nominees.
The finalists will vie for the six JFVA Family Awards and
six Special Citations during the Gabi ng Parangal para sa Pamilyang Pilipino,
the search’s culminating event, on October 11 at Crowne Plaza Hotel.
Jollibee’s 11-member panel of judges, co-chaired by
Senator Sonny Angara and Father Jett Villarin of Ateneo de Manila University,
will determine the winners of this year’s search. The body is also tasked with confirming the
JFVA partners’ recommendations for special citations.
First-time judge Fr. Villarin shares, “This is an eye
opener for me. I have worked with Jollibee on several fronts, but this one,
it’s heartening. I think that Jollibee is on target when it comes to values
being honed, not only in individuals or groups, but as a family.”
His co-chair, Senator Angara, agrees: “Fr. Jett is man of
the cloth and I’m a man of the law, but in both areas, the family is
(considered) the basic unit. You want to build a better society? Start with the
family.”

Jollibee’s Flores says, “It is a monumental task for us to identify the JFVA’s winners, but a joyful one nonetheless. We are grateful for all families who have joined us over the years and have, no doubt, poured their heart and resources into their advocacies.”
Five exemplary families and one OFW family will each
receive a P300,000 cash prize, Jollibee gift certificates worth P10,000, and a
trophy designed by renowned sculptor Michael Cacnio. A P50,000 cash prize,
