Seeing the country in 10 days with Jollibee Drive-Thru Cross Country Challenge

MANILA, Philippines - Ten teams. Five regions. One hundred seventy-one Jollibee Drive-Thru stores. For 10 days, 10 tandems composed of an interesting mix of adventure-seekers will drive across the country to compete in the “Jollibee Drive-Thru Cross Country Challenge.”

Driving their Ford Fiesta, the teams will go on an exciting adventure to conquer the regions of North Luzon, Metro Manila, South Luzon, and Visayas-Mindanao as they make their way to designated Jollibee Drive-Thru pit stops and several top tourist destinations. Driving from one pit stop to another, participants will be made to accomplish different sets of fun tasks and challenges and gain corresponding points. Teams can also navigate their way to as many of the 171 Jollibee drive-thru stores nationwide as they can and accomplish tasks for extra points and a greater chance of winning.

At the end of the challenge, the team with the most number of accumulated points will win two brand-new Ford Fiestas and a cash prize of P1M.
