BAGAC, Bataan – To entertain and give joy to the elderly, Jollibee served as the surprise guest during the general assembly of senior citizens in this town last February 17, held at the municipal grounds.

It has become customary that during former Mayor Ramil del Rosario’s term as mayor of this town, he opted to celebrate his birthdays with the senior citizens.

“Nakita ko po kung gaano kayong kamahal ng aking ama. At ganun din naman po kayo sa puso ko. Kung kaya’t marapat lamang na ipagpatuloy natin ang kanyang nasimulan. First time po na ako ang makakasama ninyo sa event na ito at sana po ay marami pa po tayong pagsamahan,” said Mayor Louise Gabriel del Rosario in his special message.

The program started at 4:00 in the afternoon and lasted till 11:00 pm wherein minor and major prizes were given away. Minor prizes include gift certificates, water jugs, grocery bags, flashlights, wall clocks, transistor radios, flat irons, rice cookers, desk fan, stand fan and double burner gas stoves. Meanwhile, major prizes include washing machine, colored TV and refrigerator. The participants also received cash prizes.

“Naging maayos, masaya at maraming dumalo sa aming pagtitipon. Ang suporta at pakikiisa ng mga kasapi ay ipinakita sa pamamagitan ng group presentations at walang umuwi hanggang matapos,” said Estelita Nojadera, Municipal Federation President.

Having Jollibee as surprise guest, former Mayor Ramil del Rosario announced that soon, there will be a Jollibee-Bagac Branch.

A band also provided entertainment to the delight of the elderly participants.
