This Christmas, Jollibee takes a more heartfelt turn—focusing on what makes the season meaningful: FAMILY.

In a time when life feels busier, distances grow longer, challenges arise, and many Filipinos find themselves away from home, Jollibee’s newest holiday campaign, “Buo ang Saya ng Pasko,” uplifts our spirits and reminds us that true joy is found in togetherness with family—however it’s formed: by blood, by bond, or by choice.

Through a series of touching vignettes in its new Christmas film, Jollibee captures how both typical families and different versions of Filipino families now come together -- There’s the nurse celebrating a night shift with hospital staff, a security guard sharing laughs with fellow workers, a couple treating their beloved pets like family, a single mother and her daughters finding joy in a simple Jollibee meal and a large family celebrating Christmas reunions across generations.

Says Dorothy Dee-Ching - VP and Head of Marketing, Jollibee Philippines:

"What makes Filipino Christmases so special is the love we share and the joy we bring to one another. Family has always been at the heart of every Filipino Christmas, but we also know that times have changed. By embracing the many ways we now define family, we hope to rekindle in everyone the true meaning of joy this season — that Christmas is complete not when everything is perfect or traditional, but because no matter where we are or who we celebrate with, as long as we’re together and there’s Jollibee on the table, Buo ang Saya ng Pasko.“

Each story mirrors real-life moments of warmth and connection that make Christmas feel whole again. Accompanied with an original soundtrack, Jollibee’s new heartwarming film reminds us that even as the faces around the table change, as long as the family is together—Buo ang saya ng Pasko.

So, this Christmas, Jollibee invites you all to share the joy of togetherness with your family. As the film beautifully states, “Tunay ang ligaya basta’t tayo’y magkasama. Dito, sarap ang pinagsasaluhan. Buo ang saya ng Pasko.”

The visit
The energy felt classic Fridays: upbeat, friendly, and made for sharing plates. We kept it simple and ordered their icons plus a great-value set to sample more in one go.

What we ordered

From its Baguio roots to a growing presence beyond the highlands, Foam Coffee has officially made its way to Ilocos Norte. Known for quality brews, flaky pastries, and Asian‑fusion comfort food, Foam brings its “indulge in flavor” ethos a little closer to the North. If you’re planning your first visit, here’s a curated list of must-tries—complete with quick, helpful descriptions.

Drinks to kick things off

I’ve been loyal to Amian ever since my Vigan days—one of those cafés I kept returning to for a steady dose of Ilokano comfort and great coffee. So hearing that Amian is now in SM City Laoag made me genuinely happy. More branches mean more people get easy access to quality coffee and modern Ilokano food—exactly what Amian has been building all along.

A cafe with Ilokano roots

Amian (pronounced /a.’mjan/) means “northern wind,” a name that captures the brand’s Ilokano pride and sense of place. Beyond the name, their mission shows up in the details: making premium coffee experiences accessible to locals and creating a space where Ilokano flavors are modern, warm, and welcoming.

Championing local coffee farmers

One thing I really appreciate about Amian is how they support coffee farmers from Ilocos Sur—especially in Sigay. Their shop features 100% Robusta beans and Ilokos drip coffee with farmer-labeled packs (you’ll find names like Marieta Lidem, Ginalyn Gonzalo, Jean Apalet, and Byron Daplayan). It’s great coffee that’s sustainably and ethically sourced—and every cup feels connected to home.

What we ordered at SM City Laoag

Coffee

Amian Signature Latte, Sea Salt Latte, Salcedo Ice Blended

Starter

Federico Wild Tenders: Golden-breaded chicken drenched in Amian’s signature buffalo-style red sauce—fiery, tangy, unforgettable.

Brunch mains

Galileo Bagnet Hash: Ilocano comfort in a bowl—shredded bagnet, egg, and classic KBL over adobo organic red rice, with Amian vinegar on the side.

Isabelo Fried Chicken: Golden fried chicken with savory gravy, paired with organic red rice.

Abaya Bibimbap: Bibimbap Ilokano style.

Sandwiches and pasta

Burgos Roast Beef: Tender roast beef with melted cheese in buttery brioche buns—rich, savory, perfectly toasted.

Jalapeño Burger: A quarter‑pound jalapeño beef patty with melted cheese and Amian’s signature jalapeño sauce on toasted Amian bread.

Truffle Pasta: Spaghetti in a truffle butter cream sauce—comforting and indulgent.

Biscocho Breakfast Sandwich (Ilocos Norte exclusive): Pasuquin’s soft biscocho meets Batac’s iconic longganisa in a warm, savory egg mix—a fusion of sweet, garlicky, and buttery flavors. This one’s a must-try and a standout for the Laoag branch.

Why this new branch matters

Amian’s expansion into SM City Laoag makes their blend of culture-forward food and coffee even more accessible. If you’ve loved the Vigan or Candon branches, the Laoag spot brings the same warmth—with Ilocos Norte-exclusive bites that make the trip worth it.

Final sip

Whether you’re here for a thoughtful latte, a comforting Ilokano bowl, or a playful sandwich on Amian bread, this new Laoag branch captures what Amian does best: elevating local flavors while staying true to the North. See you at SM City Laoag—come hungry, leave happy, and don’t skip that Biscocho Breakfast Sandwich.
