Chanon Santinatornkul, Live in Manila!

International big screen sensation Chanon Santinatornkul is set to visit Manila for his first-ever solo fan meeting entitled Breaktime! on November 30, 2018 at SM Sky Dome.

Famously known as Nonkul, his acting career started in 2014’s “Love’s Coming”. Eventually, he starred in several local television series in Thailand including his notable performance in the hit series “Hormones 3”. What drove him to international stardom was his breakthrough role in the 2017 film “Bad Genius” which led Nonkul as one of Asia’s most renowned actors today.

“Bad Genius” is a movie inspired by real-life news of high school students who devised a sophisticated exam cheating scheme for profit. It uproots the heist film structure to a school-exam setting, and features themes of class inequality as well as teen social issues. The movie has garnered success across Southeast Asian countries including Thailand, Cambodia, and Malaysia. It has also topped the box office in the Philippines where Nonkul, more popularly known in the country as Bank from his role in the film, will be paying a visit.

Rooting after the hit movie’s setting, Breaktime! will surely be an afternoon of fun activities. Get a chance to take part in an afternoon of singing, dancing, and getting to know more about him on November 30 at SM Sky Dome.

Jollibee’s Toronto Store Brings A Taste Of Home To Canada’s Largest Filipino Community

Filipinos and locals alike in Canada’s east coast had an exciting Easter treat as Jollibee opened its first store in the Greater Toronto Area in early April.

On Saturday evening—hours before the grand opening—hundreds of Filipinos already camped-out in front of Jollibee Scarborough, located at 15 William Kitchen Road, eager to step inside the store to savor a taste of home.

Jollibee Scarborough is the Filipino fast-food chain’s third store in Canada and the 40th store in North America. Here, residents can savor the crispylicious and juicylicious Jolly Crispy Chicken (more popularly known as Chickenjoy here in the Philippines), the tastiest and meatiest Jollibee Spaghetti, Palabok Fiesta, and the golden-brown Peach Mango Pie, among other langhap-sarap treats.

No less than Jollibee welcomed Filipinos to the store, including its very first customer, Paul, who looked forward to enjoying the Jolly Crispy Chicken for the first time in six years.

“For us, nothing brings greater joy than to bring people together over great-tasting food and happy moments. We are excited to bring to Scarborough the popular dishes that many now enjoy in different parts of the world,” said Jose Miñana, Jollibee Foods Corporation (JFC) group president for North America.

Scarborough is home to an estimated 50,000 plus Filipinos and is one of the most popular destinations for new immigrants to reside. The Greater Toronto Area, where Scarborough is located, is the most populous metropolitan area in Canada with around 200,000 Filipinos residents.

“We look forward to bringing a familiar ‘taste of home’ to our countrymen in the Greater Toronto Area. Many may not know that this area is home to the largest Filipino community in Canada! And we won’t stop here – another location in Mississauga is in the pipeline for the year,” said Beth Dela Cruz, Jollibee North America vice president and general manager.

Jollibee Foods Corporation is currently the largest Asian food service company, operating in 16 markets, with over 3,800 stores globally, of which 1,272 are Jollibee brand stores. The company’s aggressive expansion plan in North America is part of its overarching goal to be among the top five restaurant brands globally.

Filipinos spent the eve of the Jollibee Scarborough grand opening exchanging stories of how they miss their families and the taste of home.

Filipinos who waited through the night were surprised to see Jollibee welcoming them as Jollibee Scarborough finally opened its doors.

A Filipino gets a collectible Jollibee plush doll for being one of the first 100 customers.

Other customers also received limited edition Jollibee collectible toys that celebrate and promote Filipino culture.
