CONTEST: “Thank You!” – Now Let’s Spread the Sweetness
It was my birthday yesterday, September 10th, and boy was it amazing. I was so overwhelmed with the outpouring of greetings and well-wishes for me yesterday that even if my fingers already ached so badly, I still had to send sms and Facebook and Twitter and Plurk and IM responses to say, “Thank You” to everyone who greeted me.
I have lots of things to be thankful for, just like this country and our people. After weathering a lot of problems, this country has much to thank for. Despite all the crises and issues the nation has faced, the Filipino has risen above it all – revealing an indomitable spirit fueled by a cheerful, optimistic nature that is truly praiseworthy. And a popular international Swiss chocolate brand believes that this inherently Pinoy character is an amazing reason to celebrate.
In the previous National Thank You Day spearheaded by Toblerone, Filipinos proved to the world that the country is united in gratefulness – debunking the Reader’s Digest survey which claimed that the Philippines is one of the least courteous nations in the world. It proved that there is an abundance in the spirit of thankfulness in this country. And Toblerone wants this spirit of thankfulness to extend further to the whole country – with different cities joining in to show support for this noble cause.
This year, Toblerone launches the SPREAD THE SWEETNESS OF GRATITUDE PHOTO COMPETITION.
