Cebuana Lhuillier Reveals the 10 category winners of the Search for the Happiest Pinoy
It
is said that laughter is the perfect body workout. According to science 20
seconds of laughter, even if it’s fake, is already equivalent to 3 to 5 minutes
of workout. What more if you’re
genuinely happy all the time and laughter just came naturally, aren’t you the fittest
person around?
In
the Philippines, happy people are dime a dozen, as one of the most resilient
people in the world, no matter the circumstances or the many challenges in
life, the Filipinos are known to face it with optimism, faith and a can-do
attitude. This is what Cebuana Lhuillier, the leading and largest
microfinancial services in the Philippines, wants to recognize and encourage
hence the Cebuana Lhuillier Search for the Happiest Pinoy.
In
what could be the biggest edition of their famous search, going through close
to 800,000 applications in the last few months, Cebuana’s search is almost over
as they officially reveal the 10 individuals who will vie for the 1m Tax Free
Grand Prize. Of course, the ten are already winners in their respective
categories but the glory of being the Happiest Pinoy can only belong to one.
