The country’s 112th Independence Day was marked with a grand celebration as Jollibee, the country’s number one fast-food chain, welcomes Independence Day with more than five hours of fun-filled entertainment at the Metrotent Convention Center in Pasig.


The #PinoyAndProud 2016 Grand Independence Day Celebration and Countdown was attended by thousands of Jollibee customers. Performances by top Pinoy talents led by Sarah Geronimo, JK Labajo, Elmo Magalona, Spongecola, and Itchyworms livened up the crowd.  Jollibee ambassadors Jodi Sta. Maria and the Legaspi family Zoren, Carmina, Mavy, and Cassy also turned up during the celebration.



During the celebration, the Jollibee’s latest anthem was released for the first time to the public.  Titled “Sarap at Saya”, this inspirational song is written for the country’s 118th Independence Day, to remind everyone how joyful it is to be Filipino and to highlight the many qualities that make every Pinoy proud of our beautiful country and unique culture, in short an anthem that is sure to make Filipinos #PinoyAndProud.


Through the years, Jollibee has consistently introduced generation-defining jingles through its TV commercials. Top hits include the iconic “Beeda ang Saya” and “I Love You Sabado,” which captured the hearts of Pinoys of all ages. The brand’s latest anthem—especially composed for Independence Day—is slated to become another classic. 

“Sarap at Saya” redefines Pinoy pride by igniting interest in commemorating the one truly Filipino holiday of the year, and in celebrating Independence Day as one resilient, jolly, and hopeful nation.

Rachelle Ann Go, the country's emerging international musical titan and star of the London West End productions of Miss Saigon and Les Miserables, and The Voice Kids Philippines Season 1 runner-up and teen singing sensation Darren Espanto brought the anthem to life with their emotional rendition.


It was also during the countdown that the song was performed live for the first time by Darren joined by The X Factor Philippines season 1 champ KZ Tandingan at the Jollibee#PinoyAndProud: 2016 Independence Day Celebration and Countdown.


The music video version, starring Rachelle Ann and Darren, premiered on local TV and online through the Jollibee Facebook page and on the official Jollibee YouTube channel last June 12.

Did you know that the generation that grew up on the buzzing sounds of dial-up internet is now officially grown up and running the world. In fact, not a few of them are already full-fledged fathers. So we threw a couple of these digital dads a fun, hypothetical question: If they could go a few years back in time (back when 3G was new and their own fathers weren’t yet on Facebook), what advice would they give to themselves on how to survive being a father?

Ian Bacungan, theroguewriter.net/ DWDD

Message for his younger self : “Remember, acceptance freed me and helped me survive fatherhood. Honestly, at first, I was so afraid. I am not prepared to be a father. I am afraid that I won’t be able to support the needs of my children. I was also thinking that party days and good times are over.


“Accepting the reality that I will already be a father helped me become a better man and eventually, a better father. Accepting fatherhood gave me a sense of direction and responsibility. Acceptance made me feel a stronger bond between me and my kids. After all, party days are not over, fathers like me should just know out limits and priorities.”

Bacungan is a loving husband and father to two kids. Aside from blogging, he is also a radio anchor and a digital media specialist.

Marco Rafael, m2comms.com

Message for his younger self: “My best advice would be, to face everything that happens and not worry about it too much. I know there are a lot of worries, fears, and anxieties involved with becoming a father. ‘What if she grows up a misfit?’ ‘What if she doesn't like me as a father?’ ‘What if I don't give her a proper life?’ Well, what if you just shut it, man up, and be a father to your daughter? Don't try to overthink stuff. Be the best dad that you can be. Experience not just the pleasures and joy of being a father but also the pains. How else would you explain to your 4 year-old daughter that her beloved grandfather has passed away?”

Marco Rafael is the creative director of digital agency M2 Communications. 


Eli Villagonzalo, Elifestylemanila.com

Message for his younger self: “I keep thinking: If I could have strived more during the earlier days, maybe if I tried to work abroad, or climbed the corporate ladder earlier, or been more aggressive at work, or devoted more time and persistence... But honestly, I have no regrets, only that life could have been much better if I had faced the tougher days when I was younger. So that’s what I would tell myself.”


Photography and writing is Villagonzalo’s passion.

Azrael Coladilla, azraelsmerryland.blogspot.com

Message for his younger self: "Good job for making the best decision for yourself and your family. You might feel like you’re not ready, but you’re going to do great as a young father and husband. Kudos to you, and more power for your future!"


Coladilla is a full-time blogger, freelance photographer, social media manager, co-founder of ToyCon and digital marketing consultant.
  
Brian Herrera, media-meter.net

Message for his younger self: “It won’t be easy, but it will be the best thing that will ever happen to you. In the course of your fatherhood, you will enjoy every single day of being a dad.”


Herrera is the general manager of Media Meter, a real-time, quad-media monitorin g service.

Enzo Luna, juanmanilaexpress.com

Message for his younger self: “I don't have any regrets having to raise my two kids, and so surviving fatherhood wasn’t a tough job for me. But if I have to go back in time and have a heart-to-heart talk to my young self, I would say to him: ‘Love your kids even more, no matter what they do or what becomes of them. Just keep it cool raising your kids.’


“To date, I don't have big problems with my kids. Their mom and I, we taught them to be responsible and independent at their young age. I'm glad they're growing up well.”

Luna, a former bar promoter, now runs magazine-themed blog Juan Manila Express.


And to all dads out there -  If you could travel slightly back in time, what would you tell yourself?


Happy Father’s Day!
