Jollibee is first Global Pinoy brand awardee at 7th Mega Pinoy Pride Ball

Sunday, July 10, 2016

     In celebration of Philippine independence, Mega Magazine hosted anew the annual Pinoy Pride Ball, to honor homegrown talent—contemporaries whose crafts have defied the odds to succeed in the global stage, and to ultimately become Pinoy Icons. 

     I've seen Pinoy talents posing in the red carpet for this yearly event. This is a yearly celebration of Pinoy's Finest- those who excelled in their respective areas that brought pride in our country. Among the recipients of the Pinoy Pride Ball’s 2016 Global Pinoy Award was Jollibee—easily one of the country’s most-loved brands—for providing millions of Filipinos with langhap-sarap food across the nation, and a taste of home around the world. See below why Jollibee got this award :)

The Search is On for the 6th Jollibee Family Values Awardees

Monday, June 20, 2016

     Family is the basic unit of society. Our character and values are molded inside our family. We also learn how to care for the community because of the traits that our parents taught us. It's always a good vibes to see and hear families think not only the welfare of the members but other families as well. 

     Are you familiar with Jollibee Family Values Awards? I presume that some of you have heard their stories and why they received such award from Jollibee. Sharing with you a short story of the families who won awards in the 5th Jollibee Family Values Awards (JFVA) plus the criteria for the 
Jollibee Family Values Award year six below.
The Search is On for the 6th Jollibee Family Values Awardees
     A family in Opol, Misamis Oriental is showing there is hope for peace in Mindanao. Through their advocacy of non-violent communication among Muslim and Christian faiths, the Mambuay family has been spreading peace and awareness nationwide, most especially in war-torn areas. Currently, they are conducting various peace seminars, particularly in Cebu and Bacolod, as well as teaching and nurturing less fortunate children.

     The Mambuay family is only one of more than 35 families who have been recognized by Jollibee, over the years, for their generosity, compassion, and a genuine concern for their fellowmen through its annual Jollibee Family Values Awards (JFVA). Now on its 6th year, the campaign continues its search for Filipino families who have made it their mission to help others with their advocacies. These families come from diverse backgrounds and social classes, and no matter how simple or ordinary, they serve as everyday heroes to uplift the lives of others. 

     Another JFVA awardee is the Capilos family of Quezon City. Winning a Special Citation for Education award in the 5th JFVA has given the family a much-needed publicity boost that has enabled them to gain more awareness for their advocacy as well as the trust of educators, in holding free trainings for public school teachers and students. These days, the family is determined to continue their advocacy to include other localities nationwide. They also strive to put more focus on the gains of the public school teachers. “We want to concentrate on the public schools in our vicinity so we can monitor the improvements in the teachers' skills and leadership,” said Jelson Capilos.

     “The extraordinary life stories of all the JFVA awardees in the last five years have never failed to inspire us, and we look forward to honoring more families who serve as everyday heroes for others. We hope to bring these triumphant tales of generosity, hope, kindness, love, and selflessness to the consciousness of more people, not just here but around the world,” said Jollibee Global Chief Marketing Officer Francis Flores. “Through their mission of improving the lives of others, these Filipino families truly make us proud to be Pinoy.”

Honoring a new batch of exemplary families

  • Interested parties who wish to nominate model families—including their own—must accomplish a nomination form (available for free in all Jollibee branches nationwide or for download at www.jollibee.com.ph/familyvaluesawards), and answer the questionnaire on the nominees’ suitability and eligibility. 
  • Entries may be sent via mail to the 6thJollibee Family Values Awards, Stratworks, Inc., 2/F Zaragoza Building, 102 Gamboa St., Legaspi Village, Makati City; or thru personal delivery to any Jollibee store nationwide.
  • The deadline of submission of nomination forms is on or before July 31, 2016.

Exemplary Filipino families may be nominated on the merit of the following criteria: 

     The magnitude of the contribution ofthe family’s advocacy, its relevance and impact on addressing the pressing needs of the community or its beneficiaries, the sustainability of the advocacy’s efforts, the degree of involvement of the family members in the cause, and their ability to surpass challenges and special circumstances on upholding their goals.

     The 6th Jollibee Family Values Awards will honor six winners from across the Philippines, including one OFW family. For the five local winners, a cash prize worth P300,000, a trophy designed by renowned sculptor Michael Cacnio, and P10,000 worth of Jollibee gift certificates will be awarded.

     Jollibee will also present special citation awards to equally exceptional families who promote the following advocacies: Environment, Education, Children, Persons with Disabilities, and Minority Groups. Recipients of these special citations—to be chosen from the 15 shortlisted national finalists—will bring home P50,000 in cash, a plaque of recognition, and Jollibee gift certificates.

Miss Universe 2015 and Jollibee 'Shares the Joy' with Pinoy Kids

Tuesday, April 05, 2016

     Our Queen Pia may be busy as a bee after reigning Miss Universe last year but she will always make time to visit the country to spread joy to kids and kids-at-heart. Pia once interviewed in Buzzfeed Philippines and revealed that she's a Jollibee fan and loves chickenjoy!

     While writing this article, my tummy rumbles after seeing the word chickenjoy. Sharing more of what happened during Pia's second trip home after the jump.
Miss Universe 2015 and Jollibee 'Shares the Joy' with Pinoy Kids
DREAMS OF A QUEEN. The orphans of Manila’s ERMA Foundation were all excited and asked questions about how Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach made her dreams come true. She gamely answered the questions of the kids and even gave pieces of advice.
Miss Universe Pia Wurtzbach trip to the country’s number one fastfood chain highlights:

1. On her second trip home since winning the much-coveted crown, the Miss Universe did not only drop by Jollibee, she also helped spread joy to 20 kids from an orphanage who were invited to a special Jollibee lunch party.

SQUADGOALS. Jollibee and Friends joined Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach when she threw a kid’s party for Manila’s ERMA Foundation, a center for orphans. The kids spent the morning with dance numbers, surprise games, and sumptuous meals of Chickenjoy and sundaes, and special gifts from the Miss Universe herself.
2. The Jollibee Buendia-Bautista branch, on the border of the cities of Makati and Pasay, quickly turned into a playground for four- to eight-year-old kids who – like Pia and her entourage - were served with a filling meal of two-piece Chickenjoy, chocolate sundae, and Peach Mango Pie. They were also treated to a special dance number by the Jollibee and Friends mascots.

3. During the short program, Pia also imparted some life-lessons to the kids during the simple program. “Importante na lagi tayong maging magalang sa mga nakakatanda sa atin, mag-aaral ng mabuti, at parating magdasal, lalo na bago kumain (It is important that we are respectful to our elders, study well, and always pray, especially before meals),” said Pia, addressing the children.

JOLLIBAE. True blue childhood friends, Jollibee and Miss Universe Pia Wurtzbach were reunited yesterday for a children’s party for the orphans at Manila’s ERMA Foundation. Growing up, Pia has always been a fan of the fastfood brand and even celebrated one of her memorable birthdays as a kid with a Jollibee party.
4. A symbol of hope and perseverance for Filipinos, Pia joined the local Binibining Pilipinas three times before winning the crown to represent the Philippines in the Miss Universe pageant. Her victory ended a 63-year drought since the country last won the Miss Universe crown and brought jubilation among Filipinos here and abroad. As a special gift to the kids, Pia distributed Jollibee toys and gamely posed for photos with them.
