My 7th Jollibee Family Values Awards Experience

It was three years ago when a co parent of mine and her family received an award from Jollibee. It was Jollibee Family Value Award give to Filipino families that have exemplary advocacies that touch the lives of others.



This year Jollibee recognizes a new batch of exemplary Filipino families in 7th Jollibee Family Values Awards.

Going beyond their capacity, these families extend help financially, emotionally and spiritually to able to touch other people’s life and future
