Jollibee emerged as Grand Champion at the 2026 Dinagyang Festival’s Mardi Gras Parade of Sponsors, one of the most anticipated events of the annual cultural celebration, drawing thousands of spectators to Iloilo City.

The country’s leading fastfood chain bested other parade entries with a vibrant presentation inspired by its iconic Chickenjoy and Yumburger, brought to life through energetic street dance performances by students of Iloilo National High School. The entry featured dynamic choreography, festive music, and colorful costumes that reflected both local culture and the brand’s joyful identity.
Aside from the Grand Champion title, Jollibee also garnered multiple special awards, including Best Street Dance, Best Festive Music, Best Festive Mascot, Best Festive Costume, and Best Festive Marquee.

“Being recognized at the Dinagyang Festival is deeply meaningful for us,” said Dorothy Ching, vice president for marketing of Jollibee Philippines. “But beyond the awards, what truly matters is being able to share moments of joy with the community and celebrate the rich culture and spirit of Iloilo together with the Ilonggos.”

Jollibee also drew large crowds during the ILOmination Float Parade, where its illuminated float and the Jollibee and Friends mascots engaged festivalgoers with lively dance performances, adding to the festive atmosphere of the city-wide celebration.

The brand’s Dinagyang activities began earlier in the month with a media day that offered partners a preview of its festival initiatives. Travelers arriving at the Iloilo International Airport were also welcomed by the Jollibee mascot, helping set a festive tone as visitors entered the city.
Throughout the festival period, Jollibee stores across Iloilo featured Dinagyang-themed decorations and activities, transforming branches into gathering spaces for families. The company also rolled out its “Likha Local: JOYful Arts Program,” an initiative that encouraged children to participate in the festivities through art and creative expression.
Jollibee’s continued participation in Dinagyang underscores its commitment to supporting local culture and community celebrations, helping amplify the festival’s spirit while creating shared moments of joy for families and visitors alike.

 

Joy filled communities across Cebu as Jollibee joined the celebration of the Sinulog season, sharing moments of happiness with families, tourists, and devotees during one of the country’s most meaningful cultural and religious festivities.

“Sinulog is a deeply important celebration of faith, culture, and togetherness for Cebuanos,” said Dorothy Dee-Ching, vice president for marketing of Jollibee Philippines. “We’re thankful to be part of the Sinulog season, and we hope that through simple moments of joy, we can bring smiles to both Filipinos and visitors joining the festivities.”
The celebration began on January 12 with Jollibee’s Sinulog Media Day, where media partners were given an early look at the brand’s activities for the season. This helped build momentum and community engagement ahead of the peak festivities.To welcome the steady flow of visitors arriving in Cebu, Jollibee staged airport activations at Mactan-Cebu International Airport from January 15 to 17. Travelers were greeted by Jollibee, received fun giveaways, and learned about special Sinulog offers, creating a warm and festive welcome in a key entry point in the province.

Throughout the Sinulog season, Jollibee stores across Cebu were transformed into vibrant spaces of celebration. Select branches featured festive arches, buntings, and air dancers, while digital teasers and influencer content extended the festive spirit online, allowing more people to join the celebration even beyond Cebu.

Adding to the excitement were exclusive Sinulog Festival Treats, including a free Go Large Coke upgrade with any Chickenjoy value meal and a free 1.5L Coke with every Chickenjoy bucket. These offers delighted customers while supporting store activity during the peak holiday period.
The celebration reached a high point during the Sinulog weekend, with flash mobs at major malls including Ayala Center Cebu, SM Seaside, and Robinsons Galleria, featuring the beloved Jollibee mascots alongside Sinulog inspired dance performances and interactive games. The fast food chain’s General Maxilom branch, located in one of the festival’s busiest parade routes, likewise hosted fun activities with the mascots and allowed customers to win exciting prizes. At the Sinulog Devotee City near the Basilica Minore del Santo Niño, Jollibee also shared moments of joy with nearly 1,000 pilgrims staying in the area.

The festivities culminated with Jollibee’s participation in the Sinulog Grand Parade, where the brand’s colorful float became a crowd favorite, reflecting Jollibee’s ongoing commitment to celebrating Filipino culture and traditions.

 

For many Filipinos, Chickenjoy is more than just fried chicken. It is a taste of home, a source of comfort, and a shared experience across generations.

Jollibee, the country’s no. 1 quick service restaurant, is now putting the spotlight on the meticulous craft behind its signature fried chicken with the launch of its new campaign, “Jollibee Chickenjoy: Masterfully Made Sarap.” The campaign highlights the care taken at every step, from marination and seasoning to breading and frying, to deliver the crispiness, juiciness, and flavor that customers have come to expect.

“Chickenjoy is more than fried chicken to Filipinos. It’s part of family memories, celebrations, and everyday moments of joy,” said Dorothy Dee-Ching, Jollibee Philippines’ vice president for marketing. “We take pride in every step of its preparation because we know how much it means to our customers. Every piece carries that same flavor and happiness that people have loved for generations.”

Bringing this connection to life on screen, actress Anne Curtis, a long-time Jollibee ambassador, stars in the campaign. Her participation highlights the brand’s enduring bond with its audience and shows how Chickenjoy continues to be part of Filipinos’ many joyful moments.Adding to its legacy, Chickenjoy was officially recognized as a Well-Known Mark by the Philippine Intellectual Property Office in 2025, affirming its strong reputation, widespread recognition, and enhanced legal protection both locally and internationally.

 

Filipino food lovers have more reasons to celebrate as Jollibee launches Chickenjoy Sarap Savers, a set of meals designed to let everyone enjoy the brand’s signature fried chicken without spending too much.

“Filipinos have always loved Chickenjoy, and with Sarap Savers, we want to make it easy for everyone to enjoy that joy anytime, whether it is a quick meal after a long day or a simple treat with the family,” said Dorothy Ching, vice president for marketing of Jollibee Philippines. “It is the same Chickenjoy taste people know and love, now at prices that are easy on the wallet.”

Jollibee is celebrating the Christmas season with its biggest holiday campaign yet as Filipinos across the country welcome the start of Simbang Gabi with back-to-back treats. The “Buo ang Saya ng Pasko” (The Joy of Christmas is Complete) campaign highlights the many ways Filipino families and communities celebrate the season today, creating a more joyful December for customers nationwide.

“This Christmas, Jollibee wants to remind every Filipino that the true joy of the season comes from being together. No matter where or how we celebrate, what really matters is celebrating with the people we love,” said Dorothy Ching, Jollibee Philippines’ vice president for marketing. “Totoong mas buo ang saya ng Pasko kapag magkakasama tayo at pinagsasaluhan ang mga paborito nating mga pagkain.”

A heartfelt film for the changing Filipino family

This year’s “Buo ang Saya ng Pasko” campaign features a touching Christmas film made in partnership with Forsman and Bodenfors Singapore. The film captures how Filipino families continue to evolve, showing real moments across different walks of life. It follows hospital workers sharing a Christmas meal during their shift, security guards bonding over simple food, couples treating their pets like family, single parents enjoying time with their children, and large families reuniting across generations.

Jollibee said the film celebrates the idea that while traditions change, the spirit of love and connection that defines a Filipino Christmas remains strong.
