Thursday, February 2, 2023

Jollibee kicks off its 45th year celebration by inviting people to share the joy with a fun and entertaining 3D billboard featuring the iconic Jollibee mascot and the best tasting Chickenjoy!




Those traversing along the southbound side of EDSA near Boni Avenue and Guadalupe are in for a visual treat, as they will be greeted by a dancing Jollibee mascot who eventually turns to the static billboard beside it, grabs a piece of the crispylicious, juicylicious Chickenjoy, and passes it outwards, enticing motorists and commuters to grab a bite of and share their all-time favorite fried chicken.

The 3D billboard shows Jollibee passing a piece of Chickenjoy outwards, enticing passersby to Share the Joy through their favorite meals with their families and friends.

With its 45th anniversary theme of Share the Joy, Jollibee hopes to continue its mission of serving great-tasting food, bringing the joy of eating to everyone.

“We are excited to celebrate our 45th year milestone with everyone who has been part of the success of Jollibee. Foremost of which are our customers who have continued to patronize our brand and our food. We are proud and happy that we have been part of the many memorable moments of generations of Pinoys, not just here but abroad, and we invite everyone to continue sharing the Joy of Jollibee with their families and friends,” said Ferns S. Yu, Jr., President of Jollibee Philippines.

Apart from the 3D billboard, Jollibee is set to launch several exciting initiatives to enjoin everyone to be part of the celebration. This includes a new music anthem video featuring top celebrity artists plus special promotions and exclusive offerings all throughout the year.

“For 45 years and counting, Jollibee has consistently shared the joy through our delightful customer experience, inspiring and impactful communications, meaningful and memorable brand experiences and of course our best-tasting, value-for-money food that everyone has grown to love. We are excited to celebrate our 45th year milestone and Share the Joy with everyone to thank you for all the support and love for Jollibee through the years.” said Dorothy Dee-Ching, Vice President and Marketing Head of Jollibee Philippines.

SG-based Gigacover Sustains Growth in Ph

Singapore-based insurtech company Gigacover recently announced a milestone partnership with Spanish insurer MAPFRE Insurance to improve 360 protection for Filipino individuals and businesses. Following increased reports of challenged platform workers in transportation and logistics, Gigacover’s collaboration with the global insurance provider also underscores the need to improve coverage for underserved delivery riders.




“Seeing recent developments in providing adequate protection for platform workers across the region, we work hand in hand with insurance partners like MAPFRE to develop more products and services that would encourage better working conditions in the sector,” said Amerson Lin, co-founder and CEO at Gigacover. “True to our mission of protecting the underserved, we are confident that this partnership will help us secure our communities further.”


The partnership will generally highlight Personal Accident and Income Protection coverage for Filipino workers to provide them with safety nets while on the job.

Leading 360 Protection for Platform Workers


According to the Fairwork Philippines Ratings 2022 report, there are only a few platforms in the country that provide personal accident insurance for delivery riders. The report also shows that there are no companies that provide sick pay benefits commensurate with the rider’s earnings during the first three months of employment.


“Speaking to our partners in transportation and logistics, we also understand how valuable daily wages are for delivery riders,” said Lin. “These unfair work conditions highlight the importance of providing earnings protection for our gig workers, which secures their wages during sick days.”


Gigacover’s Income Protection Insurance has protected over 30,000 workers through partnerships with gig platforms such as Pick-A-Roo, EXOAsia, and a 300,000-strong freelance online community. In support of the Philippine government’s call to improve protection for gig workers, Gigacover will continue to find more solutions to improve its offerings.

Sustaining Growth and Extending 360 Protection to Niche Sectors


Following a successful year, which yielded a 10x growth in active policies from the start of 2022, Gigacover is now in a position to offer more products and services geared towards the recent challenges experienced by other vulnerable sectors. Gigacover is currently speaking to insurance partners to address challenges experienced by Filipinos suffering from mental health disorders, farmers going through financial troubles, and students going through post-graduation pressures.


“Gigacover goes deep into bringing protection solutions to emerging and underserved communities. This enables us to develop innovative products that address large market challenges that only a few or no other companies have paid attention to before,” said Lin. “We look forward to launching these new products in the coming year to help improve the quality of lives for more Filipinos through financial security made possible by customized and easy-to-use insurance.”

First retrofitted Emirates A380 enters service


The first Emirates A380 to be completely refurbished under the airline’s US$ 2 billion retrofit program has been deployed today on the Dubai-London Heathrow service, operating as EK003.

See this timelapse video of the retrofit work done on A6-EVM, the first of 120 Emirates aircraft to have completed its refurbishment.

"Customers will notice the difference the moment they step onboard – the spacious A380 will look and feel even more impressive and comfortable. With our latest interiors and products, this newly refurbished aircraft elevates our inflight experience in all classes of travel, and enables us to offer more Premium Economy seats to meet customer demand. I’m particularly proud that this refurbishment work was designed, conducted and completed in-house at our facilities in Dubai, to the highest standards of quality and safety. It reflects the world-class aviation capabilities and infrastructure that exists within Emirates, and here in the UAE," said Sir Tim Clark, President Emirates Airline.

The fully refreshed A380 features Emirates’ latest products and interiors across all cabins, including 56 Premium Economy class seats on the main deck, and new color palettes evident in the carpeting and wall panels. On the upper deck, First and Business Class seats sport Emirates’ latest cream-colored leather upholstery and lighter-toned wood finishing, similar to the airline’s ‘game changer’ product. Emirates’ signature ghaf tree motif also features prominently throughout the interiors, including hand-stenciled panels in the First Class Shower Spa.

The next Emirates A380 aircraft lined up for its make-over is A6-EUW, and work is expected to be completed by the end of this month.

As the program progresses, engineers will work simultaneously on 2 aircraft. This means that one aircraft in the fleet will be withdrawn from service every eight days and transferred to Emirates Engineering facilities. By 2024, all 67 A380s assigned for refurbishment will have returned to service. Emirates will then begin work on its 53 Boeing 777s earmarked for this project. The airline expects to complete the program in 2025. 

To deliver the largest known aircraft refurbishment program in aviation history, Emirates recruited 190 new project personnel, and is working with 48 major partners and suppliers who have also hired hundreds of skilled workers.

Teams of engineers and technicians have worked round the clock, taking apart the entire interior of the A380 and refitting the parts again in a carefully planned and tested sequence.
