi.

“Let's Drink to That!” is a fun chitchat show with Jodi and two of her friends - AC Soriano and Cheena Crab. The show aims to celebrate victories and success stories hoping to spread positivity and inspire other people to champion their journeys.

Now that she'll be a certified vlogger, Jodi rallies behind the crusade of debunking fake news and misinformation online. "You have followers, knowing you have a platform, I just hope that these platforms are used responsibly, 'coz you just don't know kung sinong buhay ang naapektuhan ninyo dahil sa mga fake news na lumalabas."

She added, "So if you're given a platform, use it responsibly. Use it wisely."

Setting up a Youtube channel can be a challenge and expensive, what more a channel with three shows premiering. Jodi said, this is an investment she is willing to invest to.

"I am investing in this show because I believe in the show's cause. Pinaniniwalaan ko talaga (ito)."

JSM Channel will go live on March 4. “Live Light” will premiere on March 4, 7 p.m. “JSM Travel and Tours” will start on March 6, 7 p.m., while “Let's Drink to That!” will take its first sip online on March 9, 11 a.m.
