Ms. Arline Adeva, Jollibee Philipines Brand Communications and PR Director, Wattpad writers: Ms. Ilyn Danganan, Ms. Bianca Bernardino, and Ms.Tina Lata and of course, the famous Mascot in the country, Jollibee.

Wattpad, the global multiplatform entertainment company for original stories, through its digital advertising partner AdSpark; has partnered with the country’s number one fast food chain to come up with heartwarming stories and to take Filipino culture and storytelling to a global audience. The partnership takes off from the successful and well-received Kwentong Jollibee digital campaign that was launched early this year and has since tugged at the heartstrings of many Filipinos.
The stories developed for Kwentong Jollibee on mobile are One Thing Remains by Ilyn Danganan, Memory Lane by Bianca Bernardino, and ByChance of Fate by Tina Lata. Each story targets different age groups of interest, but showcases the Filipino culture as being kind, hospitable and joyful. As in the digital campaign that inspired these Wattpad stories, Jollibee played a role in the lives of the characters as they went through their own personal journeys.
The 3 WATTPAD writers answers the questions from the media during the launch held at Marco Polo Hotel, Ortigas Center. They're all excited when they heard the news that Wattpad tied up with the #1 Fast Food Chain in the country, which is Jollibee.
 One Thing Remains is the story of Carlo and Chesca, two inseparable siblings whose relationship is tested when Chesca becomes too occupied with her new life as a college student. Memory Lane is a story about Mariel and Marco, a couple who decide to separate on their 58thmonthsary. They accidentally meet again, and the nostalgia of their past relationship is too compelling to ignore. Chance of Fate tells the compelling story about a grandfather named Gilbert, who fears of returning to his favorite restaurant where he first met his first love, Lydia.
