ApatnaDekada. Jollibee marks 40 years of
spreading joy with a new anniversary jingle, performed by two of the country’s
biggest stars, Gary Valenciano and Sarah Geronimo.

Entitled ‘ApatnaDekada’, the upbeat and heart-warming song
encapsulates four decades of joyful moments shared withgenerations of Filipinos
who have made Jollibee a part of their lives. The song was composed by Thyro
Alfaro in collaboration with Jollibee’s creative agency, McCann World Group
Philippines.
For the past 40 years, Jollibee has been a home to
stars who have served as their brand ambassadors. The stellar list includes
Sarah and Gary who headlined some of the most memorable Jollibee campaigns but
none quite as special as the 40th anniversary anthem.
One of the brand’s first endorsers, Gary shared how it
feels to have reached full circle,“I was happy then, overjoyed
now because it is 40 years later and I’m doing something with them again.”
For her part, Sarah has been a part of the Jollibee family
since 2005 and has since become one of the country’s biggest superstars,
growing a wider audience in the same way that Jollibee has continued to spread
its reach in the country and across the globe.
While recording the song, the two artists felt waves
of nostalgia as theylooked back at their own Jollibee moments with their loved
ones.
“‘Yung entirety nung message nungkanta,
inisa-isaniya ‘yung simple joys of life, ‘yung simple peromasagana, sincere at
totoong-totookasiakomismonakitako ‘yun, naranasanko ‘yun, at naramdamanko
‘yun,” shared Sarah.
Because the song struck a chord in both singers, they
agreed it would also easily resonate among many Filipinos. The Popstar Royalty
added,“Kasi ‘yung
Jollibee it’s not just a brand. Pinapahalagahantalaga ‘yung values ng pamilyang
Pilipino, at sakayungimportansya ng sayang pagigingisangbuongpamilya. Iyon
‘yungdahilan kung bakitnagingmalapitsapusonatingmga Pilipino ‘yung Jollibee.”
According
to Gary, he was very happy that the brand had gone global. “I think that
they’ve really been able to master that touch of going out of their way, maybe
even bending backwards, to stick to what is Filipino, through and through,and
it’s now creating an impact. Now people are seeing the consistency and I think
that’s something I commend them for. So I think expanding into other countries
is not only going to bring a piece of the product to them but it’s also going
to bring a piece of the Filipino heart to people all over the world,” he shared.
This
is the first taste of many surprises in store for Jollibee’s 40th
anniversary year-long celebration. Be partof this special milestone by watching
