it's good to know that some private sector like this keeps on giving a citation to deserving families out there, not only does it strengthen the abilities to provide motivational preferences for general public, it also uplift the true spirits and values of Filipinos, thereby, making each step even more appealing and beneficial to those in need.....thumbs up!
ReplyDeleteWow, good thing that Jollibee recognizes exemplary families such as their awardees. Not only that, they also gave money for those families to support them on whatever projects they were doing, to help their community and our country to progress. :)
