How can overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) show their love to their families or loved ones in the country besides sending cash? How about “remitting” a Jollibee cheeseburger or chicken joy?
On Friday, iRemit Inc. and Jollibee Foods Corp. entered into a non-exclusive memorandum of agreement for the “Jollibee Salu-Salo Padala Treat Mula Sa iRemit” program.
Under the program, Bansan Choa, iRemit chairman and chief executive, said that overseas Filipinos can go to any iRemit foreign office or their partners and order from a variety of Jollibee meal and party packages. Then the fast-food chain would deliver the order at the doorstep of their beneficiaries in Metro Manila. For the provinces, the overseas Filipino’s family picks up the package at the nearest Jollibee outlet.
“It’s just like sending remittances, only this time, they are sending their love and good wishes through food,” said Jollibee president Ernesto Tanmantiong.
According to him, the system is simple, since the overseas Filipino can just go to any iRemit branch or foreign office, choose from the five “Jollibee Langhap-Family Blow-Out Packages” that he wishes to send and then pay for the order.
After payment, Tanmantiong said, the iRemit remittance system uploads the order through a remote delivery system, which the Jollibee head office in Manila, through its delivery hotline 8-7000, accesses and views.
For Metro Manila recipients, the food is delivered right at their doorstep. Provincial recipients, meanwhile, are issued a reference number, which they need to present to their nearest Jollibee store so they can claim their package.
“How fulfilling it is to know that OFWs, through this service, would be able to surprise their families here in the Philippines during birthdays, anniversaries and other family occasions,” Choa said.
Tanmantiong and Choa said that iRemit and Jollibee have set a system in place to make sure that the deliveries are complete and are on time.
“Both companies are focusing on accuracy and prompt delivery especially with the anticipated surge of orders placed not only during family celebrations and occasions but even during ordinary days when OFWs just feel like sending a surprise ‘padala’ to their loved ones,” Jollibee said in a statement.
