Christmas 12/14/2021 05:18:00 PM

Christmas is a time for reunions and gathering with loved ones. For Filipinos, this is especially meaningful as OFWs and those living abroad get to come home and enjoy the unique Pinoy festivities with their friends and family. Even if most OFWs may not be able to make it back this year, there are still so many ways they can send their love home and make meaningful moments even from miles away.

GCash, the number 1 e-wallet in the Philippines, has allowed Filipinos to send money, grow their wealth and more for several years, and now offers hassle-free, swift and safe monetary transactions for Pinoys based out of the country, perfect for sending pada-LOVE home for Christmas. With over 30 accredited remittance partners where OFWs can cash into their GCash accounts or send money directly to their family's GCash number, making Filipino Christmas traditions easy no matter where you are in the world.

With just a working Philippine sim, a valid ID and a Philippine address, OFWs can access a full suite of GCash features to level up their Pamasko during the yuletide season.

4.Send love, send pamasko no matter where you are

For OFWs who simply want to send Aguinaldo home to their loved ones for Christmas, you can also send with a special holiday design made for the occasion! Send money with a clip through your own GCash account or if you don't have a Philippine sim card, you can still remit directly to your loved ones' GCash account through accredited partner outlets.

5.Light up GCash parols for daily discounts and prizes

GCash makes the holiday more special for OFWs with discounts and cash prizes given every day! GCash users may collect as many parols as they can and light them up to win up to Php1,000,000 in cash by sending money and transacting across the app. Here’s how:

7th Jollibee Family Values Awards: Search for Outstanding Filipino Families

7th Jollibee Family Values Awards 8/01/2017 06:00:00 AM

A family of six in Daet, Camarines Norte spouses education among the youth by running a library that has served the needs of pupils in four villages, improving the quality of learning in their area. In Saudi Arabia, another family is providing much-needed help to fellow OFW families in the Philippines and overseas, conducting medical missions, and providing education and livelihood seminars, among other projects.

These are some of the admirable families recognized in last year’s Jollibee Family Values Awards (JFVA). They joined the ranks of more than 45 families who have been recognized by Jollibee over the years for helping others with their advocacies and serving as an inspiration to others.

Now on its 7th year, the JFVA continues its search for families here and abroad who best exemplify positive Filipino family values such as generosity, compassion, creativity, resourcefulness, love for the community and environment, and strong ties.

“Now, more than ever, we need to highlight that despite the overwhelming challenges Filipinos face, there are still families who go out of their way to uplift the lives of other people and communities,” said Jollibee Global Chief Marketing Officer Francis Flores. “This is what the Jollibee Family Values wards celebrates, families who have become beacons for others to follow.”

Interested parties who wish to nominate model families—including their own—must accomplish a nomination form which can be downloaded at www.jollibee.com.ph/familyvalu esawards/, and answer a questionnaire that will establish the nominees’ suitability and eligibility.

Entries may be sent via mail to the 7th Jollibee Family Values Awards, Stratworks, Inc., 2/F Zaragoza Building, 102 Gamboa St., Legaspi Village, Makati City. Completed nomination forms may also be submitted at www.jollibee.com.ph/familyvalu esawards/ or emailed at jollibee.fva@gmail.com. The deadline for submission of nomination forms is on August 15, 2017.

Exemplary Filipino families may be nominated based on: relevance and impact of their advocacy in addressing the community’s pressing needs, long-term sustainability, magnitude of the advocacy’s contribution to the community, family members’ degree of involvement and participation, and ability to surpass challenges and special circumstances.

Five outstanding Filipino families will be recognized as grand winners of the Jollibee Family Values Award. Each family will receive a P300,000 cash prize, a trophy designed by renowned sculptor Michael Cacnio, and P10,000 worth of Jollibee gift certificates.

An OFW family from across the globe will receive the OFW Family of the Year award from Coca-Cola. The winner will also get a P300,000 cash prize, a trophy designed by renowned sculptor Michael Cacnio, P5,000 worth of Jollibee gift certificates, and a special prize from The Coca-Cola Corporation.

Jollibee will also present equally exceptional families with special citation awards for education (co-presented with National Book Store), environment, children, persons with disabilities, minority groups, and youth empowerment for their advocacies. Each awardee will get a P50,000 cash prize, a plaque of recognition, and Jollibee gift certificates.
