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 Toblerone, 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.
In line with Toblerone’s National Thank You Day Celebration, a photo contest will be held among chocoholics. The theme of this year’s photo competition is Spread the Sweetness of Gratitute.
The Contest runs from SEPTEMBER 7, 2009 to OCTOBER 16, 2009, 5:00 PM Manila time (GMT+8)
