“We are more than excited to spread joy and kindness to our Filipino users through My Shopee 11.11 Christmas Wish. Christmas has always been a highly anticipated holiday in the Philippines and we want to take this opportunity to create happy and meaningful memories with our users during this season of giving. We are grateful to have Kris Aquino interact and engage with these families in need and we will continue to come up with initiatives like this to bring joy to the Filipino community and spread the benefits of online shopping to everyone.” ~Martin Yu, Associate Director at Shopee Philippines
Shopee, the leading e-commerce platform in Southeast Asia and Taiwan, together with its new brand ambassador Kris Aquino, surprises three Filipino families with special deliveries just a few weeks before Christmas. With the festive season just around the corner, Shopee started the online initiative, My Shopee 11.11 Christmas Wish, asking users what they wanted to receive this holiday.
Most wishes were simple, heartwarming, and centered on earning enough to feed their families and sustain their current livelihood. Each of the three families received ₱50,000 in cash, ₱10,000 worth of ShopeePay credits, and a specific wish granted. On November 10, Shopee brand ambassador Kris Aquino personally delivered the gifts right to their doorsteps.
Last November 10, Kris Aquino brought joy to Filipino families with early Christmas presents from Shopee.
