Heroes aren’t those we watch on the big screen but the everyday folks that do the best they can for their family and loved ones. Jollibee honors them annually with the Jollibee Family Values Awards.

Going on its 6th year, the JFVA has chosen six Filipino families including one OFW family chosen by a panel of judges.

The families were treated to a picnic and tour of RAVE Pasig, a rainforest park with 16 attractions.

The families were grouped into three’s and each toured the various sections of of the park. Due to the rains, we weren’t able to try their boating lagoon but a tour has shown me how fun it would be to bring the kids.
