Jollibee Foods Corp., the dominant fast-food operator in the Philippines, swept the 61st Anvil Awards by securing the Company of the Year title alongside a haul of 15 other trophies. The recognition, often described as the top honor in the Philippine public relations industry, follows a period of aggressive marketing and digital expansion for the Quezon City-based fried chicken giant.

The company’s performance was anchored by a Grand Anvil for its “Bida Best, Bida Pinoy” initiative, a multi-platform campaign designed to align the brand with nationalistic sentiment and everyday Filipino achievements. Beyond the top prize, the campaign secured three Gold and one Silver awards across categories including social media, influencer marketing, and experiential branding. The sweep underscores Jollibee’s ability to maintain cultural relevance in a highly competitive quick-service restaurant landscape where consumer loyalty is increasingly driven by digital engagement.

Dorothy Ching, vice president for marketing at Jollibee Philippines, characterized the 16-award tally as a validation of the brand’s community-focused strategy. She noted that the recognition reflects a commitment to work that transcends traditional advertising by fostering deeper connections with the domestic market. The company’s focus on younger demographics was also evident in the two Gold and one Silver awards garnered for its Kids Values Meal program, which integrates advocacy and education into its product offerings.

The awards also highlighted Jollibee’s broader corporate social responsibility and digital infrastructure pivots. The company received Gold Anvils for Project Abulug and "Project 1000: 1,000 Kilometers of Joy," while its revamped mobile application was recognized for innovation in customer experience. As the company seeks to streamline its digital sales channels, the success of the app remains a critical component of its long-term growth strategy.

Other notable mentions included Silver Anvils for the sustainability-themed “Bee Earth’s Best Friend” campaign and a creative collaboration with The Dessert Museum. The Anvil Awards, organized by the Public Relations Society of the Philippines, serve as a benchmark for strategic communication in the country. For Jollibee, the accolades arrive as the company continues to balance its massive domestic footprint with an ambitious global expansion plan, reinforcing its position as the standard-bearer for Philippine corporate branding.
