  • McDonald’s PH and Coca-Cola’s “Share the Light” to more communities this Christmas

    McDonald’s Philippines (Golden Arches Development Corporation) returns with its partnerCoca-Cola Philippines to brighten the holiday season for communities through Share the Light celebrations and 1.5 million pieces of Happy Meal toys to be turned over to different communities nationwide.

    ‘Share The Light’ is an initiative of McDonald’s Philippines and Coca-Cola Philippines which aims to spread kindness and cheer to partner communities in time for Christmas.

    “At McDonald’s, it is important for us to make a positive impact in the lives of Filipinos—whether it is our customers, partners, or families in need–especially during this time of the year. We are very happy to once again partner with Coca-Cola to share feel-good moments with Filipino families through our food,” said Kenneth S. Yang, CEO and President of McDonald’s Philippines

    Sharing Kindness, Spreading Cheer

    This year, Share the Light brought in fun games, various activity booths, and rice meals offered during the event. Families also took home noche buena packs consisting of a 6-pc McShare Box, 1.5L Coke bottle, and Happy Meal toys. Employees from both McDonald’s and Coca-Cola also volunteered to serve meals and help host the festivities.

    “During our celebration in Quezon City, we were able to spread cheer to 100 families. Next year, we hope to extend this celebration to more partner communities. Beyond the holidays, our goal is to share the light we experience not only during this season but every day. Through Ronald McDonald House Charities’ McDonald’s Kindness Kitchen, we are able to serve warm meals to communities in need.” Kenneth S. Yang, CEO and President of McDonald’s Philippines added.

    Both Share the Light celebrations were done in communities supported by McDonald’s Philippines’ charity of choice, Ronald McDonald House Charities, through its Bahay Bulilit Learning Center program. Bahay Bulilit stands as one of McDonald’s Philippines’ flagship programs, offering children a safe space to play and learn while their parents work. The goal is to establish nationwide learning centers in areas where they are most needed, and this is achieved through partnerships with the DSWD and local government units. Currently, there are 39 learning centers nationwide through this initiative.

    The next Share the Light celebration will be on December 19 in Cebu and will bring joy to at least 300 more families. As part of this year’s initiative, McDonald’s Philippines will also be giving 1.5 million pieces of Happy Meal toys to various communities nationwide.

  • KFC Kentucky Town Christmas lights up the BGC Skyline to mark the start of the yuletide season

    KFC Philippines rings in the holidays in a major way–pulling out all stops to light up its Bonifacio Triangle branch–kicking off a series of activities geared at making this Christmas a season to remember.

    Adorned with all the things that make Christmas simply the most wonderful time of year, KFC Bonifacio Triangle in BGC shone spectacularly at a lighting ceremony held on December 6, 2023–the first leg in a series of events for KFC Kentucky Town Christmas.

    KFC Kentucky Town Christmas 1

    KFC understands just how much Pinoys look forward to this time of the year–an anticipation that starts as early September, when the malls start playing Christmas tunes. Of course, there are challenges for some–tight budgets, long hours in traffic, and the holiday rush that can dampen the festive spirit.

    This is why KFC chose to kick-off Kentucky Town Christmas in a way that sparks hope–lighting up one of its branches to signal that no matter the Christmas, KFC is there to help you celebrate through a bucket (or two) of its finger lickin’ good friend chicken.

    Kentucky Town Christmas is also KFC Philippines’s way of saying its huge thanks to all its Pinoy fans who continue to enjoy its world-famous, and world-loved fried chicken–whether at one of its 372 stores nationwide or any of the 145 countries where the Colonel’s secret recipe is served.

    The ceremonial lighting is only the first of many exciting things customers can watch for under KFC Kentucky Town Christmas. So, keep your eyes peeled and your ears perked for the Colonel’s next surprise. Because KFC is all about the spirit of giving. *wink wink*

    Looking to witness for yourself the dazzling display of yuletide cheer – KFC style? Just head over to the KFC Bonifacio Triangle store located at 11th Ave corner 39th St., BGC Taguig.

    Celebrate your way and be merry whenever you want by ordering a bucket of KFC Chicken at any KFC store near you via dine-in, take-out, or drive-thru.
