Moments of pure happiness

MANILA, Philippines - Romantics say that a picture is worth a thousand words. This year, Cadbury sweetens the deal by saying, “It’s worth more than a thousand words, and more thousands of pesos.”

Last January, Cadbury came out with the Moments of Pure Happiness promo, which gave a chance for chocolate lovers of all ages the chance to win P50,000 just by sharing a photo of their most memorable moment with a Cadbury chocolate. Sure enough, everyone went into a snapping frenzy to get their best pictures posted online. Cadbury received an overwhelming surge of over a thousand entries over the last four months, while the promo website www.momentsofpurehappiness.com collected a happy turnout of 109,276 online votes. Winners were gathered based from votes online, while online voters got their share of cash prizes, too.

The votes have been cast and here are the official winners: Grand prize winner (P50,000), Jonathan Lee; second placer (P30,000) Jo-anne Sy Wong; third prize winner (P20,000) Twinkle Rodriguez; Top 10 winners (P10,000 each) Fritzie Carla Gomez, Kimberly Sombrito, Hazel Marie Buenaventura, Vlelyn Ang, Gloria de Guzman, Jerrison Eric Siy, Ludy Ng, Jennifer Go, Jocelyn Go and Nelson Ng; and the online vote winners (P5,000) Fillip Castro and Jeffrey Siy.
